" Hi! my name is Brandon and I work at BC Surf-n-Sport here in Coral Springs, Florida. You can find us on the web at www.bcsurf.com. Today I am going to show you a different kind of skateboards you could buy for instance this one right here is the one that is mainly used to do tricks. You should also get a certain one for your size, like if you are like a little kid, you are 5 years old, they make smaller ones for your size or if you don’t want to do any tricks there is some that are mainly for cruising a little bit longer and the bearings are a little bit better. What we could also do is buy better bearings for your wheels to make your board a little bit faster and may be a little bit softer wheels and you won’t get as much as rough on the floor with the harder wheels. Also, if you want you can also cut out a line in the back of the grip tape to make sure where your back is, sometimes that gets a little confusing between the nose and the tail and also make sure that you wear your helmet because as they always say safety first."
