Skateboarding is the act of rolling on or interacting with a skateboard. A skateboard is a platform typically made of wood, 2 1/2 to 3 feet long that is attached to 2 metal parts called trucks. These trucks are make of 2 parts: the top part of the truck is attached to the bottom part of the skateboard and is called the baseplate. The bottom part of the truck is called the hanger. Between the baseplate and the hanger are bushings (other names are rubbers, or grommets) that provide the spring mechanizm for turning the skateboard. A bolt called a kingpin holds the truck parts together. Attached to the 2 ends of each truck are wheels.
On this Skateboard you get RAD (short for radical)! :)
