It was so much fun making a custom board because I could pick out all the parts. First was the deck. It's a 7.75 inch and the brand is Toy Machine. It has an American flag on it. Then I picked out the grip tape. It has a alien getting beamed up by a flying saucer. It looks like this and I love it because it's unique.
Next we picked out the trucks. I learned that the trucks couldn't be longer than the width of the deck. Afterwards we chose wheels and barrings. The wheels I picked were Spitfire brand. They have a snake on one of the wheels and look like this...
Next, we bolted the trucks onto the deck. I learned how to stuff the barrings into the wheels. Next we screwed the wheels onto the trucks. Finally we had a complete board! I've been skating on it all day, and I can't wait to show my friends.
