Skateboard
About
A standard skateboard is a wheeled riding deck measuring about 31.5 inches long, sized for foot control and street tricks.
Street skateboards typically range from 28 to 33 inches (0.7 to 0.84 m) long, while downhill longboards can stretch well over 40 inches (1.0 m). Widths usually fall between 7.5 and 8.5 inches (19 to 22 cm), chosen based on the rider's shoe size and skating style. Despite weighing under 8 pounds (3.6 kg), the layered maple deck and steel trucks are engineered to withstand impacts from drops of several feet.
From Wikipedia
A skateboard is a type of sports equipment used for skateboarding. It is usually made of a specially designed 7–8-ply maple plywood deck and has polyurethane wheels attached to the underside by a pair of skateboarding trucks.
