News and Insight Reviews

We also dive into cultural topics. The piece Why are the Japanese so dominant in Olympic skateboarding? explains how early access to skateparks and a respectful community give Japan a winning edge. It’s a short read that adds context to the medals you see on TV.

Looking for a simple buying guide? The post How much does a skateboard deck cost? lays out the price range from $30 to $60 for decent decks and points out when it makes sense to spend over $100 for premium wood and graphics. That way you won’t overpay for a board that won’t hold up.
