Interested in skating, or already started? Sure, you could grab a preassembled board, but it's so much more rewarding to build your own, and you'll feel more connected to your little skating pal after. Here are some basic parts to assemble a complete skateboard - remember that different people prefer different skate setups, so these might not all work the best for you.
