The following short section is intended for those of us who don’t have the time to read through the full Cruising & Carving Guide. If you have the time, check out the in-depth guide. If you’re just looking for some inspiration, the following examples will certainly help you out! Otherwise, head on over to the in-depth guide. It was designed to help you choose the right deck, trucks, wheels, and bearings for your unique riding style and body characteristics.
