How about the Powell-Peralta skateboard brand introduction

Recommended models: Caballero Pro Flight Skateboard Assembly -9x31.9, Ripper One Off Assembly -7x28, Skull and Snake One Off Assembly -7.625x31.625
 
Skateboarding emerged in the 70s and 80s, and Powell-Peralta took advantage of the trend, attracting a large number of talented skaters in its early days. A 30-year-old skateboarder, there are still star skaters playing for professional teams, which is not common in the skateboarding world, where skaters change frequently. At the end of the 80s, skateboarding began to rise in China, and Powell-Peralta became the first skateboarding brand to enter the Chinese market. In addition to professional deck production, Powell-Peralta also manufactures other skateboard accessories, with Bones Bearings and Roller Bones being the skateboard configurations of choice for intermediate and advanced gamers.
 
Skaters usually pay attention to the foot sockets, which are the degree of depression of the board surface, the deep foot sockets will have better wrapping around the feet, and it is convenient to get the feet in place when doing tricks, while the shallow foot sockets have higher requirements for the control of the skater when doing tricks. Novices are best to choose a skateboard with a deeper socket for better stability. Most brands usually use shallow, moderate, and deep to distinguish the degree of depression, and Powell-Peralta has its own set of board codes, k12, k15, k16 are common board depression codes, k12, k15 board surface is deeper than k16 board surface depression, more suitable for novices to get started.
 
Skateboard wheels are usually measured in xxA, with higher numbers indicating stiffer wheels. Small diameter hard wheels mean that they are close to the ground, the center of gravity is low enough, the friction is small enough, and the starting skills are smoother, and the skateboards suitable for skills are mostly equipped with wheels with a diameter of about 52mm and a hardness of more than 90A. If you're looking to assemble a skateboard, Powell-Peralta's Bones are the perfect choice.
 
Powell-Peralta is mostly made of skulls, dragons, snakes, and swords, making it the first choice for street style skaters. The skull and snake bottom and the Skull and Snake One Off Assembly with red wheels - 7.625x31.625 are the most incisive interpretation of classic street style, and it is also the whole board that best embodies the brand culture of Powell-Peralta. The size of 7.625 inches is suitable for most adults, and the foot sockets are deeper, and stability will be better when doing tricks. The same is the Ripper One Off Assembly - 7x28 at the bottom of the skull board, which is more suitable for children or adults with smaller foot sizes, with a price of $89.95, it is a good choice to buy the whole board.
 
For skaters who have high requirements for flexibility and durability, the Caballero Pro Flight Skateboard Assembly-9x31.9 will be more suitable, and the 9-inch wide board is more suitable for skateboarders with larger feet or prefer a larger board surface, and the stability is also better. This model uses the Flight panel, which is simple and unpretentious, but the performance is very good. Capable of withstanding more force than ordinary surfaces, with higher durability and testing rebound at the same force, Powell-Peralta's Flight surface allows the hammer to rebound higher and perform better. The wheels are stiff to 104A, and with a high-quality independent bridge, the price of $104.83 is not too expensive.
