While the Tasmanian Angel graphic is frequently found on a 7.75" scaled-down Bunyip shape, the 8.25" full-sized variant gives riders a wider, more stable platform that transitions perfectly from technical street lines to local skateparks.

wheelbase extension (an important optimization for all beginners, reversible)
bushings (the bushings are located in the axles and must be selected depending on the weight. Children need soft ones!)

And here you will find our diversity
- on griptape, the adhesive coating on the top of the deck, which is almost always black on complete boards.
- on bearings, 2 of which are in each roller. There are huge differences in quality and price (up to 225 euros!). We usually sell bearings worth from 15 euros (Emillion Roadrunner) to 50 euros (Red Baron Speedbearings, made in Germany, as good as Bones Swiss worth 95 euros!))
- on wheels: Professional skateboarders use hard wheels (97A to 103A), which are recommended for skate parks with smooth surfaces. We recommend soft (78A to 92A) wheels for beginners as they often drive over rough roads/slabs. You can see why we recommend Sharkwheels to beginners in this mini video or in this 10-minute Galileo article.
For the hard wheels, we recommend Speedlab and Rainskate wheels, which we import directly from USA for you!
Assembly: DIY or DIE!
We want to motivate you to put your board together yourself. Especially if it's for your child (from around 6 years old) and they can do it themselves. In addition, we are short of time and our prices are calculated tightly, so that we charge about as much for assembly as you pay for a tool, and such a tool is not only practical and handy, but is also needed again and again, especially to make the steering harder or softer (e.g. in the halfpipe you drive harder/stiffer axles than in the bowl, and before a steep descent it is also recommended to make the steering harder)
You can find assembly instructions here.
TOOLS (absolutely included!)
We have only included 2 cheap models here. For example, if you want the silver tool or a particularly flat one, select no here and take a look at https://www.subvert.de/Skatetools- Werkzeug-Wax-Gripgum.
