First Skatebords Complete pre assembled
One of my personal most memorable Christmas gifts was my very own complete skateboard. So passing on that excitement is something I love helping family and friends select. If you might be purchasing your child or friends first skateboard we have all the right selection for you! At Amateur Athlete Skate shop stocking custom pre assembled skateboards is something were known for. Most skateboard companies make pre assembled complete skateboards which are good for first time users or those whom are new and just getting started in skateboards. Pre built skateboards are a great way to go. It makes things very easy. You don't have to worry about which wheels and trucks and the different sizes incorporated in that. At Amateur Athlete We offer a great next level Pre Built custom skateboard complete package. We carefully select skateboard decks from our huge selection and match the correctly sized skateboard wheels and trucks. These trucks are also parts pulled from our current stock. We use the better bearings, bolts and grip tape. So in the end your are getting a fully custom pre built skateboard complete. Our pre assembled custom completes are a level higher than standard company pre assembled completes in that we don't cheap out on the bearings and wheels, which aren't terrible on the standard company completes, but have room for improvement. In the end Our custom pre assembled completes are better for a few reasons. No complete skateboard is alike. All are compared of different wheels decks and bearings. Unlike the Brand completes that are all exactly the same complete set up. It adds a taste of style in that their skateboard is not alike any other pre assembled skateboard. All the custom complete pre assembled skateboards we build are still universal in the way other skateboard wheels and trucks will still fit when it's time to get new gear! The biggest complaint about Brand pre assembled completes is the quality of the wheels and trucks. So we select pro level trucks for our Amateur Athlete custom complete skateboards. Any new or seasoned skateboarder will be super stoked to receive one of our custom pre assembled completes. Be sure to check out our Completes collection and pick out which complete fits your loved one ur shopping for. https://aa1982.com/collections/completes
