Globe g2 Dot Gain - 8.125" Complete Skateboard

USE
- Perfect for urban areas and skateparks.

STYLE
- If you mostly "STREET RIDING", then it is better to opt for a skateboard with small wheels, because you will be closer to the ground, and this will improve your stability.
- If you are more oriented towards tricks on ramps then the big wheels will be a better choice.

MANUFACTURING
- Skateboards are made from maple (usually 7 layers of Canadian maple wood) and most are made in the USA.

STYLE
- Cruiser: Cruisers are great for beginners, and anyone who wants to take a ride on asphalt.
- Downhill: Downhill longboards are designed to go very fast (+/- 100km / H)
- Dancing: The length of the "Dancings Boards" will allow you to walk or "dance" on the board while riding, taking inspiration from long surfboards.
- Freeride & Freestyle: The Freeride and Freestyle boards are perfect if you want to do tricks on flat surfaces.

MANUFACTURING
- Longboards are either made from maple (usually 7 layers of Canadian maple wood), bamboo, or fiberglass, or can contain all of these components at once, and most are made in the USA.
