A solid skateboard to start riding

The Tony Hawk 180 skateboard is designed for riders who want to start skateboarding and learn the basics. If you have been watching others ride at the skatepark and want to give it a try yourself, this setup makes it easier to get started.

The 8.0" deck width works well for riders with shoe sizes around 42 and above. A wider deck gives you more space under your feet, which helps with balance and makes the board feel more stable when you are learning.

7-ply maple deck

The deck is made from seven layers of maple, the most commonly used wood in skateboards.

Maple is strong and naturally flexible, which helps the board stay durable while still feeling responsive under your feet. This makes learning tricks easier and keeps the deck holding its shape during regular use.

Double kick shape

The nose and tail are slightly raised, known as a double kick shape.

This design allows you to lift the board off the ground more easily and begin learning tricks such as the ollie. It also improves control when turning and maneuvering.

Durable aluminium trucks

The skateboard comes with aluminium trucks built to handle regular riding.

They keep the board stable and respond smoothly to your body movement, which helps you stay balanced and makes turning easier while you learn.

85A bushings

The trucks use 85A bushings.

In practice this means the board is not too stiff and not too loose. Turning feels smooth and predictable, which helps beginners get comfortable controlling the board.

Wheels built for learning

The 54 mm wheels provide good stability and control, which is important when learning how to ride.

The 95A hardness rolls smoothly on flat ground and works well for practicing your first tricks.

ABEC-3 bearings

The skateboard comes with ABEC-3 bearings that keep the wheels rolling smoothly.

This allows you to focus on balance, control and building confidence on the board instead of struggling with the setup.

Why this skateboard is a good choice

If you are looking for a beginner skateboard, this model offers a reliable and easy-to-control setup.

The maple deck, stable trucks and balanced wheels create a board that helps you feel confident while learning. It is a setup that lets you focus on riding, improving balance and practicing your first tricks.
