About The Board Skateboard

Ny Board dia skateboard azo aforitra natao mba ho mora entina sy tehirizina. Ny takelany dia vita amin'ny savily mihodina 57 mifampiraikitra. Amin'ny alalan'ny famoretana ireo savily amin'ny lafiny iray na ny hafa, ny endrika cruiser mahazatra dia miova ho boribory tanteraka. Amin'ny endriny boribory, ny Board dia mety ao anaty kitapo lamosina ary azo tehirizina amin'ny toerana tery na aseho ho toy ny haingo ao an-trano. Aliminioma, vy ary plastika no ampiasaina amin'ny fanamboarana azy. Ny dingan'ny fiovan'endrika dia manome hatsaran-tarehy mazava ho an'ny famolavolana.
