How do you transport your skateboarding items ?
To be able to take your board and all the accessories you need with you wherever you go, you need a suitable backpack.

What style of clothing should I wear ?
Since skateboarders are easily recognizable by their streetwear look, it's normal that you adopt the same style of clothing! But whatever you put on, it should give you the freedom of movement you need ! That's essential if you're going to be able to move around freely. In this case, choose loose-fitting clothes such as baggy trousers and an Oversize T-shirt ! But you can also wear slim trousers and a slightly tight T-shirt with a flannel shirt ! To complete your look, put on a casual cap or bob hat to avoid being blinded by the sun. And to stand out from the other skateboarders, a bandana is recommended !
