How do you tell the difference between the back and front of the skateboard?

Answer 1

Generally from the materials. A fake skateboard (one from like Walmart or most sporting goods stores) is made from plastic or low quality wood. The wheels also may also be plastic, if it's like 50$ for a pre-built full skateboard, its likely a rip off.

Make sure to get a skateboard from a skateshop or online from a skate supplier or whatever (I.e. www.ccs.com, ecboardco.com ect..)

Answer 2

The way you can tell that a skateboard is fake is that if it doesnt have grip tape (the black rough-smooth part). Also if it has pictures on both sides of the board. And if the picture or design is not a real skate company.

Answer 3

a real skateboard is purchased in a boardshop, usually selling snowboards, skateboards and surfboards. A fake skateboard is one that is purchased at wallmart, big five, or any other sporting good store. MUST BE EXCLUSIVELY A BOARDSHOP!
