Skateboard buying, fitting & adjustment service
The biggest challenge to learning to skateboard is getting & setting up your skateboard
Fit for purpose
Avoid buying online, because you can’t test the trucks
Unlike bikes, skateboard retail is not regulated by the British Standards Institute, so quality and safety is not guaranteed.
Sized for you
We are all different shapes & sizes, and without experience you’ll need help sizing your skateboard
The size, specifically the wheelbase, is the most important aspect of the skateboard.
Adjusted for you
When you buy our complete skateboard you receive our unique fitting and adjustment service
When you buy a new skateboard, it is not ready to ride out-of-the-box, even if sized correctly for you.
It’s always best to buy at skater-owned skate shops where they will ensure quality and sizing..
...we add our unique adjustment service.
When you buy a skateboard from us, it includes a complementary lesson where we learn stance, how to push, and then learn to carve.
We’ll send you a complementary coupon code to book a beginner lesson at Copelands.
At your lesson you can collect your skateboard, and during your lesson we will teach you the beginner skills, before coming onto the key skill – the Carve.
During carving you’ll need to adjust the trucks, and we have skate tools to do this for you.

Check it yourself
If you want to check what you are buying yourself, you can learn the quick skateboard test, so you can identify a functional skateboard.
Send skateboards back to the shop if the trucks do not flex smoothly!
