Wheels, trucks, bearings, and tape are essential components of a skateboard. Wheels are the circular objects that attach to the trucks and allow the board to roll smoothly. Trucks are the metal T-shaped pieces that connect the wheels to the deck and allow for turning. Bearings are small metal balls that fit inside the wheels and enable them to spin freely. Tape, also known as grip tape, is a rough, sandpaper-like material that is applied to the top of the skateboard deck to provide traction for the rider's feet. Together, these components work in harmony to create a fully functional skateboard.
