Globe Goodstock Complete

Keep your Globe Goodstock in top shape with a regular routine. The board consists of a maple wood deck, griptape, urethane wheels, and metal parts, and each part benefits from a little attention.

• Cleaning: Never put the board in water. Wipe the deck and trucks with a dry or slightly damp cloth, and brush the griptape with a soft brush or grip gum to remove dust and dirt.
• Wheels and bearings: Remove the wheels from time to time with a T-tool and wipe the bearings. Remove any sand and dirt that can get stuck and affect the roll.
• Drying: If the board gets wet, wipe it dry immediately and then let it air-dry at room temperature. Avoid radiators, direct sunlight, and other heat sources, as heat and moisture can cause the wood layers to separate.
• Storage: Store the board indoors in a dry place at normal room temperature - not in a car trunk or a damp basement. Stand it on its side or hang it up so the wheels don't get flat spots.
• Maintenance: Regularly check that the nuts on the trucks and wheels are tight, and adjust the kingpin if the board feels too loose or too tight. Replace worn parts when the pop or roll deteriorates.

Is the Globe Goodstock ready to skate right away?

Yes, it’s a complete board with the deck, trucks, wheels and bearings installed at the factory. If needed, adjust the tightness of the trucks with a T-tool to suit your style.

Which width should I choose?

The Goodstock comes in widths of 7.75, 7.875 and 8.25 inches. The narrower options are great for technical street skating and younger skaters, while the wider option offers more stability for the park, transition and cruising.

Is the board suitable for beginners?

Yes. The setup is well-balanced and predictable, so it’s easy to learn to skate on, and the quality components mean it can keep up as you improve.

What does the setup include?

A seven-ply hard rock maple Resin-7 deck, Tensor alloy trucks, Globe wheels in hard 99A urethane, ABEC-7 bearings and black griptape.

What does Resin-7 mean?

It’s Globe’s construction method, where the deck is pressed with epoxy resin instead of water-based glue. This makes for a lighter, stronger deck with longer-lasting pop.

Is the board suitable for both street skating and the skatepark?

Yes, it’s a versatile all-round board. The hard 99A wheels and classic shape with full concave handle both smooth concrete in the park and your favorite street spots.

How do I keep the board in good condition?

Store it indoors in a dry place, keep it away from water and direct heat, and regularly check the nuts, kingpin and bearings with a T-tool.
