The Tony Hawk SS 180 Wingspan 8" is a complete skateboard designed specifically for beginners who need a stable, predictable and confidence-building setup from day one. Every component has been selected to support early progression while maintaining a smooth, forgiving riding sensation. The deck is built from 7 layers of Hardrock maple, a wood known for its durability and rigidity, ensuring consistent performance even with repeated impacts. Its medium concave provides natural foot placement and enhanced board control, while the double kicktail allows beginners to attempt foundational tricks such as entry-level ollies, basic manuals and directional changes with greater ease.
In real use, the board delivers a very balanced and controlled ride. Measuring 31.5 inches long and 8 inches wide, it offers a generous platform that helps riders maintain stability while learning weight transfer and body positioning. The 5.25" heavy-duty aluminium trucks add structural strength, keeping the setup solid underfoot. The 85A PU bushings give smooth, accessible turning with minimal resistance, ideal for new riders still developing coordination. The 52 mm, 95A PU-injected wheels provide a good blend of grip and glide, making them suitable for both street surfaces and skateparks without transmitting excessive vibration. Completing the setup, the ABEC-3 bearings deliver moderate, controlled speed – perfect for beginners who prioritise stability and smooth rolling over fast acceleration.
Technically, the skateboard is engineered as a cohesive unit that balances durability, stability and user-friendly performance. The Hardrock maple deck offers long-lasting rigidity, the truck geometry supports steady weight distribution, and the pre-applied 80S black grip tape ensures reliable traction without being overly abrasive. Altogether, the Tony Hawk SS 180 Wingspan 8" provides a dependable and encouraging platform for new skaters looking to progress safely and confidently.
