Here we have some skateboard information on yer actual skateboard, including all you need to know on them. Here are a few facts guys and gals, dudes and dudesses:
The skateboard deck, that is the flat surface of the skateboard, is normally made out of laminated maple. How thick the skateboard is depends on the number of layers that the deck is made out of. The less experienced skateboarder should be more inclined to pick a thick skateboard for ease of balance.
For your skateboard information, the wheels are more often than not made out of polyurethane, and can be sized between 39 to 66 millimetres in diameter.
The front of the skateboard is called the nose, which comprises of the front truck bolts to the end of the board.
The back of the skateboard is called the tail, which comprises of the back truck bolts back to the end of the board.
The wheelbase is basically the distance between the front and the back wheels.
Most skateboards come with grip tape on them, or skateboarders put tape on them when they buy their board. The grip tape is stuck to the deck, and has an abrasive surface to give the skateboarder plenty grip to the board, so that they will not slip off so readily.
So theres some skateboard information for your delectation. It is not that important that you know this information, the main thing is being able to skate on the thing! But it gives you a feel for your board and what you are dealing with, and ya know what they say, knowledge is power.
If you want information on skateboarding, including tips, tricks, facts, history, gear, boards, safety etc, then there is a great resource at SkatePlanet
