Skate Wax
There are times when some surfaces aren’t that smooth for your skateboard tricks. Make a ledge or any surface that feels a little sticky into something smoother and butterier by waxing it. Before applying, be sure to ask someone who is using that skating ledge if you could wax it or not. When storing skate wax, place it in a plastic bag so it doesn’t turn into a mess in your bag just in case it melts.
Bandages
Injuries are a common part of skateboarding, whether you’re still a beginner or already a pro. In case you or one of your friends fall down and get injured, having a bandage ready can really help a lot to patch the wound up. You could also carry with you an ACE bandage just in case a wrist or ankle got twisted and needs compression.
Utility Knife
A utility knife has plenty of uses. Aside from cutting things, you could also use it when gripping a new deck. Be sure to have one in your bag a never forget to close it up after using to prevent cuts and tears on your bag and other items inside.
Shoelaces
Aside from spare parts for your skateboard, it would also help a lot if you bring extra shoelaces in your skate bag. You’ll never know when your old shoelace could get damaged and it’s a lot convenient when you have one ready if you or your friend needs it.
