Why Wood Risers Feel Different
A hardwood riser is essentially rigid at the forces skateboarding puts on it. Instead of soaking up energy, it transfers it. Pop feels snappier, trucks respond more directly, and turning feels locked in instead of springy. Because wood doesn't compress or take a set the way rubber does, your ride height and truck geometry stay exactly where you set them up, session after session.
Like any riser, wood risers also raise your ride height to help prevent wheelbite.

FAQ
How many come in a pack?
Two, one for each truck.
How are wood risers different from plastic ones?
Wood is essentially rigid at skateboarding forces, so it transfers energy instead of absorbing it. That means snappier pop and more direct turning, and the risers don't compress or take a set over time.
Will these fit my trucks?
They're specially shaped to fit Thunder trucks. For other trucks, see Real's universal fit risers in the table above.
What size hardware do I need?
Risers up to 1/8" work with 1" hardware, and you add length as risers get taller. For 1/4" risers, use 1 1/4" hardware. See our sizing guide for decks, trucks, wheels, hardware, and risers.
