Not necessary for all the items on this list, but here’s a solid list of 5–10 must-haves every skateboarder should keep in their skate bag — whether you’re hitting a park, a street spot, or a contest:

🛠️ 1. Skate Tool 

• Essential for tightening trucks, changing wheels, or adjusting hardware on the go.
  (Bonus: carry a small wrench or Allen key if your setup uses special bolts.)

🔩 2. Extra Hardware

• A few spare nuts, bolts, and washers can save a session if something falls off or strips.

🛹 3. Bearings / Bearing Cleaner

• Extra bearings or a small bottle of cleaner/lube to keep your ride smooth after dust or water sessions.

👟 4. Shoe Goo or Grip Tape Patch (Optional)

• Quick fix for torn skate shoes or worn-out grip spots — perfect for extending shoe life.

🩹 5. First Aid Basics

• Band-Aids, alcohol wipes, and a small roll of tape or gauze for quick patch-ups.

💧 6. Water Bottle / Electrolyte Drink

• Staying hydrated keeps your pop and focus sharp.

🍌 7. Snack or Energy BaR

• Something quick like a banana, protein bar, or trail mix for mid-session fuel.

🕶️ 8. Sunglasses / Hat / Sunscreen

• Protect your eyes and skin during long outdoor sessions.

🎧 9. Portable Speaker or Earbuds

• For those solo sessions or hyped-up crew sessions.

📸 10. Phone / GoPro / Tripod

• Capture clips, progress, or just memories from the session.
