Tightening or Loosening Trucks to Adjust Carving/Riding Style
- Skate tool or 9/16″ Wrench or socket
Tightening or loosening your trucks will give any rider the advantage of adjusting your board to ride on any type of terrain or to your individual riding style. Loosening the trucks will make sharp cornering easier and is recommended for flatland riding. Tightening the trucks will make the turing less responsive but is excellent for downhill riding to prevent speed wobbles.
