"Hi my name is Ryder Mackey and I'm here with Expert Village, and I'm here to talk to you about assembling your trucks to your skateboard. Um if you notice on most trucks, on the inside where the bolt is, which you always want to have facing toward the middle of your skateboard. There's going to be two holes, right here, and right here. On the other side however, the outside of your trucks, you?re going to have four holes. One here, one there, one there, and one right there. What these what there's an extra set for is depending on how apart the holes on your skateboard are. These are fairly close together so it will let me use the two inside wholes, this one and this one on my trucks to use for here. Um so I'm going to line that up real good. Take a screw and a bolt, I'm going to put the screw through, oops sorry. Through my skateboard and through the correct hole on my truck. Once I've done that I'm going to take my bolt and I'm going to get it started here with my hand on the screw. While holding the screw in place with my thumb on the other side of the skateboard."
