How to Line Up Trucks on a Skateboard

Video Transcript

"Hi my name is Ryder Mackey, and I'm here today with Expert Village, and today I'm going to talk about assembling your skateboard, once you have all the parts. The first thing you want to do with the trucks, is make sure that the bolt is facing inside towards the middle of your skateboard. And you want to line up the holes on the trucks with the holes on your skateboard, there's four holes. Now I can't turn anymore, so I'm going to take my tool use the small part of the socket wrench, and continue screwing this in. As I'm screwing this in I'm uh, I'm going to be holding my screw on this side in, in place, so it doesn't turn with my bolt. Uh we're going to finish screwing this in, get it nice and snug on there. Feels pretty tight, so I'm going to line it up, take another screw another bolt and do the same thing. Most people like to work diagonally I've done one right here so I'm going to screw in another one diagonally right here. This helps hold the trucks in place better so that they stay lined up."
