Skateboard Trucks

Trucks decide how your board turns and how it sits on a grind. Height affects wheelbite and pop timing. Hanger width should match your deck so lock ins feel centered and landings roll away clean. Bushings matter. Fresh ones break in fast. Dead ones make a good setup feel wrong. You do not need a chart. You need a sense of where you skate and what feels right under your feet.

The history is steady. Builders refine shapes and materials, shaving weight without losing strength where it counts. Street trucks should take a rail hit, handle ledges without chatter, and track straight on crust. Set your hardware tight, watch axle slip, and rotate when grooves get deep. The result is simple. A board that turns when you ask and shuts up when you land.
