Bit of a problem

[Kake Jelly]

hey guys, when ever i push my bored it veers off to one side, so i picked it up and had a look at the truck and they lean a bit to one side, would replacing the bushings fix this?

[Codered060]

just tighten the nut on your truck(s).

Don't let the board skate you...Skate the board....hahahhahahahahahaha but seriously.

[Kake Jelly]

lol yeh i know its not a problem when im skateing id just prefer it to be right, and codered that nuts were as tight as they could go and it was still off, i think i may have had them too tight

[Element 4 life]

try changing the bushing if nothing get better get a new set of trucks

[NomaD]

Loosen it just a bit. It's ok to have a board that moves to one side as long as you have no trouble when you are on it. I had the same problem when i was a beginner so i asked Kenny Reed and he rode my board and said it's normal and his board is also the same.

[Kake Jelly]

my trucks are pretty loose now, but one of them still leans so ill just try some new bushings, thanks for the replies :)

[graphix]

tighen the trucks some. and flip the board around to skate(nose to tail.) that will help correct the problem by wearing the other sides of the bushins

[bmmetcalf]

Are the bushings new? Mine tend to do that when thier new but when you break them in then tighten or loose them how you want.

[kcirtap]

check out softer bushings , they let you control the board more
bmmetcalf, you have been replied

im on the prowl, watch your back

[StevoElSupremo]

ye its probably ur bushings or ur baseplate or hanger is cracked?

[JesusRodeAFlip]

Do you push mongo?

[mcwattersm]

Smack the hangar of the truck on a curb, so the nose (or tail) is going straight down. And the bottom off the board is rubbing aginst the curb. Hit hard and problem solved.

[crkptsnl]

What about your pivot cups, shit why do i keep hearing people that have this problem well replace them because they might be squashed

[SlimJim_junky]

Just like... Rotate your bushings about 90 degrees. See if that helps.

[Kake Jelly]

okie thanks for the replies guys :)

The little bolt on the bottom of the truck is called the Kingpin Nut, you take said Kingpin nut off, and take off the old bushings, and the Pivot cups. You replace said old bushings with new bushings, re-attach said new bushings in order, with Pivot cups, tighten kingpin nut, and skate in straight line. =)

You may just be putting your foot on one side of the deck, then putting all of your weight on it so it gos off to the side.

[Kake Jelly]

nah, it veered of when i wasnt on the deck and pushed.. well i gotta get new trucks anyway now since i just broke one

[punkerfuk]

your all wrong! go out and skate f*ck it!

[mcwattersm]

Go screw an granny.

[JoeyKovacs]

Mcwattersm, I truly am dissapointed in that post. You were grammatically incorrect :O

The Correct Term for Go Screw ___ Granny is: Go Screw __a___ Granny

not: Go Screw __an__ Granny.

Although, an, would work if you typed: Go screw an elderly woman.

[mcwattersm]

Aw, shit. No wonder im failing english.

[snow_skate]

lmfao! i have the same prob. try switching them around 180 degrees.

dude how can you fail english? you speak and spell it.

[mcwattersm]

It was a joke. And besides, i dont know what grade you are in, we dont have spelling test any more.

[isk8darkstar]

your all wrong! go out and skate f*ck it!
