I'm just startin out skateboarding but common sense tells me that something is wrong when my board wants to pull to the right. i do have new ruckus trucks which i havnt probably broken in. is that why ?? i have the king pin as tight as i probably can twist. so is the bushing just not broken in?? OR IS IT a bad wheel bearing. although they seem to spin just fine, they are new.

Are the kingpins facing each other? If they are not, then that is the problem.

You have your trucks too damn tight, try loosening them and see if it helps. Also make sure that the king pins are facing eachother.

i've never actually skated them like that, although i'd like to see what would happen.

Haha yeah, if you want to mess around with someone just reverse their trucks. Funny as hell. :D

Not broken in or you have them way too tight.

you should try new bushings like get krux bushings in your trucks theyre like already broken in...and LOSEN YOUR TRUCKs..no pro skaters skate tight trucks it may seem comfortable early but later on u want loose trucks..i used to skate tight trucks and that was the problem..your bushings are smooshed to one side cuz thats the way you leaned on them or something..or your truck is a lil crooked......just loosen your trucks and yea
