I'm not really sure where to post this, but I figured since I'm a beginner, this would be the best place for it. Last night a friend and I were skating, and I noticed that while I'm riding, the board turns to the right on it's own. (I'm goofy). So I was thinking, maybe I was just leaning that way without knowing it, so I got off the board and let it roll on its own. The board still curved to the right so I'm pretty sure I wasn't the one causing it to turn. Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks.

every single beginner asks this, basically.
its your trucks/bushings. break them in (skate them for a while, turning and stuff) and itll get better. or buy new ones.. like bones bushings, doh dohs, whatever.
and if your trucks are tight, its easier for them to stick a certain way.. loosen up if thats the case.

I'm not sure if this fixes your problem but it fixes another problem you might come across. Take your trucks apart (check the tune ups section on the rr homepage), and put a drop of oil in the pivot cups to stop or prevent your trucks from squeking. It also makes your trucks soooo much smoother.
