Mann what the hell??

[kempskiiz]

I just got new tensors and a baker board and the deck may be warped but the problem is that when its on the ground 3 wheels are touching the surface and 1 is in the air. The only way i can kind of solve it is by loosing the trucks but i dont like to skate too loose..

[luckysk8er1991]

umm... ok?...

[J-Eazy]

Loose = Good...

Tight = Too easy

[MeLike2Skate]

do whatever you want.
tight trucks r for t3h n00bz, l0l.

[kempskiiz]

Well that wasn't really my question bro's, its that one wheel is always off the ground when im not on the board? Is it because i need to work in the trucks or?

[skizzate]

Yeah basically. They're fine because I really doubt your shit would be warped or bent already. My new indys do that too, like if I lean one way then get off the board, my shit will be all unlevel. They just need to be worked in.

Dude, It's just your bushings. My board
used to do that, but now it doesn't, two
weeks later. As long as it's not like that
when you ride, it should be chill.

Ride it loose man like a sluts puss

[China Skate]

Yeah what I like to do whenever I get a new board or trucks is to turn the deck over and flex out the deck by stepping on it, or constantly jumping left and right ontop of the board (griptape side) to 'break in' my trucks.

[Griptape Flip]

Its your bushings, they'll break in the more you skate it bro.

[AlmostJeff]

Yeah just break in the bushings...and I wasn't aware that tight trucks are for people just starting to skate only, guess I missed out on that fad?

[luckysk8er1991]

do whatever you want.
tight trucks r for t3h n00bz, l0l.

ahahaha, im better than you and all your friends, and i skate hella tight trucks.

[kempskiiz]

thanks dudes, yea i like it a bit loose i guess:-3:

[please]

ahahaha, im better than you and all your friends, and i skate hella tight trucks.

I sense a bitch fight



:-3:

And yeah loose is the way forward :)

[Adioman2009]

Its all personal preference both kickass only loose breaks in trucks better so i would say ride it loose for a little and if you dont like loose switch it to tight or medium once they are broken in. I like medium myself cause i like maneuverability and stability.

[please]

If you have trucks too tight, if you land at an angle then your board won't be able to move enough to disperse the energy, therefore the energy will still be left there and it will make you jump off the board or just full on slam. Trucks too loose will help you when landing giving you more manouvrebility (sp?). But again, it's all preference :-3:

[TrAnCe]

alot of trucks do that when they're new. just give it a while for the bushings to get broken in.

[MeLike2Skate]

Ride it loose man like a sluts puss
hell yeah man.

[Greenday]

Your trucks are still new, give it some time for your bushings to break in. If you really want to be sure that its not your board take your trucks off and lay your deck on a flat surface to see if its warped or not

[shortty]

gotta break in the bushings

[Camper_J]

I have my Trucks pretty tight, and I'm decent at least. I like to do a lot of Freestyle, this includes Primos, and To-Rails so that's my main reason. As for which is better, I've seen some awsome loose skaters and some awesome tight skaters (Not saying I'm one of them). It's all personal Pref.

Which makes me wonder, Skating is all about going against the tide, and being yourself, expressing yourself and having fun at the same time. At least that's it's roots, so it kinda saddens me to see that most of the community has turned into pretty much the same thing that it broke off from. I go to the skate park and people used to make fun of me because I did Freestyle and was Asian, and I was just thinking in my head "this isn't what skating was supposed to be about" eh just saddens me so take what you will from that.
