How to choose Trucks
Posted by ALI FIELD
The first thing you’ll need to know is the width of your deck, because you want your deck and truck axel width to match. Your trucks should lie flush with the edges of your deck and not overhang or be hidden completely by your deck. Too narrow of trucks will give you an unstable skateboard and too wide can cause interference with your foot when pushing. It can be pretty confusing when you’re trying to find trucks for your deck because your deck is measured in inches and your trucks have various measurement units depending on the brand. We made a handy chart so you can easily see what will be compatible.

Some argue that skateboarding is too free to be judged, while others think that extremely challenging and technical tricks make it worthy of the Olympic stage. We are not sure what to expect. Maybe we'll laugh, maybe we'll cry, who knows we may even enjoy it a little.
