[ignaxo12]

@zozozot hey dude i got a problem ...whenever i ride my skate it makes a rat-ish sound .

you know how to fix it?? plzzz reply.

[zozozot]

@ignaxo12

Hmmm, perhaps you should clean your bearings? Ar the balls in the right place?

[ignaxo12]

@zozozot thanks :D it worked

[SkaterJetro]

i have a squeky trucks and i can't fix it...i use skateboard

[skateboardtech]

@SkaterJetro What have you tried to fix it with? This is a common problem caused by the bushings. It can be from new bushings after the nice slick surface of new bushings has been rubbed away. Sometimes it's old bushings, because the oils in the urethane have evaporated out. It also happens with trucks that are super tight. What makes the noise is the friction from the bushing rubbing on the truck hanger. You can try tacking apart the truck and rubbing a drop or 2 of lube around each bushing.

[JediLuke1999]

my skateboard alway sleans over to the left without me on and with me on i cant gain speed and cant scate or if i do crash into a cirb or anything in my way

[mannaroth123]

@JediLuke1999 I had the same problem. Heard it could be a something wrong with the bushings. Replacing the trucks fixed it for me.

[666olivierhell]

I dont wanna take advice from a guy who doesnt even have the right truck size for his deck.

[MultiHobbySoldier]

[leotheloser]

@starboyam300 because hes so hawt

[metalxthomas]

@inhalesnshreddin

why does it matter?

[HitsWithStyxx]

@inhalesnshreddin

Maybe because he can skate well enough that he doesn't break them every few weeks.

Or maybe he can MAINTAIN his skateboards.

Hm....

Maybe he should do some videos to let us know how to maintain a skateboard....

OH WAIT

[MrCigaweed]

[TheMike894ftw]

My Skateboard turns slightly Left just a lil bit if i push it without me on it

it turns left n right pretty good i guess please help

[belrock1]

can leaving your board in the rain affect anything?

[crash9551]

yes!! never leave it in the rain or even get it wet for that matter. it will get waterlogged and break much easier.

[belrock1]

lmao thanks man :) I got a new board last week, went out in the rain on it and the nose snapped off yesterday lol Thanks for the reply and hopefully my next board will live over a week :P

[IronMaiden6226]

And it can get bent, like my mates.

his board wont stop turning left now

[TheAcdc148]

@crash9551 andalso if you dont get waterlogged for some reason your bearings will rust

[myzone98]

@crash9551 Yh every time iv been skating another way of making sure ur board is still good clean the bearings clean wheels if ur trucks have become loose tighten them a little :)

[razorgrand]

@crash9551 actually i had a board that i left out for months in the rain and i was never could break it

[viperforce305]

[helloimcalledbob]

lol today my board snapped because i found a huge crack and also my bearings were worn out !!

[cahurd23]

enjoi all the way baybay

[PeterSmuczak]

HOW CAN YOUR TRUCKS FALL OFF FROM PRESSURE CRACKS... this guy is dumb.

[zeroskater7207]

it can crack through the bottom of the truck and like break that whole area off but obviously its very unlikely

[408mastamind]

if the wood cracks around the screws then they become loose and the trucks can fall off

[makikiukas]

Girl no questions asked! By the the way Foyle92 girl and choc are made in usa but enjoi is made in china,Dwindle distribution, not sure about krooked,though.

And all brand decks are made from canadian maple.

[Foyle92]

hahaha yeah boi!

[alleyezon50cent]

Plan B

[sickmoocow22]

[guitartotee]

[spikeboy101]

[chivazdd]

wat do you mean by pushing the bushings inward becuz my truck is all crooked and its nbalanced and it turn the board left

[guitaraddict00101]

holy crap dude...settle down

[FlatFace182]

Dude, my truck came off and I do not know how to put them on correctley. And they are alen key renches.

[crackedboardsproject]

[RocketCows]

[hotemoguy56]

[legok1d]

[kamilrulez]

dud u got 148 more vids since like 3 hours ago!

[hatenskate]

lol

[kamilrulez]

hello any1? help me

when i ride my skateboard it turns a little to the left. and i dont do that what should i do?

[kamilrulez]

hello?!?!?!!?!? help meeee

[armoredchicken]

check the bearings. if one side spins slower then ul drift. if u can even out both sides having one slow bearing it can work a bit better(though not perfect)

also check the bushings. if u used them too long or. . . like i once did. put wd40 on them to stop them creeking cuz it was annoying, they may be dissolved or worn down. and they rarely wear evenly. also check if u bolted the trucks down correctly. sometimes u can bolt them crooked so the truck aims some other direction other then foward

[froogledan]

do you mean when your pushing or when you have both feet on? either way make sure your feet are in the middle, it has also happened to me, i discovered 1 of the bearings on 1 wheel was fucked so that wheel was spinning slower therefore slowing down 1 side so you just will go round in circles

[atalayapark]

mabye you've tightened your sk8board trucks 2much.

[enjoisk8ter12]

get new hardwear, bearings

[kamilrulez]

when i ride my skateboard it turns a little to the left. and i dont do that what should i do?

[zabuza1321]

[maryahome]

[WolfmanAWS]

take the bearings out of your wheels and check to make sure that they are still together or not too dirty.

[RTdeluxe]
