do you have to put risers on the trucks? please answer

[CaliforniaGirlsSkate]

@AbsolutProdigy - No. Risers are not required. They are optional. Riser pads are designed to reduce wheelbite if you carve and flow a lot. But one of the best carving/flowing skaters I know doesn't use them.

I accidentally put the grip tape over the bolts and I don't know where they are hiding

[CaliforniaGirlsSkate]

@MsSweetgreenpea - Just get a nail and poke through the griptape from the holes on the graphic-side.

@CaliforniaGirlsSkate dont do that, fresh bushings will alway be stiff and become crooked, you need to wear them it can take up to a month.... trick is before setting the mup put the bushings in boiling water as it will soften for you so it takes like an hour to wear them in.

@PunkTail95 - If a bushing is lopsided, just reseat it. Once you watch the video, you'll see how simple the mechanics of trucks are. There aren't many things that can go wrong and the fixes are quite simple once you see the parts.

@PunkTail95 - If the bushings are crooked, just disassemble the truck and reseat the bushings and hangar. But watch the video first, so you see how they go together.

@CaliforniaGirlsSkate Ok, thx you a lot, and how I can resolve the problem?

[CaliforniaGirlsSkate]

@PunkTail95 - Look at the video "dhbNCgheF0w" and it shows all the parts of a truck. Sounds like one of your bushings might be lopsided.
