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

  • @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.

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

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