How to set up an LDP skateboard / longboard - Part 4 - The JIGGLE test - pavedwave.org

Check for wheelbite before taking the board on the road. Push the wheels to max turn and check for clearance.

The "jiggle" test is done by either pushing the wheel to max turn by hand, then letting it go, or else by hitting the wheel with your fist or palm. The truck should SNAP back to the middle and JIGGLE a little bit.

Rear truck should have harder duro bushings, this is where you generate most of your forward moving power.

Front truck should turn easy but not be overly loose -- rebound is the key.

@SuperWappie - typically bennett front tracker or seismic rear, wheels in 75mm range. Google "pavedwave forum" and read up on lots of other peoples setups for fine tuning. very helpful crew there!

Those bushing duros for any weight class or what your weight class requires?

@ThatReptileDude - i'm 165lbs and run medium to light up front and pretty hard bushings in back, regardless of bushing brand (running RipTides at the moment). lots of personal preference comes into play with bushings!
