How to set up a skateboard

| ellevwarne

Are you ready to shred? And start skateboarding? The first step to that is to set up a skateboard. This tutorial will show you a step by step for setting up a skateboard.

What you will be needing is trucks, wheels, griptape, board, bearings, hardware, a sk8 tool, a screwdriver, rails are optional
First thing to do it put the griptape on slowly
Now get the screwdriver and scrape the outline of the board
Then get a razor and cut the extra griptape
pull it off
Get a screwdriver and poke the holes for the screws
put the screws in
The trick to attach the trucks are putting the holes on the trucks then hand tighten the nuts then later make sure they are secure.
Now put the bearing on both sides of the wheels (use the trucks to help you get them in) Now that you have done that step of the wheels put a washer which is a flat circle on the bottom of the truck and then place the wheel on the truck and place another washer on top of the wheel. Now put a nut on top of the wheel and use a sk8 tool to tighten it.
Tighten it to the right but not to tight because your wheel will not roll. Test your wheel for the right roll.
Now you are done you set up a skateboard
