When selecting trucks for your skateboard, there are several key factors to consider to ensure a smooth and enjoyable ride. The size, width, and material of the trucks will all impact the performance of your skateboard, so it’s important to choose wisely.
The size of the trucks is typically measured by the axle width, which is the distance between the two axles. The axle width should be slightly narrower than the width of your skateboard deck. This will provide stability and prevent the wheels from wobbling. The width of the trucks will also affect the turning radius of your skateboard; wider trucks will make it easier to turn, while narrower trucks will provide more stability.
