    Great tutorial for beginners! I would add that making incremental changes to the trucks--say a quarter turn, or even less like 1/6 of a turn since the nut is six-sided--is better for dialing in the turning to one's personal preference and comfort. I personally leave the flat side of the nut parallel with the axle, so that there is less hang-up and friction during grinds, and when it does get ground down you are still able to get a socket on for future adjustment. And for beginners, it is advisable to start a little stiffer, but work towards looser trucks as you build confidence and stability so that you achieve maximum performance and ride-ability.

Now at 19, I got my second board ever and am going to try to change the wheels-something I never did in the lifespan of my last one. Thank you for such an easy to understand video, I’m maybe a few years late on learning this but its nice to know not everybody is as scary as 8 year old me maybe thought!

    1:59 this has always been a question of mine: the wheels/bearings come with those little washers, so why can't you tighten them up pretty good and just let the bearing do it's job? It always seems like guys get that slight side to side play which essentially means the inside of the bearing is just spinning on the axle instead of the little balls inside doing their job.

  • @misscrabstick

    Yes, skatehut don't like using spacers, spacers support the inner races so the axle nut can actually be tightened as it should be, without a spacer if you tighten the nut the bearings bind up because they are pulled towards each other, as an engineer a roller bearing set up without a spacer is completely triggering to me.
