How can you do a truckstand on a skateboard?

Answer 1

if you look on the grip tape ther are 8 screws, if you unscrew them then the trucks will come right off

or you can take it to were you got it and they will do it for free

depending on where you go

Answer 2

This is how i put on my griptape: Tools you will need: * Razor Blade * Screwdriver * One Skateboard Bolt 1. Unpeel the griptape. 2. Place the grip directly over the board but don't put it down yet. Hover that piece of grip over the board. Make sure that you are right over the board and gently (ever so slowly) rest it on the board.

3. Start applying pressure on the center of your board.

You want to rub the griptape into the board. Like you threw glue down and sprinkled sand on top of it. Rub it in. Press hard and work your way to both board edges. Move slowly to avoid air bubbles.

4. Work outwards towards the nose and tail. 5. Really concentrate on the edges and transitions.

You want to make sure that you get the grip to stick good around the edges. Also where the nose and tail begin (in that little valley), focus on those areas too.

6. Rub down the edges with a screwdriver.

Use a screwdriver to trace an outline of your board. Rub pretty hard (but not too hard). Scrape away!

7. When you are done it should look like this.

8. Take a razor blade and cut away the excess grip.

The best way to do this is to put you board on the edge of a table. Keep the edge of the board hanging off the table. Start at the nose. Cut into the grip until you hit the nose.

9. Keep the razor angled at 45 degree angle.

Look at the picture below. You want to keep the blade at a 45 degree angle while the top of the blade should slightly point in towards the board.

10. You are almost done!

11. Use your screwdriver to mash down the edges.

Run your screwdriver along the edge of the board. You want to "melt" the edge of the grip into your board so that it does not peel off when you skate. This is the same process as step number 6.

12. Grind hard.

Some pros and other skaters I know like to rub there board on the ground instead of using a screwdriver. Your choice.

13. Poke some holes.

Flip the board over and use a skateboard bolt or a small diameter screwdriver to poke holes in your grip so that you know where to put your hardware when it's time to mount your trucks.

How to put on your trucks!

# First, set the skateboard trucks over the holes in the skateboard deck(though if you are using riser pads put them down first and then put the trucks on top) # Next, using your thumb, push the skateboard screws down through the deck and through the holes in the skateboard trucks. # Using your fingers, put the hardware nuts on the ends of the screws, and turn them until you can't anymore. # Once all the nuts are in place, use your skate tools and tighten the screws the same way you removed them. You should have your new skateboard trucks freshly installed onto your skateboard deck, and be ready to ride!

Answer 3

If you are new at Skateboarding you should get a skateboard and maybe hold on to something like a wall or fence.

Depending on what is best for you, place either your left or right foot on the screws on the front part of the board, then the other foot on the back part of the skateboard.

Once you get your balance you can start giving it some speed by standing with your front foot on the screws and kicking up some speed with the back foot. Remember to keep most of your balance on the front foot while doing this.

When you've got the balance and you're rolling back and forth on the ground you should learn the Ollie which is to jump with the board. Which is elementary to perform any tricks.

To do an Ollie, place your front foot a little behind the front screws, place your back foot on the "tail" of the board, that's the bended part on the back side of the board. Bend down as if you are to jump normally, and as you use all your muscles to give you a bounce off the ground, kick your back foot down so the "tail" smashes into the ground then quickly lifting the foot up again, but at the same time lifting your front foot up and towards the "nose" of the board, that's the bended part in the front of the board. In mid-air pull your legs toward you as if you were crouching in the air, making he board come higher. Then as you fall towards the ground again, stretch your legs out to get a nice landing, but never stretch them out straight, always keep a small bend in your knees.

If performed correctly you will be able to do an Ollie, but you should look at some video tutorials at YouTube to see how it is done in real life.

Answer 4

trucks are all different. they vary in weight, design, and length. A kingpin is what makes it feel like you are barely doing anything to turn, or you have to lean a little weight. Independent trucks are the best in my opinion.

Answer 5

Put your left or right foot on the truck. Next you kick the wheel where your foot is. Then you need to jump up, wait for the board to spin and land. Finally, you land the "truckstand", if you dont land it, keep practicing and you will get the hang of it.

Answer 6

have the bushings of trucks facing in on the board
