Is it better to ride loose skateboard trucks?

Answer 1

For loosening your trucks, you can turn easier and avoid obstacles, but you will get speed wobbles when you get going fast, and that can make you fall, and it's harder to land air tricks because the trucks will automatically wobble on impact.

For tightening your trucks, you can't turn as fast, but makes for you to be more stable with speed and you can land tricks easier.


Hope this helped!

Answer 2

yes, because most of the boards may break a truck by landing primos or kickflips or any tricks and when riding the trucks seem to be crooked just like a tech deck just keep out of water for no rust and wd40 is a good product for smooth riding.

Answer 3

For beginners, it sometimes is better to have looser trucks, and as you get better you should tighten them up. The only way to turn and do tricks correctly is to have tight trucks. It may feel awkward at first, this is what the professionals do.

Answer 4

Voodoo 13: I think you mean loose or tight trucks.. wheels need to be tight all of the time otherwise they'll eventually fall off the bearings or truck.. How loose or tight the Trucks are is all how you ride and is specific to you.. so either can be better -or- worse depending on the rider.. I've always felt that tighter on ramps was better and a little loose was better on the street.. but this is my opinion.

Answer 5

Not if you like to go fast.

Answer 6

tight! if your doing tricks!
