Pro Skater’s Guide to Loose Trucks | Harder, but better
I picked up my friends skate the other day and no joke you couldn’t move the trucks. I was shocked. Every skater has their own truck formula and some take it to the loose extreme. No bushings. Whatever.
Skating really loose trucks requires good balance, but you also need some creativity. Getting them really loose is pushing your trucks beyond what they were designed for. We tracked down some pros (and an am) who are known for skating them loose to ask how they’ve tweaked their setups to make it work. They all ride for different truck brands and have different methods for loosening them up, so you’ve got some options if you want to give it a try on your board (or you’ve got a bunch of new excuses to use when you can’t land a trick).
Jenkem got some words from Daewan Song, Frank Gerwer, Nestor Judkins, Max Palmer, and Matt Rodriguez to get some words on going super loosey.
