Skateboard Leaning Problem
It’s a common problem when a worn out skateboard tends to lean to one side and stay there. Many skateboarders have confirmed of such a problem, and they say that you have to “stomp on the skateboard” to get it back to the normal position. This originally occurs when you build a brand new skateboard from scratch, or had someone build the skateboard for you. There’s an easy fix for this type of problem, so don’t think your skateboard is broken. This can be caused from a few problems that I’m going to list below:
Trucks Not Parallel
This is a common problem caused by the missing balance between the trucks. In order for your skateboard to stand straight, the trucks have to be perfectly parallel to each other. This may often be a problem when you build your own skateboard from scratch, as you may have accidentally placed the trucks a little unparalleled from each other. To fix this problem, try loosening the trucks from the board, turn them to the side a little bit to match the other truck, and screw it back together.
Tightened New Board
When you first get your new board, you’re not supposed to tighten the trucks until they break in. If you did in fact tighten your trucks because you thought they were too lose, that could be the reason for this problem. I suggest that you loosen up your trucks a little bit, and ride them for a few days. Then, tighten them back and see what happens.
One of these problems should fix your truck from leaning to one side and staying there.
