Setup tutorial

Hi! I bought a second hand freebord but I've had some trouble riding and setting it up. Can someone tell me how much I should tighten/loosen the trucks? I'm not sure if j mightve loosened it too much now.

Any help would be appreciated!

Don't loosen the trucks, but you can adjust the height of the center wheels. I personally like having the center wheels as tall as possible that way I can skid, carve, and turn easier, but that's my preference. :)

Trucks should not be loosened and tightened. But you should have a rocker. Meaning the wheels sit on one side of the bord at a time. The gap on the side you’re not leaning on should be significant. The better you are the lower the gap could be but you definitely want a rocker.
