Folding Skateboard!

Step 4Attach the trucks to the deck

Attach the trucks to the deck
1. Screw the trucks onto the deck
If your deck was too thick for the original screws like mine was, use longer screws.

*****If you're willing, fix it so that the skateboard folds flat on top of itself becuase the wheels fold onto eahc other on mine...

also, i just want you guys to know, it's not my fault if you guys fall and hurt yourself or if the hinges don't hold your weight (i made this for a teenager about my weight...which is small), or if the wheels are so smooth the board flies out from under you, this was a project inspired by..something and is good for joyriding...

i'd suggest putting the wheels out further (or maybe not, it might put more pressure on the hinges), or cutting off the long ends of the board so that the board has less chance of folding underneath you.
maybe to stop, you could simply step closer to the edge of the board so it folds in and drags the end on the ground. haha whatever

ride safely and don't do anything dumb. <3 alvincredible.
