Have you ever wanted to build your own skateboard?
Well, you need to have tools like a drill and a T-tool.
A T-tool is a special tool to use on your trucks.
You must put on grip tape, then screw on the trucks, and bolt on the wheels.
To start, you need to put the grip tape on your deck. To do this you need to stick the grip tape on by taking off the protective film and making sure to keep all the air pockets out. You do this by starting from the back and pushing down hard while you move your hand towards the end of the skateboard. Next, you need to cut off the extra tape that is hanging off the deck. To do this you must use a box cutter because they are easier to use than anything else to cut the tape. To finish you need to be careful of how you do this because it could really ruin your deck.
Additionally, you need to screw on the trucks. First, you must have a drill with eight screws about one inch long each. You then need to attach the trucks on the deck and screw them on. This is easier if you have another person. After that, you attach the washers so you can then attach the wheels. This can also ruin your skateboard if you are not careful.
Finally, it is time to put on the wheels. When you do this, you put the wheels on the trucks and then get the bearings so your wheels can spin. After that you use one of the sides on the T-tool and tighten to the right.
After that is done, make sure you can ride on it. If you cannot, then loosen the bolt. Now you have your wheels on, which are very important for riding a skateboard.
Overall, making a skateboard is ridiculously hard. You now know how to make a skateboard with grip tape, trucks, and wheels. Now that you know, try it, and see how well you do, and remember to keep shredding.
