Answer 1

Your kingpin bushings may need to be adjusted/replaced. This is normal maintenance and easy to do. Here is a link with detailed instructions on bushing maintenance and replacement. Good luck...

Answer 2

Change the polymer bushings to a less flexible bushing. OR. go to an auto accessory chop, buy the sprayon bedliner coating cans and coat the bottom side of your board with the material.

Answer 3

My ex-husband used to take the trucks off his and put a few layers of fiberglass over the whole thing...But I don't know if it's the right way to do it, you might want to research it. Seemed to work okay for him though.

Answer 4

I like the new titanium concrete skateboards. They are really sturdy, but a little hard to turn.
