How to Assemble a Custom Skateboard

A custom skateboard is the only way to go if you want a personal setup with all the right parts. Here in this quick video guide, Jonas shows us how to assemble a complete skateboard in a jiffy.

1. Start by taking the foil, the non-sticky part off
2. Then put the griptape on the deck (start at the end and work your way up)
3. Scratch the griptape with an Allen key or a screwdriver
4. Use a box knife to cut the excess off the griptape - always cut from below in a ~ 45° angle
5. Use the rough side of the griptape remains to sand the edges
6. Use the Allen key or a screwdriver to make holes in the griptape where the bolts will go through
7. Put the bolts into the holes
8. Place the trucks onto the four bolts
9. Screw on the locking nuts and tighten them in a cross-diagonal pattern
10. Repeat the steps for the other truck
11. Use the truck axle to install the wheel bearings
12. Make sure to a place the speed rings on the top and bottom
