Why skaters like it
Gets linked to new skaters with an unbuilt deck or loose trucks who wonder if they need a shop to build it. Comments call it simple and say every skater should know how.
“Just built it yourself, it is all pretty simple. Only slightly difficult part is putting on the grip. Other than that you just screw the trucks on, put the bearings in the wheels and screw them on.”
