    Default turning without me

    i was curious if anybody knows why this happens: on both my boards one with randall 2 the other seismics and my brothers and friends if we push the board by itself they all turn to the toe side not a lot but a little.we are all goofy so it is left so i dont know if it is the same for regular footers. this is a bullshit question i was wondering if anybody knows why this happens.
    I\'ll go first...

    the bolt holes could be slightly miss drilled, which is not to uncommon, also take into consideration the shape of a road it has some curvature dropping from the center out usally, also the board could not be completely centering by itself

    The only competition in life is yourself, but be warned it loves to throw challenges in your face, just to make it a fun experience..

    my park board never tracks in a straight line if I just push it by itself. I think it comes from the fact that your weight isn't balanced directly over the bushings so the bushings get quashed and or deformed from riding and don't return it their original shape. if when you ride it it goes straight don't worry about it too much. it you are feeling like you have to constantly correct your steering to overcome the turning feeling then something might be wrong
