    Default Haha did somethings stupid.

    I really don't know what I was thinking, but I accidentally mounted my trucks backwards (pin facing in) last night. Hopped on my board this morning, leaned left to dodge a car, board turned right cuz of the improper mounting.

    Wow that could have been deadly!

    Well luckily I tend to lean as I push off (a bad habit that probably saved me from serious injury today), so right away I wobbled off the board and jogged after it. It took two more tries before I figured out the problem.

    Yeah...I did that, too, on the first set of trucks I ever mounted. It has to do with how the truck rotates around the kingpin. (I got super curious after I did it and took my trucks apart to figure out how they worked!)
    If Jack Bauer were a skateboard, he'd be a homemade V-lam mini made from exotic woods on Original trucks: custom built, high-end, old school, no extras, straight up killing machine.
