Safety First Inspect your gear each time before you skate to ensure it is in proper working order. Be sure to wear your helmet and other protective gear as needed
Maintenance The most basic maintenance that should be done to keep your Trucks performing safely and at a high level is to frequently change your kingpins and bushings Slalom and LDP Trucks are particularly prone to kingpin stress due to the high frequency turning that they undergo and those kingpins should be swapped out regularly. Downhill and freeride Trucks would also benefit from a periodic kingpin swap to keep them performing at there highest level and to ensure safety You can never do this simple maintenance item to often so it's better to error on the side of being safe
