wheels touching deck

[inthemiX]

not sure why this happens and if its normal.. but I just started skateboarding and built my board and I see wheel marks on the deck. Is this a bad thing? Somebody fill me in please :). I can also post up my setup and if somebody can point out where I went wrong.. thanks haha.

it is somewhat bad, it can stop you if you go too fast, and turn. its called wheelbite, whne you turn, if your wheels scrape your deck. it can be fixed by using a wrench or skatetool, and tightening up the kingpin, the nut in the middle, of your trucks
