Putting together a Skateboard

So you just ordered your complete from the internet. It arrives, and you have no clue where all this goes. Well this guide will help you do it, and do it right.
Before we can even get started you need to make sure you have all the right parts to do it. So your going to need a deck, a pair of trucks,a set of four wheels,8 bearings,One sheet of grip,Hardware(8 bolts and nuts). Of course to put it together your going to need tools. Your going to need a file knife,Screwdriver, or if you have allen bolts an allen wrench, and of course a socket wrench to bolt those wheels on.

Step One-Gather all your tools and materials needed to put this together, and put them in an open and clean workspace.

you either have soft bushings and need to get harder ones ($2-$6), tighten the trucks, or you have a wal-mart brand...
