Fitting skateboard riser pads is a simple method to avoid wheel bite whilst skating. These risers are positioned between the trucks and the deck, offering additional clearance during your ride. Shock pads, on the other hand, are designed to absorb shocks and lessen vibrations.
The installation process for both risers and shock pads is identical and quite uncomplicated. After acquiring your risers and shock pads, you only need an Allen key and a skate tool to begin. This brief video will guide you through the necessary steps:
- To start, prepare your board by inserting the screws through the deck.
- Then, place the riser or shock pad ensuring the extra holes are directed outward.
- Proceed by mounting the truck onto the board.
- Hand-tighten the nuts.
- Following that, utilise a skate tool and an Allen key to firmly secure everything in place.
- Ensure the riser or shock pad remains undistorted.
Your riser is now successfully attached!
