How often should I tighten the trucks?

Check and tighten your trucks regularly, especially after a few rides. Adjust as needed for your preferred turning responsiveness.

Can I use this board for downhill racing?

The Arbor Flagship Axis 40 is not designed for downhill racing. It's best suited for mellow downhill, cruising, and commuting.

How do I maintain the wood finish?

Clean the deck with a damp cloth and avoid exposure to direct sunlight. You can apply a wood sealant for added protection.

How do I know if the wheels need replacing?

Troubleshooting

Wheels are not rolling smoothly.

Clean the bearings with a bearing cleaner or replace the bearings if they are damaged.

The board feels unstable.

Tighten the truck nuts or adjust the bushings to increase stability. Check for any loose parts.

Deck gets wet and splinters.

Dry the deck completely after riding in wet conditions. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture and consider applying a wood sealant.
