Guidance on Fitting Skateboard Risers and Shock Pads

Adding riser pads to your skateboard is a simple method to avoid the incidence of wheel bite while skating. These risers are placed between the trucks and the deck, offering you extra height and space. Skateboard shock pads, on the other hand, serve to cushion impacts and minimise vibrations.

Both risers and shock pads are fitted in the same manner, and the process is uncomplicated. With your risers and shock pads in hand, you'll just need an Allen key and a skate tool to proceed. This concise video will guide you through the required steps:

1. Initially, prepare your skateboard by inserting the screws through the deck.
2. Subsequently, place the riser/shock pad ensuring the additional holes are facing outward.
3. Then, attach the truck onto the board.
4. Fasten the nuts using your fingers.
5. After that, employ a skate tool and an Allen key to securely tighten everything.
6. Ensure that the riser or shock pad remains in its proper shape.

Your riser has now been successfully mounted!
