Skateboard Deck Bolts
Skateboard Deck Bolts
The hardware connecting your deck to trucks might seem boring until you're picking yourself up off the pavement because some cheap bolt decided to snap mid-trick. What started as crude mounting systems on first-generation boards evolved into today's engineered fasteners that can survive the kind of punishment that would destroy most machinery. Independent Truck Company, founded in 1978, helped standardize bolt patterns as part of their obsession with precision engineering every component of your setup. Quality deck bolts prevent those catastrophic failures that can turn a perfect session into a hospital visit. Modern bolt technology borrows from aerospace and automotive applications, creating fasteners that maintain integrity through impacts that would make crash test dummies nervous.
