Wedging. A somewhat elusive concept that has the capacity to
change the entire performance of a board. But what is it? What
does it do? How do you use it? Simply put, wedging is mounting
your trucks, so that the baseplates are NOT parallel to the
ground. Typically, most boards offered on the market come with
no wedging, see for example our Robot, Ibach, Maestro Mini, EQ,
and Boombox. This means that whatever trucks you put on them,
will perform exactly as they were built. Sometimes thats not
good enough though. Sometimes a rider wants to change the way
their trucks turn. Often a simple bushing swap is enough to
change the performance, but when you need an altogether
different turn, you go to the wedge. The turn characteristics of
all trucks are determined in part to the baseplate angle of the
truck. Most often this angle is around 45-50°. As the angle of
the truck increases, the turn radius decreases, meaning higher
angle, tighter turn. However, on RKP trucks, this causes the
inverse effect on the side-to-sid
