Our decks are shipped partially assembled. Shipping this way saves on packaging and weight. The assembly is straight forward with industry standard hardware and tools. We believe skaters should be familiar with the assembly of their decks. Assembly may include attaching trucks to brackets (four screws/nuts), brackets to decks (four screws/nuts), and wheels to trucks (one nut). If you are a unfamiliar with the assembly process there is a wealth of information on the web, and also local skate shops may be of assistance.
