Checking and Setting up your ride

Before riding, take the time to learn how the components of your ride should be set up and checked.

Always check for correctly fastened components and damage.

Do not ride equipment with loose, broken or cracked components.

Make sure any grip tape is secure.

Make sure equipment  is suitable for your size and weight. Set up your equipment to suit your weight and ensure the correct function is checked. On skateboards, check for wheel-bite and eliminate it.  Wheel-bite is when the wheels rub against the underside of the deck when leaning - it can stop your board and cause you to fall. Wheel-bite can happen if your trucks are too loose. You might choose to fit harder bushings. You might want to fit riser pads. If riser pads are added, make sure your bolts are long enough to fit correctly.

Wheels and bearings

Bearings can be gently removed using a bearing press tool. Do not hit the bearings to remove them – you will damage them. New bearings will be coated with a thick and sticky factory grease. Learn how to clean your bearings and apply speed cream, and do this whenever needed.

When you refit a wheel, ensure you have learned the correct procedure and you have the necessary components. On scooters use thread locker and tighten the screws thoroughly. On skateboards do up the wheel nut to full tightness and then ease of a quarter of a turn at a time only, until your wheel spins fast. Make sure you can see threaded bar protruding at least 3mm through your wheel nut, and that the nylon locking mechanism of your nut is stopping the nuts from undoing during use. Wheel nuts must be replaced if the nylon inside is wearing out.

Skateboards and Skateboard decks

You have 14 days to inspect and return skateboards and skateboard decks, in unused condition, and in the same condition in which they were sold. We cannot accept back goods that have been assembled, gripped, ridden or damaged by customers.  Goods must be returned in re-sellable condition. Skateboard decks can snap if landed upon heavily, or can splinter or dent on impact, decals can be rubbed or scratched off, or can peel or flake with varying humidities and riding conditions,therefore manufacturer warranties will only cover for faulty manufacturing. We may offer goods at a discounted price if we have identified marks or defects. Discounted decks, including those on some of our discounted skateboards, have discounts applied because there are marks or scrapes on the deck,  uneven wood or the decal, faults in the decals, or faults or marks on the griptape or it's edge cuts. If an item is described as discounted, please read the details on the website for that item, and check the details in the photographs. Customers in the shop can ask an assistant to point out the reasons for discounts. Customers agree that if they buy goods at the disocunted price, they have satifsfied themselves that they know and accept the reasons for the discount, and they wish to purchase at the discounted price. Customers still have the right to return the item in the same and unused condition as it was sold, within 14 days, and may be refunded the amount paid, even if it is a discounted item.

Squeaking when riding or turning on a skateboard

This is perfectly normal. The squeaking usually comes from the pivot cup in your trucks. It is the insert in between the hangar and the baseplate. Quick fixes for the squeak can be; cleaning the pivot cup, or inserting a small amount of paraffin wax shavings, or soap into the pivot cup – this reduces the friction and can stop the squeak.

The 14 day Inspection period

Use the Warranty information below to see if any found defects are covered. If during the Inspection Period (within 14 days of receipt of the Goods), the Goods are found to be defective, you must inform us within the Inspection Period of such defect. We will arrange for collection of such Goods or ask you to return the Goods to us at our cost and once we have checked that the Goods are faulty, we will in consultation with you: Replace the Goods; or Repair the Goods; or Provide you with a full refund for those defective Goods.

Under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 if you purchase Goods from us via our catalogue or on the Site and you are a UK/EU consumer, you are able to cancel your order with us for any reason or no reason at all within fourteen (14) days following receipt of your Goods by providing us with notice. Your rights of cancellation are in addition to your other rights of cancellation set out in these Conditions. Goods should be returned to us as soon as reasonably practicable but in no event later than fourteen (14) days after your notification to us that you wish to cancel your order.

Defects

If your item is defective, we will do our best to get you back on your wheels! If you believe something is defective with your product, but you are not entirely sure what the issue is, contact us so we can run you through a few steps to help solve your problem. At times, issues are small and fixable with a few quick adjustments.

On skateboards, if all four wheels do not touch the ground on your new board you will first need to check your truck tightness, and check for uneven or damaged bushings. This is a common problem. Rarely, a deck may be warped, in which case it will need returning in unused condition.

Returns and refunds in the case of Shortages, damage and order errors

If there are shortages or damages to the Goods you receive which have occurred whilst in transit, or there is any other error with your order (such as you have received the wrong product), you must notify us within 14 days of receipt of your delivery (the "Inspection Period"), giving us full details of any such shortages, damages or errors with the Goods or your order. You must promptly return any damaged Goods or Goods received in error to us together with all packaging. We will reimburse you for the postage costs incurred in returning such Goods. This is best done by contacting us for a shipping label. Where we accept that there has been damage in transit, a shortage or an error in the Goods dispatched, we shall make up any shortfall, error or damage to your order free of charge as soon as reasonably possible, or organise a refund.  After the Inspection Period has expired, you will be deemed to have accepted the Goods and any attempt to return the Goods after this time pursuant to this clause will be rejected by us.
