Method Skateboards FAQs

Q: Why do you have both NC angled axle trucks and ZC straight axle trucks?

The design of the NC trucks uses negative camber angled axles to achieve an extreme cutting and carving ability. The advanced technology king pin to hanger pivot location inside the truck forces a fluid flow and exaggerated roll axis. It’s this combination that gives Method Skateboards its extreme ability to cut and carve. The ZC or Zero Camber truck uses the same pivot technology to provide equally impressive performance with regular profile wheels.

Q: Do I need to know how to ride a skateboard to ride a Method Skateboard?

No, you don’t. Learning how to ride a Method Skateboard is the same as learning how to ride an old technology traditional skateboard. Learning to cut hard on a Method board is natural. You will cut harder, faster and smoother than you ever have before on your first try.

Q: Do Method Skateboards ride different than any other board?

All Method boards have enhanced turning capabilities and feel extremely natural. If you can ride a traditional Skateboard, Longboard or Cruiserboard you can ride a Method board. First thing you will notice is the smooth transition into a turn and the surge coming out of the turn. And you won’t believe how hard you can cut!

Q: How do Method Skateboards work?

Method Skateboards have been in development for half a decade and represent the most innovative design to hit the market in over 20 years. The Method NC truck works under the same basic principles as most Skateboards trucks. However, combined with a captured king pin design we utilize a Formula Racecar trick called Negative Camber (NC) to enhance turning and perfect the ability to cut and carve. Check out our Technology page for more details on Negative Camber.

Q: Can I find Method Skateboards at a local skate shop?

We are working hard to add names to our growing list of distributors. We are currently building the website page to add available dealer locations.

Q: Are there more models and sizes of Method Skateboards?

Q: How durable are Method Skateboards?

Extremely durable. Our decks are made with the higest quality woods, wheels are made with only the highest grade and quality of urethane, and the trucks are made from heavy duty A356 Aluminum heat treated to a T6 condition…... Only the best. That is our Method.

Q: Is there any maintenance I need to follow? Do I need to replace parts often?

Normal Skateboard maintenance applies to the deck, nuts, bearings, bushings, etc. The Method NC truck can be precisely tuned for your desired set up. Keeping your truck properly tuned is important to maximize performance. As with all skateboards, the more aggressive you ride and the harder you cut, the faster you will wear down your wheels! Not a problem…. all replacement components are available at www.MethodSkateboards.com

Q: How Fast Can I Get My Method Board?
