The '''kingpin''' is the bolt that runs through the center of your skateboard [[Trucks|trucks]], and holds the trucks together. The '''kingpin''' sticks up through the [[Baseplate|baseplate]] and runs through the bottom [[Bushings|bushing]], the [[Hanger|hangar]], top bushing, [[Bushing Cap|bushing cap]], and is then secured with a nut. Most '''kingpins''' are a fat hex-headed bolt, but there are many kinds of kingpins out there, including inverted kingpins, which is the preferred option for freestylers so that the '''kingpin''' doesn't dig into your calves during [[No-Handed Pogo|no-handed pogos]]. | The '''kingpin''' is the bolt that runs through the center of your skateboard [[Trucks|trucks]], and holds the trucks together.
