Every Skip skateboard is checked that the bearings and trucks are coordinated correctly before shipping. Because every Skater is different with different preferences, the steering behavior may have to be readjusted. You do this by tightening or loosening the axle nut.
When you talk about the „size“ of a skateboard, you are refering to the width of the deck. Decks are measured in inches. Like many things in skateboarding, it is a matter of preference which deck size you favorize.
