  1.   A shot of wd 40 might solve your problem.


  2. You can put in a new set of bearings.

    Next time do some routine maintenance and grease your bearings if you ride a lot or go through puddles.


  3. Im a skater my self  so i would just buy new barrings.

  4. Get new bearings (Bones Reds are great). DO NOT EVER PUT WD-40 IN YOUR BEARINGS. It may seam to solve the problem, but the greasy, sticky, (disgusting) film it leaves actually attracts more dirt and grime. When the dirt and grime gets in the bearing (which is what happened to you) the bearing will stop spinning. Get new bearings and be sure you take good care of them. Don't ride in the rain, (Bad for your bearings and deck), Don't ride in the dirt/mud, and clean them out every month or so. DO NOT CLEAN THEM WITH WATER! Use a special bearing solution which is available from most skate-shops.

  5. get new bearings, but first check and see if the hardware keeping the wheel on the truck is whats stopping it, if it is, loosen that nut

  6. its your bearings

    they get ruined with water and impact
