Drilling & Wheelbase (Hole Patterns That Change Feel)
Drilling accuracy is underrated. Hole placement controls wheelbase and truck alignment—two factors that directly impact turning feel and stability.

Wheelbase basics
- Shorter wheelbase: quicker turning, snappier feel.
- Longer wheelbase: stability at speed and in transition.
- Misalignment: trucks sit off-square, board can feel "off".
