Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for fastening components of equipment, for example, a skateboard or a roller skate, among other types of sporting boards, sports apparatuses, or wheeled sporting apparatuses. Fastening systems disclosed herein may be utilized to couple a skateboard truck to a skateboard deck. The fastening systems may add a high level of stability and durability to the coupling or the anchoring of, e.g., a kingpin to a baseplate on the skateboard truck. For example, the high level of stability and durability to the coupling or the anchoring may be achieved via a sleeve (e.g., a flanged sleeve) that is formed of high-strength material and press-fit into an aperture on the skateboard truck baseplate.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for fastening components of equipment, specifically a skateboard, among other types of sporting boards or sports apparatuses or wheeled sporting apparatuses. Fastening systems disclosed herein may be utilized to couple a deck of a skateboard to a truck of a skateboard. The fastening systems may reduce the need for a tool (e.g., a hex drive or other tool) that might typically be utilized to engage a head of a fastener to hold the fastener in place while a securement body (e.g., a nut) is coupled to the fastener.
