By definition, Wheel base is the distance between the axis of front and rear wheels.
But apparently on skateboards it's a different measurement criteria.
Aside from the above, I'm curious as to 'why'? |

| Different trucks put the axle in different places relative to the truck's baseplate. So using the CL of the inner bolt holes is the most standard way to measure wheelbase. |
