How do you store your skateboard yourself?
Just make sure you store it in a cabinet or closet, make sure it’s a dry place that doesn’t get too hot. Lay your board on its side on a place above the ground where nobody can step on it or mount it on a wall. For a single skateboard, your best bet is a garage hook, wall hanger straps, or a guitar hanger.

How do you mount a skateboard rack on a wall?
To mount the rack I located a stud and predrilled a hole for the top screw. I then hung the rack with only the top screw with it just barely loose (so that it could still be rotated).
