Is there any way to make a skateboard turn fast, like, the classic skateboard? I found one that’s not broken, and it’s from 9 years ago. I just need to know how I can make it turn faster. If code is necessary, just reply.

Code would be appreciated at this category.
Thank you.

Sure is taking a while for help to arrive, but hey! Nobody’s obligated to reply, so I can wait.
If you are not receiving help, consider whether you have provided enough details and whether you have made the problem small enough for someone else to look into.
Consider reducing the code given to only the portion that is causing the issues. You should apply basic debugging before asking for help in this category.

There’s nothing wrong with what I have. I’m just trying to change a basic mechanic.
So to make the skateboard turn faster you need to decrease the time it takes for the skateboard to rotate when you push a “turn” button. I’m not totally sure what is causing the skateboard to turn from the code samples, perhaps it is governed by the animations that play when turning. If this is the case, you may want to try changing the play speed of the AnimationTrack.
It just turns slowly on its own.
For future reference, you should upload the model file in cases like this. The scripts itself don’t turn it or handle the turning speed, in this case it’s the SkateboardPlatform.
You said it’s from 9 years ago, so it’s using the deprecated SkateboardPlatform based on the properties it uses. SkateboardPlatform is very old, and does not have the ability to change the steer speed. You shouldn’t use a skateboard from 9 years ago for this reason, they aren’t up to date.
You’re probably better off scripting one from scratch or fixing a more recent one, and asking for help if you run into any issues while doing so.
