Jamie Foy's SECRET Bushing Hack!

- Jamie Foy's Secret Bushing hack is to only skate clear bushings. Jamie Foy skates thunder raw trucks with just stock bushings but on the nine club he told chris roberts he'll only skate the clear bushings and that the blue clear bushing from thunder are his favorite. Jamie Foy says that solid color bushing get too hard because of the chemicals in the dye. I copied Jamie Foy's board setup down to his clear blue bushings so in this video I talk about skating on Jamie Foy's Clear blue thunder bushings and compare jamie foy's bushings to bones mediums bushings that I used to ride.
Strengthen and warmup your posterior chain before every session. It takes stress off the patella tendon and prevents jumpers knee.
Hamstrings and glutes specifically
It’s patellar. The patella is the bone, not the tendon
@@jamesallen2909 whatever
@@jonathansmith4097 LMFAO
@Hoodie y I use an elastic band around my ankles. Do so squats and and lateral lunges until the glutes are firing properly. Also I do some dynamic stretches. Toe touches etc
I’ve learned the right good equipment helps a lot and all those basic tricks really help when it comes to the more difficult tricks it just makes things so much easier having the basics down really good. I like these videos bro keep up the good work
Very true! thanks for watching!
Met this guy at the SLS in lake havasu ! Pretty chill dude. Definitely became one of my favorite you tubers. Keep it up dude much love for the channel 🙏
Thanks for coming up to me G! Appreciate the support!
You seriously deserve way more subs. Amazing content!!
That KICKFLIP and that SLOMO were MAGNIFICENT!
Love the attention on synchronizing music and video together, it definitely does not go unnoticed! Those 180s begin to look really solid too! Loved the video!
Appreciate you 🙏🏼❤️
yeah jamie always holding it down for the bigger skaters.. I always enjoy your uploads on this channel fam. keep it up!
The flick/ catch on your kickflip up the euro at the beginning of the sesh was exquisite sir
Good skating and good vid about bushings. I'm around 200lbs and i had to swap the bottom bushings on my Indy's cuz they were like you describe with the "falling off" effect. I replaced them with Venom 90a red barrel bushings and it is such an improvement.
Good choice with venom. Wine red venoms should be a good duro for a technical setup. I messed up my ankle months ago and haven't been able to do tech so I got into looser cruising/surf skating. I run venom SHR seafoam barrels and red cones on most of my decks. I'm about to buy Riptide bushings. They have a "Krank" formula which should be similar to venoms SHR formula. Riptide sells you bushings to spec depending on your truck, and they also sell high quality hand poured pivot cups which I'll be trying out.
neat tip! This is also very true with downhill skateboard products... Wheels with the same urethane formula but with different color dyes, slide differently, grip differently, break out and hook up differently. So, same same with bushings
Clear green Venture bushings from the 90s were one of the reasons I skated Venture Featherlite trucks. I just got the Thunder clear blue 94 da and put them on my indy titaniums and wha-la. I tried 5 sets of bushings. I love the ride. I had to use 2 indy top washers per truck, since Thunder bushings slim down at the bottom of the bottom bushing.
Broooo... you are killin it!!! Keep up the Awesome Work!!!
Nice vid, as usual🙌
Personally, I ride the thunder blue transparent bushings (on thunder trucks...) which fit the best to me, compared to indy orange - I have a pair of indy hollow and ventures- . I never tested the indy white but it was nice hearing your impressions and I suppose they are worth a try.
Nice catch on both the kick flip and heel flip. That park looks like a lot of fun.
Thanks man lucky to have this park for sure
I've been skating those exact same thunders for a year now. They really do hold up well, and skate great.
Did you ever deal with your bushing splitting?
I believe this because I’ve tried every bushing by independent and I have to tighten them really bad but thunder and venture stock bushings are fine. But bones are still up there with my faves lol
bones 91a or hard 96a ?
so the solid colors tend to go bad?im asking because im putting the black ones on my indys right now
I switched from Thunder trucks to Indy's and the biggest adjustment was the bushings. For me the thunder stock bushings feel so much better than the Indy's. Took me awhile but i finally found some good bushings to use from riptide.
Which ones ? I have indy mids and they’re wayyy too loose for me I had to get dohdoh 101s and still feel like I need a little harder 😂
Crazy what you pay attention to !
Love your vids keep it up
Thanks man! Appreciate you watching so early!
That back 5-0 on the ledge was money. On the bushing wave I just skate what they come with. Right now I’m skating ace trucks.
Thunder 147 titanium lights with white thunder bushings in front and a harder black bushings in the rear. This allows a tighter rear truck but the same ride height. The hard bushings dont blow out or deform. Hard in the rear took some geting used to but once i did i love it. Very reliable, no adjusting truck tighteness constantly.
I love honest opinions as well as reviews of skate gear.
I mashed that sub button
I am turning 34 this year and my daughter wanted me to teach her some skateboard tricks so now I have 3 decks. I have yet to ride. Haven't skated for about 15 years.... thanks for the info ... I will be back for more
I hope that all is well for you and your family and friends.
Great vid. Bushings are a hot topic haha. One bummer is that bones bushings don’t really fit into thunders. I did it once but you have to modify the bushing…not worth it. Those stock blue ones are great, very tight at first but they break in nicely
Yoooo you improve a lot your skating! Thats hella cool!!!!
I hope that all is well for everyone reading this comment.
You too!
@@michaelslattery7104 thankyou
🥰🥰
I agree with Jamie, clear Thunder bushings are the best! Once you break them in, of course.
I'd like to see a series like this on Villani 👍
Awesome video, its funny because i have this random thunder setup with those bushings and a pair of silvers with very similar ones- and as much as i wanna say i love indys and other setups, which are fine, i skate my best and most comfortable on ones with the translucent bushings lol
used to skate with jamie 10 years ago ish and he was good asf but not a pro i never woulda thought he would have gotten this big this is soo cool............also used to see zion wright allll the time
The one thing that sucks about thunder/ventures stock bushings is if you live in a really cold environment like Canada they will tighten up and blow out on you within 1 session last year I went through 4 sets of the translucent bushings in a week so just switched to ace trucks and they haven’t failed me!
Lubing them would probably help. Biggest thing though is just ride em gently for a bit when it's that cold out. You flexing them will heat them up quickly. Just like how a rubber band gets hot when you stretch and compress it.
@@PinkFZeppelin who lubes up bushing, you clearly don’t skate enough…… I just got a different brand of trucks and they work way better in Canada.
@@noahatkins5477 Lots of people do to stop their trucks from squeaking. I never said I had a problem with my bushings so you're just projecting for some reason. Thanks for keeping on the long held tradition of dickhead skaters!
@@PinkFZeppelinWTF are you blabbering?! 🤦🏽♂️
I got thunders with blue conical independent bushing very great combo
Be safe man,love the video 🎥
Much love my G!
Dude I haven’t even watched this yet but my truck/bushing madness already simultaneously loves you and hates you 😂
Much love and respect to you and your channel. Thankyou for what you do and your contribution to the skateboarding community. I love your videos. Can you do a video on daewon songs board setup? I know he does something really interesting with his trucks. I dont think he uses bushings.
I actually made that video a while back loose trucks vs tight trucks but eventually I will circle back and try it again.
@@localjoe I'll check it out. I'm sorry I didn't know.
Thankyou I just watched it.
I like skating my board on the tighter side so I skate bones hard bushings! I usually do replace the top washer with the ones that come with the bones
thunder has good bushings, I skated the clear orange ones in the 148s was not disappointed
ive only ever used stock and only ever will. learning about wheelbases and shit has drove me crazy. ignorance is bliss, dont even want to think about bushings lmao
I skated indies during my youth mid 80s to mid 90s ...then a while in 98-01 all indies. I started back up for awhile in 2020 and decided to go with Thunder . They feel awesome and you're spot on , it took about 2 to 3 days and once they broke in they were perfect. I had to snug them up a bit, I like a medium tightness. Thunders ride so nice , they carve really mellow and control better during the push imho.
why did you stop again?im just asking because im like you but im 49 now and plan to hit FDR here in philly
@chrhadden I have a bad back which wasn't an issue I honestly was doing really good . Unfortunately I have a disc thats bad in my necks C6 ...It screws with my balance and also causes weakness in my arms.
If you're healthy enough to get your muscle memory back its totaly doable, my body just can't do it anymore . Incurance won't cover the surgery so for now I have to be careful. I've had surgery on my lower back and it screwed me up , I'd like to not have to do it again unless absolutely necessary.
If it wasn't for that I'd be skating still.
You should try shortys doh doh bushings. I ride relatively loose so I roll with the blue 88s. Sick video.
the bones medium 91A are more flexible than the thunder?
I would like to try the bones but I don't know if I take the 91A or the 96A.
( I think the thunder are too soft )
I just like to ride the kind of bushings that come with the truck. Doesn’t have to be the stock ones though. For Indies I do like their orange 90As but for Thunders I’ve changed mine out to the 95A replacement bushings. I used to try out the Bones Mediums and Hards but didn’t really like either.
powell makes good stuff but they dont make trucks
Yellow doh dohs are perfect for me, had the same ones in a like 4 sets of trucks
this is kinda funny bro like literally me and all my friends only ride the yellow or blue thunder stock bushings been doing this for like 10 years they are so good!!
My stock Thunder bushings cracked and practically broke off after 3 sessions… wish I had the same experience as you and Foy. I do ride them tighter, but damn I was disappointed. Indy bushings (solid orange) in Thunder Trucks was a thing for a while… now I skate a Tensor. 🤷🏽♂️
That park looks funnnn
Nice, where is this park ?
I have Venture trucks, changing how their bushings improve performance?
Bro the knee thing is real. I used to run alot and the same thing would happen after a break of over a week. Personally I'll always roll bones hardcore, I tried the thunder reds but they blew out within a week. I thi k it's something about the core the kingpin goes through on the bones.... Sweet vid...
great skating g!
Thunder stock bushings are 90 duro and they are the best in my opinion. However, Thunder also makes 94 duro clear colored bushings that are more similar to the bones mids. I haven’t tried them yet but I’m interested in seeing how they compare. Jake Hayes swears by the 94 duro thunder bushings.
Is that why my stock bushing started splitting? Should I try the medium I thought they were 94a I don't weigh a lot but why did my bushing split only after 3 months
The bushing thing has been a very weird problem from me that went unnoticed for a while until one of my latest videos. I may have to try some clear bushings and see if it feels stable for me.
do you skate thunders?
@@localjoe I use the same trucks (Stronger Trucks) that Rayssa Leal is using. The trucks have a good cost-benefit and the bushings are like that on your video, but they bend. Before I used Venture trucks that broke (near the pivot cup ) trying to crocked 🙄 Sorry for my english, im brazilian and my english is so bad
@@EdilsonKabal its better than my portugesse.i cant beleive you broke a truck in that spot thats insane. the first i ever heard of someone doing that.
I used to ride bones bushings on thunder but recently I swapped them to Indy orange bushings and for me it made it so much better
Which is better, cylinder or conical indy bushing on thunder?
@@aimanapiq I used the cylinder ones
@@stt3z aite thanks👍
Great video
Good reminder on the stretch...
I just built a Jamie Foy with exact setup, exorcism failed Thunders, Spitfire’s, Swiss bones and Shake Junt Hurricane Jamie Foy Signature grip etc. I’m stoked because I have the deck for a week but the shipping on the rest of the components are taking more than a week longer than expected… 😕 I guess one day shipping will be good again. My items have been at the same shipping hub for 3 days
i mean i couldnt run the solid white venture bushings in the kader 6.1 standards for my life bought the 10$ bones hards same day. Got some 6.1 standard ventures a 2nd pair on a 8.8 shaped yellow clears.....epic night and day difference even on 56mm it turns really good and pops well. Compared to the solid white bushings in the various pro venture options. I have some pruple clear bushings on some 5.0 ventures for a small cruiser i think ill swap them out with the bones hards on my 6.1 kaders to see how good they feel. The bones dont really match well with ventures IMO
try a set of ace af1 …their my current favs
Dude. You down in Stg?
I've always skated translucent bushings. But I just like the way venture's red bushings look. So much that when I got another set of ventures I got them used and they had black bushings. I sourced some off brand trans red bushings just for aesthetics sake
you care enough about how it looks to sacrifice function? i guess its your life man
@@chrhadden maybe if I actually noticed a difference in bushings I'd ride different ones.
Maybe I've been skating the same type for so long I've gotten use to them. But you're right, it's my life so I'll do as I please.
Yo a few years late to the party on this vid but I have a question. I'm looking for the turquoise blue 94 duro bushings from thunder and was wondering where you get/got yours from? I've scoured the internet and like every US shop is either out or doesn't carry them. I found an Australian shop that has them but shipping is like 50 bucks lol
They are stock bushings that come with the truck.
Please someone tell me where to get the thunder bushings that are clear
You said that recently everything has been a little hectic
Honestly i feel that
But today i went skating after 3 days
Usally i skate everyday but its wet everyday.
Anyways it looked like my boy had a really sucessful session.
The bs flip was also a clean one.
Also the giveway will you do international shipping too.
I mean if not thats ok but it would be cool.
Keep the uploads up
You gonna make the 10 000
Thats interesting that the dye changes the urethane - no wonder I can’t skate Indy bushings anymore
Love your vids but would love to see you at different parks too!
Yeah I should change it up for sure not many parks around me but you're right
@@localjoe dude I feel you for real. I live in south new jersey and my only real local got shut down. There’s a DIY at a college basketball court but it’s iight so other than that I gotta drive 30-40 minutes to get anything decent. What big cities are near you?
@@YourContentSuckssssss closest is Las Vegas and it’s two hours away… there is another skatepark here but i hate it but I should force myself to go
@@localjoe damn man I’m really feeling your pain frfr 😂😂
The hard duro bushings for heavy set ppl n soft duro for light set ppl. Wveryone has they preference but this is a good foundation to start when resesrching bushing durometers when building a board. Which is why everyone should learn about they equipment first.
Is that maybe why my clear bushings split I'm on the lighter side of weight 120 but within 3 months of riding my new thunders and never tightening the bolt down rode stock should I try lower durometer thunder bushing like 90a pretty sure the clear blues are 94 a
Where is this beautiful place?
Consistent bro
What type of wheel and size?
lol joe skateboarding with joe.. squad goals
I'm newbie (27 y/o) & trying to adjust the bushing to my skateboard. Glad that I came across to this video! So much insights from you & the people in the comments! you just earned a new subscriber 🤙🏻
i would go with what the pro said and im sitting here putting new ones in my indys wishing i would have watched this first but im sure they will be fine
My theory for my skate setup: getting the most popular pieces of equipment so that the chance for those to disappear in the market over the years is less. For example: i skate thunder teams and any type of board (skateshop or brand), but the regular popsicle shape and medium concave. Athough for the wheels i like to try different brands, but i try to stick to classical shape wheels. I like the thunder stock bushings
is that your approach to everything in life? dry toast and black coffee? lol
This is completely logical. I got really used to a pair of Mercury trucks years ago and rode them until the hanger ate through the baseplate. Obviously they no longer existed when I needed a new pair...& getting used to a new truck was a pain.
Awesomeness yes yes cool...
i know ive left alot of comments, but this is the most important.. with thunder bushings, the second the start squeeking thats when you know you've achieved the stability of the bushings
Thick bro solidarity!! Interesting perspective and bones don’t seem to be as good as they were but maybe other companies have caught up to Bones? Just curious climate wise ..S.Utah stays kind of warm in the winteR???? BTW KEEP MAKEING VIDS DO YOUR PASSION AND DONT LET ANYTHING GET IN THE WAY.! Later in life you will look back on this time and cherish is. That’s my old ass though as how I see it. Can’t wait to see more videos you definitely have a channel that stands out.
Try one of those thera massage guns all the skaters are using
where can i buy the bushings?
what wheels you got?
I just swapped from grind kings to venture lows. Big difference. The Gk is super turny but the solid insert in the bushing prevents the wheel bites
The ventures are way less turny and low which I prefer. Clear red bushings on those !
I want to pose this question to you. It might not make sense but here goes. Do you feel that learning so many different pros techniques or tips on tricks will affect your 'style' development, i.e. do you think it would lead to fake Steaze or just looking kind of robotic? Hopefully that makes sense was just a thought I had and wanted to know your take on it.
Hmm never thought of that before, it's a very good question 🤔🤔🤔
I thought it was, but I realize it may sound like I'm just being a douche. I am asking for newer skaters in general not in reference to Local Joe and his style 😅
Not unless I actually try and copy their steeze but technique is something you can copy style not so much. You can tell when someone is trying to look a certain way it looks super budget in a very artificial way. I like to think I look budget in a unique way lol
@@localjoe I wasn't taking any shots at you 🤣🤣 it was meant for like for newer skaters trying to avoid that in a way haha I can barely even Ollie anymore so I have no Steaze I just look like baby deer shaky leg Steaze 🤣
@@poulsentyler A mix of Yuto and Sewa style would be fantastic for me. Posture and control
haha
LOL wow im actually surprised he said he doesnt like the white bushings... the white thunder bushings are the absolute best in my opinion, but thats why we all have different things we like and skate (i just wish thunder would actually continue to make the solid white bushings though, they do but you cant find them anywhere for sale unless on specific pro model trucks)
note, i do understand if he likes the harder bushings so he can keep the kingpin nut out so he can pinch crooks and shit easier.. that would actually make alot of sense why i lost the ability to crook ledges, but i personally am a smith person, so the white bushings, with 2 kingpin threads showing give me that stability on the smiths from dipping too far, but just dipped enough where it looks insane
I'm pretty sure that's all in Jamie's head cause I have been skating for 20 years and can't tell a difference between clear and solid bushings. Dye can't change derometer unless there putting so much that it would be apparent. The hardness isn't going to be changed by dye or the Companies would make the adjustments needed to fix that
Iv never switched out my bushing always used stock never really thought about it tbh
I've hated bushings all my life. Especially stocks. They mold one side everytime and my balance is whack. I'll have to try this
Anyone tried this blue Thunder bushings on Indy Standard?
So this also goes into bowling balls (made by urathane as well) funny how it’s noticeable also on bushings
Cool yeeeeaaahhhh!!!!
You should learn nollie/ nollie flip into euro gap that would look sick
Honestly I should be kickfliping into it at the very least. I want to learn nollie flips soon I've been getting them on the trampoline but doesn't really mean much haha
@@localjoe DO A NOLLIE FLIP VIDEO PLEASE!!! I'm learning them as well🙏👊
I hate breaking in new bushings. Im 32 now and it might take a couple months sometimes for me to find the time to get in 3 skate sessions. I would rather buy another truck brand or buy aftermarket bushings rather than taking the time to break in new bushings.
The translucents have a deadline, the solid color bushings 9/10 will last significantly longer. SFP-23
bushings usually take a week or two depending on how much you skate to really break in
i agree man i always overtighten then hit some hills loosen them up a little and that gets them close.its Pa so there is no shortage of hills except its all up hill lol
What exactly are your completes specs? And what’s your ig?
@thelocaljoe and I'm on a Deathwish Foy Twin Tail Thunder Trucks Raw 149 stock bushings Bronson G3 Bearings with Spitfire F4 tablets and Shake Junt Hardware
Peace , Damn im old lol we called them clouds late 80s n 90s in nyNj💨💨💨stay free
I always thought tensor bushings felt great when they broke in
Actually jamie foy didn't go into full detail on the 9 club about his "stock" hack. Yes he will ride thunder raw stocks but then he will change out the top bushings only with either independent stock tops or yellow doh doh tops..
always thought thunder hollows had the best bushings i tried to tell people.
I blow out those clear thunder bushings. I like the white krux bushings
Super kush bushings are good they are clear
Type of content that you didn’t know you need to knew
you need to skate switch everyday!
I don’t like bones bushings. After market Indy bushings are my favorite. I use the hard conicals.
