For help: I weigh 150lbs. I run yellow (85a) cone boardside, and blue (78a) cone roadside. GREAT for carving, flatland freeride, sliding, etc. great universal, turny, low speed, flatland, etc setup My "tighter" setup is Red (90a) barrel boardside, and switch my 95a yellow cone to roadside. It is very noticeably tight at loosest tightening of your kingpin nut. but not too bad. good for anything needing stability or tightness. slides okay. haven't downhilled on it yet. but you can try it.
Thanx o much you literally just help me figure out my speed wobble on my electric longboard thing goes 27 mph but I get sum nasty wobbles ima try what u said.thanx my bro
Harder bushings will make it harder to turn, while softer bushings will turn easier. Let us know how much you weigh and we can help you dial in a better bushing setup.
@magiclongboarder Personal favorite is barrel/barrel. Just make sure you get the right set up for your weight/style. It took me a couple different tries to get it all worked out! -nick
I just got two sets of Eliminators (90a). You mentioned the tight fit that two eliminators would have on one truck. I believe you! I had the hardest time getting both to fit on a Paris 180. I was wondering if this is normal or if there is a tip on getting them to fit easier. I got the knut to catch on the kingpin, just barely, and this was after I I really had to push down hard to get both bushings on there. Is this normal? Thanks for the video!
It would but you'd loose alot of lean, the turn would come from the roadside cone. Although thats a great way to reduce wheelbite but maintain turn compared to a barrel/ barrel setup :)
What about the new Venom Barrical (Freeride) bushings? Accidentally bought barricals instead of cones but I actually like the barricals alot. Any significant ups and downs about em? (Ridin 85a Barricals roadside and 89a blood orange cones boardside on Caliber 50s and Comet Takeover)
Will eliminators work if I want to DH, but also want to loosen my trucks up and freeride a little bit? (Landyachtz Switchblade, Bear 852's, 82a Mini Zombie Hawgs). Thanks!
Im 110lbs, and would like to know which duros should go boardside and which roadside. I wanted a barrel boardside and a super carve roadside to keep a clean balance.
@magiclongboarder Pretty much any of the trucks used in this video will all work great for everything. If you would like an even more specific breakdown feel free to message me. -Nick
what bushing would you recommend for the 50 caliber trucks on my 2012 wolfshark with These Wheels? I have them on the shortest wheelbase, and don't want any more wheelbite
I have a tan tien, i want to go down decent hills (even though its not a downhill board) plus i want to freeride, I weigh 52 kg /116 lbs???????? could u give me some insight into which bushings i should use plus which to put roadside/boardside????
hey, i have an apex 40 with paris adam coltons and abec 11 flashbacks. i am having some trouble with sliding, when i go to slide the wheels usually pick up off the ground and i end up riding on 2 wheels, but on my friends apex 37 with original s8 trucks sliding is much easier but the 40 was made more for freeride; so i was just wondering if you could help me out and tell me what trucks/bushings would be best for sliding or if i just need to change the bushings. Thanks.
I weigh in at 195-200 lbs (I bodybuild so my weight fluxuates bepending on the time of year) if Im running a comet voodoo doll with some caliber 44's what do I need to run in terms of durometer if I want to dabble some mild downhill. (25-35mph)
I have a set of 200mm Surf Rodz RKP's (adjustable Hanger) What would you recommend for Downhill/Slide/Crusing? I am really stuck. Im thinking Barrel-Barrel and im 12stone. What Duro Would i Need????
I weigh 250, should I run a pink dh barrel boardside and green dh barrel roadside in the front, and in the back a green elim boardside and a pink roadside?
Hey, I'm 130 lbs and I'm thinking about getting the eliminators for my 44 Caliber trucks. I do downhill mostly but i want to get some stand-up slides in there too. Can you help me out please?
I am riding bear trucks for my apex 34. I really wanted 80a o tang nipples but they do not fit into bear trucks. What would you recommend that would be most similar to 80a o tang nipples for venom? please respond.
Hey guys, I weigh 132lbs and i would like to do downhill only but not faster then 50 mph. What durometer should I take? (barrel roadside and eliminator boardside)
anyone know the bottom two boards in the rack in the backround in the video on youtube on the internet on my screen on my table on my floor in my house on my street on my block in my district in my town in my county in my state in my time zone in my state in my region in my continent on earth. so any way does anyone know the bottom two boards in the backround on the rack?

fantastic video. ton of info and cleared up a lot of stuff about bushings for me. thanks
Nicely presented Nick!
@Hjerpe90
pumpkin ones were offered in old bear trucks. They have since been mostly phased out. The pumpkin was made out of old 83a venom thane.

Thanks for this video. Cleared a lot of things for me. Now I know why my caliber 50* 9" felt so lose and turny.
You sir ROCK I had no idea what these where for now I do :D!

@chiipdee
I would only recommend cone cone if you are carving/cruising with no serious hills.
--Nick
i got the blood red barrels and bright orange cones for my bears on my 2011 wolfshark. works great for slow freeride
I love learning this stuff.
Good to hear!
so when you say cone barrel did you mean on the base of the truck have a barrel and the hanger have a cone? very informational thankyou :)
thanks I was confused on what the different bushings do
duro means hardness of the urathane, so higher the number the harder it is. That being said 90a/90a barrel should work well for your weight.
Can you do a review on the venom free ride bushing
@skimmingandstuff
Yeah they give you a very defined center point making you have more stability.
I went to that hill in the intro a while ago when I was in seattle/ Lakewood it's sooo sick too bad I didn't skate

should i put the metal washer on the top bushing only? are on the top and bottom bushing
Insta-subscribe. You guys are great help for longboard starters like me, I really needed this kind of info :D
What would be the best setup for sliding under 25mph? Harder bushings or softer? What combination, cone cone, cone barrel, so on so on?
What about the new Venom Barrical (Freeride) bushings? Accidentally bought barricals instead of cones but I actually like the barricals alot. Any significant ups and downs about em? (Ridin 85a Barricals roadside and 89a blood orange cones boardside on Caliber 50s and Comet Takeover)
I have caliber 50s and I mainly use my board for freeride and I don't know if I should get riptide or venom bushings
red barrel (90a) boardside, yellow (85a) cone roadside.
Will eliminators work if I want to DH, but also want to loosen my trucks up and freeride a little bit? (Landyachtz Switchblade, Bear 852's, 82a Mini Zombie Hawgs). Thanks!

Your think Barrell Barrell would be good for downhill with some freestyle?

Do you recommend using those cupped washers for bushings and between what do i put them (Boardside or truck side)?
what do u think the best bushing setup would be for bear grizzlys if u like a good carve
180 pounds, Pintail 45, looking to get a barrel and cone. What duro should I get? I was thinking purple, 87a. Would that work well?
what bushing would you recommend for the 50 caliber trucks on my 2012 wolfshark with These Wheels? I have them on the shortest wheelbase, and don't want any more wheelbite
I've only heard the eliminator referred to as a pumpkin bushing previous to this.
can you be more specific on the slinding and downhill
for dh could i run double eliminators in the back and double barrels in the front
I have a Dervish with paris 180 truck on. What bushings should i use for carving and freestyle?
Sorry I didn't catch that but what is best bushings for bear grizzly 852 free ride, slide, and cruise?
so what if i set a cone - eliminator on my trucks would there be any real affect or is it pointless?
for a double barrel setup for fast downhill/freeride would you recommend i'm 5'10" and 120 pounds. i was thinking 90a maybe?
I have an Apex 40 Double Concave and i do more freestyle and Freeride and a butt load of slides. And some minor downhill.
I have a tan tien, i want to go down decent hills (even though its not a downhill board) plus i want to freeride, I weigh 52 kg /116 lbs???????? could u give me some insight into which bushings i should use plus which to put roadside/boardside????
what bushings would be the best for free ride and a little bit of downhill?
hey, i have an apex 40 with paris adam coltons and abec 11 flashbacks. i am having some trouble with sliding, when i go to slide the wheels usually pick up off the ground and i end up riding on 2 wheels, but on my friends apex 37 with original s8 trucks sliding is much easier but the 40 was made more for freeride; so i was just wondering if you could help me out and tell me what trucks/bushings would be best for sliding or if i just need to change the bushings.

Hey, I'm 130 lbs and I'm thinking about getting the eliminators for my 44 Caliber trucks. I do downhill mostly but i want to get some stand-up slides in there too. Can you help me out please?
Hi! i got the super carve bushing! but I don't know which way om going to it on?
@TheRealRitzZz
The wider side touches the hanger.
-Nick
Hey um I have bear 852 trucks and I want some bearings that help me slide and so really nice carving....
I am riding bear trucks for my apex 34. I really wanted 80a o tang nipples but they do not fit into bear trucks. What would you recommend that would be most similar to 80a o tang nipples for venom? please respond.
i run venom eiliminator on roadside and a venom barrel on boardside
What is a good venom bushing for sliding?
which is best setup for downhill slides through mountians
If my weight is of 55 kilograms which one should i use?
I want it for freeride and smooth slides
so if i want to get into races run x2 eliminator can i still predrift and slide cause i need to turn somehow
do bear trucks come with the cylinder ones?
What about the venom freeride barricle bushings?
85a barrel roadside and 87a barrel boardside, or even 89a boardside
I'd say its a little bit slower. Id do a combo of barrels and/or elims for faster stuff. stay clear of cones.
what setup would be the best for sliding
What about eliminator board side and cone roadside
what do i use for slinding and downhill
Hey bro, whats your downhill setup?
would you want eliminator and cone for anything?
awesome ! thank you for the info !
what would you recommend for sliding?
Hey guys, I weigh 132lbs and i would like to do downhill only but not faster then 50 mph. What durometer should I take? (barrel roadside and eliminator boardside)
Awesome!
which bushings are right for me? im 84 pounds. i do freeriding and a bit of dh.
Would 81a eliminators be good?
can you run double eliminator on paris ?
are eliminaters good for sliding
Hey could somebody tell me the softest bushing for breaking free of the pavement but also staying stury for speed
Go 87a boardside and 85a roadside
78-81a should work well
What duro are these bushings?
anyone know the best setup for flat ground and a bit of downhill sliding? im currently riding paris 180s. plz include duros! :D also, im 115 lbs
very helpful thanks!
I WEIGHT 115 WHAT WOULD BE A GOOD DURO FOR ME?
and what harness should I get if I am 143 pounds?
anyone know the bottom two boards in the rack in the backround in the video on youtube on the internet on my screen on my table on my floor in my house on my street on my block in my district in my town in my county in my state in my time zone in my state in my region in my continent on earth. so any way does anyone know the bottom two boards in the backround on the rack?
is cone on cone wayyyy to unstable?
What duro for 125 lbs?
so I weigh 60 kilograms, what would be better for me?
Good vid.. thank you..
@wolf9013 you're fine just keep practicing
200 lbs for sliding?
AND I run Paris 180's and Bear 852's
do people actually like elimintors?

thanks man
i would agree with this but you need to know different duros to.
🤙🏼👌🏼👌🏼🤙🏼
@skatedivona thanks
