Finally a semi-decent video on bushings. You made a quick remark on softer bushings on 50° trucks. This is huge. Most people forget about the geometry of the truck. For example: 60° trucks require much softer bushings than 35° trucks. Also you should talk a bit about rake, since it affects the stability, and therefore your bushing choice. (Sometimes slalom knowledge pays off. ;))
This was great had me laughing the whole time... Just shows you dont get completely blitzed right before you shoot an informative video. Way to funny guys 👍
Different bushing hardness also makes a different 'feel' of turn. Compared to symmetrical bushings, softer roadside make it feel like you have a slightly higher angle truck and softer boardside feels like a lower angle.
I've only had original trucks, so I have no idea what kind of bushings I should have for my new Gullwing sidewinder 2's. I weigh 92kg / 202 lbs. I don't do sliding or downhill, I only use it as a form of transportation. I live in the city so I need to be able to make really tight turns to dodge people while I cruise down the street but I want it to be steady as well for somewhat higher speed. Someone help me please!
Looking into getting new bushings. I have heard in different places that the Orangatang Nipple bushings are nice. I was wondering what size you would recommend for cruising, overall getting a nice smooth ride.
Hey , I am mostly freeriding and never really looked that much at the bushings, I changed them at the shop (barrel and cone). Now I wanna buy some different ones like barrel and stepped cone but I am not sure about the duro... Cause the barrel I have in my nemesis are 100a, lol, and they are alright not hard (not sure what the cone is) but also not too soft. I'm 187 lbs. so I thought about board side 94a stepped cone and roadside a barrel 91a. Would that be alright or would it be too much of a difference in the hardness?
Need a little help, i do downhill and fast free and need a more stable set up, i weight 230lb got some skoa trucks yesterday and feels pretty wobbly ,has 93a boardside 87a roadside i order a harder pivot because mine is pretty bad
That's crazy idk anything about Bushings and trucks, mine are red assuming 90A cone, Paris V2 50 degree 150MM and I weigh 178lbs.... Most people that get on my board tell me "you don't go downhills with this right" funny thing is I do, I've gone up to 40mphs on my board, the way look my ankle set and how strong, they are immovable. I prefer feeling "lose" I live in NYC and I prefer to carve around cars. Al though I'm thinking about a thicker board (8 Ply) strictly for free ride and downhill like the Arbor Backlash 37, assuming that it'll have the appropriate bushing set up for that type of riding, otherwise I would have to buy my bushing set up for its specifics.
Hey man I have Paris v2's and weigh about 137lbs. I mostly want to slide and cruise any suggestions on what style and how soft or hard to get them for what I want to do?
We would suggest an 87a Venom barrel on bottom (boardside) and 85a venom barrel on top (roadside), gets you a good split duro feel for your weight, a little more stability for slides, but still loose enough to carve and chill accordingly
I weigh ~140 pounds. I want to start getting into free-ride and light downhill. I still want to be able to cruise around and carve. I was thinking 87a barrel board side, and 85a cone road side. Is this best for what I will be doing?
GoldmoonProductions i ride double barrel for my 50 degree freeride caliber two trucks on my jet 36.0 deck. i ride yellow roadside and purple boardside. ive tried barrical road side but ive fallen on my butt going pretty fast. so doublr barrel has done me justice so far.
Depends on your weight, preference, trucks, bushing shape and urethane in the bushings. I have for sure used 81a stepped cones as a top bushing in precision trucks for downhill and I'm 160lbs, so it all boils down to personal preference/feel :) -Jackson

Upward inflection "Ummm"...priceless dude!! :-D
Thanks man this video helped me alot.
That epic moment when MoBo uploads a new video..

Hey dude that gnarly was like totally rad man!
Dude just nailed it …👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks, this was nice and comprehensive
Pretty good presentation. Thanks man
He sounds like a young Nate Blackburn
This was a great help, thanks!

Hi, I would like to know how to set up the Bloodorange Wedge Bushing.
what you recommend for me? 205 lbs and lilke freestyle with a 40" board paris v3 43 degree trucks

Great video!!
really good video!
Lol, his eyes trying to look at both cameras. Good info though, thank you!

Hi guys what sort of bushings setup would be good to start learning slide,thanks.
is hardness depend on your weight or how and where you ride???
That science what i need!
Can somebody help me with a problem? I wanted to know if you can use SKP bushings on RKP trucks.

How does it feel escaping the upside down?

love the wheels... what are they? anyone anyone???

Isnt 83a a little soft for downhill? I have 89a barrels for freeride and at 130lbs it still is too leany.

I guess I didn't factor in presicion trucks. nevermind :)
Was that a re-drill on the savage?
Yep.
Mini Nate!!
Baby Blackburn!
thanks dude
Lol this dude was stoned as fuck, good info tho
You're awesome
I see my deck on the wall in the backround
What trucks where he using?

Thanks
no worries man
Towards the end he reminded me of Wayne from Wayne's World.
You mean the whole video
Yeah true I just didn't really notice it until then. hahaha
