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. ;))
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.
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 👍
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!
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
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?
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
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.
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
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.
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.

3:08 "You stop the perpendicular deformation as well as the perpendicular"
😂😂😂
Upward inflection "Ummm"...priceless dude!! :-D
Thanks man this video helped me alot.
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.
That epic moment when MoBo uploads a new video..

Hey dude that gnarly was like totally rad man!
He sounds like a young Nate Blackburn
Dude just nailed it …👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Thanks, this was nice and comprehensive
what you recommend for me? 205 lbs and lilke freestyle with a 40" board paris v3 43 degree trucks
Pretty good presentation. Thanks man
Hi, I would like to know how to set up the Bloodorange Wedge Bushing.
is hardness depend on your weight or how and where you ride???
This was a great help, thanks!
Can somebody help me with a problem? I wanted to know if you can use SKP bushings on RKP trucks.
Hi guys what sort of bushings setup would be good to start learning slide,thanks.
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
Great video!!
That science what i need!

How does it feel escaping the upside down?

really good video!
Lol, his eyes trying to look at both cameras. Good info though, thank you!
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.
thanks dude
Lol this dude was stoned as fuck, good info tho
What trucks where he using?
aera k4 7 series
Thanks
no worries man
You're awesome
