How to Customize a Skateboard : Skateboard Bushings

[MrUnstopable07]

i Learned nothing .. and i laughed at everything

[WargasmJewce]

and this is an expert.....

[strychnine7777]

Fuuuu ! He's Trolling His Own Self! Damn! Cannot Believe it! ! !

[skater5273]

'almost soft enough to take a bite out of' mmmm yum ill have that for tea!!

[0000000000088]

are black bushings supposed to be hard or soft

[skateboardtech]

@0000000000088 In most cases yes. It's a loose industry standard. Doh Doh's are for example. It's really up to the brand or truck manufacturer. Color does not determine the durometer. So always check.

[laxativz]

i hate expert village!! they never do anything, they just talk about stuff!

[jacksdogrocko]

Rockin the camo

[TheTechgangsta]

do bushings always come with trucks? xDD sry for that question ;D

[BrokN9]

@TheTechgangsta yes they do

[chanproductions27]

yh sure i eat bushings

[supahriders101]

wat hardness of bushings are good for loose trucks with minimal wheelbite

[pcgamerftw]

@supahriders101 get blue doh dohs there 88 a

[howching]

wtf I tried biting my bushings and they're as hard as fuck...

[Firehead5430]

Crap I shouldnt buy bushings then because the weather outside is frightful! lol

[TheBmxskateman]

they dont know shit about skating!!!!! YOU DONT NEED SOMEONE TELLING YOU HOW TO PICK A SKATEBOARD!!! IT GOES BY YOUR TASTE AND WHAT KIND OF STYLE YOU HAVE!!!

[sgtsukhy]

what if ur bushings are hard plastic

[Arctraxiel]

Holy crap guys! I had no idea... A Bushing's hardness depends on how hard it is OMG!!!!!!!! I thought it had to do with what time of day the Kool-Aid man tore through your wall and yelled "OH YEAH!!!!!"

[ididntknow1993]

just use your old bushings everyone has some around if you've been skatin for awhile

[Iaintnosynystergates]

this... guy... talks like.... captain... krik

[rminitials]

"different company's have different brands" LMAO XD! Epic.

I actually find this guy to be very knowledgeable and thank him for providing me with the info I need. However, his sentences don't make much sense half the time.

[DevilsFan751]

fucktard village

[LLAPZable]

If I went to a skateshop and asked them to pick out the right bushing for me and if they told me this id slap em!

[ktmrida146]

Does anybody know how hard the stock bushings are in a pair of trucks? Please reply.

[bannanaization]

@ktmrida146 shitty very very shitty

[Longi452]

@ktmrida146 Most stock bushings are usually right in between medium and soft,

[Hhmmmmmmmmmm]

'Shawn Connolly has over 20 years of skateboarding knowledge.' hahahaahhahaha yeah fucking right he just talked a load ofshit right there! he didnt mention duro at all and said hard bushings to make your trucks turn tighter! facepalm! worse vid ever!

[DtoWnSux1]

my bushings are ment for having bushing cup on bottom and top. but dont have a bottom one. is that really bad todo?idk but its only way it fit

[alesnacarlo123]

My bushing sucks.my trucks are so loose

[Skedeys]

I BROKE my independent bushing! its like big crack in it! IS IT EVEN NORMAL ?

[boringcats]

@Skedeys no

[jgomes1992]

there the same duro as wheels 78a to 97a bushings is the norm

[ironmaidenmanic]

@jgomes1992 i like your comment. do u skateboard or longboard, cause i dont think ive ever heard a skateboarder talk about durometer. if your a skateboarder, thats sick u know ur shit.

[aylera]

@ironmaidenmanic lol wow.. Skateboarders talk about durometer all the time.

[jgomes1992]

@ironmaidenmanic ya i speedboard down hill longboard and street skate but nothing beets donhill

[TwiceVicodin]

If you wanna skip the breaking-in-bushings phase, boil, yes, boil your new bushings in water for 15-20 min. Then immediately put them on your trucks and skate em while they're soft. Voila, broken in.,

[hamsteryte]

Bushings are half the hardness of the wheels. So you're saying bushings are about 50.5a? That is ridiculous. My bushings are 85a.

[GoLarkOnUrGoKart]

if softer bushings help u turn easier than wtf is the point is the point of buying softer bushings but tightening the trucks?

[mr22otters]

i rides loose trucks and i was wondering if i should get the bones hardcore soft bushings? or is their a better bushing for loose trucks?

[xXxdaguitarfreakxXx]

terrorist

[haaris10]

@xXxdaguitarfreakxXx jack az how the hell is he a terrorist

[xXxdaguitarfreakxXx]

@haaris10 its obvious hes an arab and hes wearing a camo jacket

i doubt those are bushings, they will probably explode 1 second after the warranty ends

[xXKaden6Xx]

OMFG WHY DO THEY TALK LIKE ROBOTS? IN-THE-MIDDLE-OF-THEM LOL

[ps3killzone2]

@xXKaden6Xx no its cuz he has to read a script

[skatergod32]

It should take about 3 weeks man!

[viktor9621]

plzzz hel me

[viktor9621]

hey guys. my skateboard makes a squeeking sound when i turn, what should i do? yeah im a beginner;)

[skatergod32]

I usually take the bushings out and then put them back in a couple of times. Just mess around with the tightness of your trucks. The tighter they are the less squeek. The less tight the trucks the more squeek. Hope that helped

[guitar911schirmer]

@viktor9621 it will do that, dont worry

[ThisIsWhereMyHeartIs]

@viktor9621 chill out, my trucks squeak too. It doesn't matter! The squeaking is the bushings when the trucks lean. If you hate the sound of squeaking, throw on some harder bushings and tighten your trucks up. You won't be able to turn for sh!t, but there shouldn't be as much squeaking...

[shovelface88]

@ThisIsWhereMyHeartIs The squeeking actually comes from the pivot cups, not the bushings. If you take apart the trucks, and put a small amount of bar soap shavings in the pivot cups, your trucks wont squeek anymore. NEVER use WD-40 though, it degrades the urethane and total wrecks your trucks.

[ps3killzone2]

@shovelface88 thts wat i did i also put a drop of white grease it helps it to turn

[illbesnowboarding555]

venom bushings!!

[anthonyln]

bones hardcore hard bushings all the way

[yoyofreaked]

can i get anything like bushings at a lowes, homedepot, or albechons??? they dont have to be bushings just need soft ones.

[crashthepopularkids]

maybe not bushings but maybe orings

[ratmjcw]

@yoyofreaked Home Depot doesn't carry bushings.

[CrissAngelFreakAss]

lol wtf at about 0:19 he said: ''The hardness of the bushings depends on how hard they are'' lol WTF smartass dude lol

[xBruflot]

@CrissAngelFreakAss

I think he was supposed to say how hard it is to turn..

[sproing09]

go ahead dude! take a bite outta that bushing!!

[irock2114]

okay imma be riding street and vert like benchs and ramps grinding and shit what shoud i use soft or hard?

[nanogameboy]

medium

[kotekotekitty]

i like mine rock solid, i use manuals to turn

[abunchamidgets]

did he rilly just say that the hardness depends on how hard they are?????

and then he said different companies have different brands. lmao

[Maxter3r3]

@abunchamidgets

i no!!! is he on druggs or summet, he cant talk properly

[sk8er9P]

my board turns one way more than the other........

what's the problem

what should i do?

[Longi452]

That's the same thing with my board, it's a kryptonics (yes im a beginner) ,it's usually caused by the deck itself having uneven holes for the trucks to fit in, or your trucks are too loose, and you seem to be leaning on that side too much, hope it helps

[eluxa101]

every time I turn my bushings make my longboard like squeak and stuff ho0w can I make that stop"?

[weasle090]

woah! hes creepy when the camera cam down onto him his face was fucked up lol!

[Gamerundbandmitglied]

pros ar skate different anyone has a secret of his board everyone like it other

[xjaystanx]

do pros usually have hard or soft bushings??

[fakiebigspin1]

depends on what u ride, pipe or street so on...

[woodpusherlife]

i have thunder soft bushings and they move to one side more than the other and where ever i land it stays there plzzz help

[chancerbob95]

i got some royals with my new deck and the bushings were way too soft. when i ollied they would stay turned however i landed. i put my hard destructo bushings in and they are great.

[xDiceFirez]

same problem here what bushings are the best for street skateboarding?

[xtelevisionset]

How the fuck do you remove them?

[colinprprpr]

unscrew the kingpin completely and just pull the hangar off, then u can take off the bushings

[halfawholegrain]

i swear this guy is the einstein of skateboarding.. he has figured out the science of it all.

[hasselquist]

bones bushings are the best. the yellow mediums ones are superior to all other bushings on the market! responsive and soft yet stable and perfectly balanced

[blacknblueskateteam]

lol he said "the hardness of your bushings depends on how hard they are" Fucking idiot xD

[meowordie]

i agree he sounds like a dumbass

[zach45671]

i love thunders way more then indys

[sk8erdude789]

hey guys i think im getting a new pair of indys soon and i heard that the bushings were shit. so im gonna go out and buy some new bushings the bones ones. and i ride kinda tight not super tight but more tight than loose so should i get medium or hard bushings? thanks

[r2rodrums]

[sk8erdude789]

[elementskater0001]

[sk8erdude789]

[r2rodrums]

thunder. i used to ride indys, but then i tried thinders and they feel a lot better.

[sk8erdude789]

[r2rodrums]

[SoaD0WnZ]

for me when i got my thunders the bushings tore like pratically right when i got my board. so i just went to the shop and go some hard doh-dohs

[charlieandchocolat]

[crapskater12]

[jonesymcbonesy]

Nice video dude. i have just bought a pair of thunder trucks with seperate bushings. They are of medium hardness. Just wondering, Shall I just wack em on and skate them?

[jaweddunn]

0:19 the hardness depends on how hard they are, really?

[501135127]

i liked this video :)

just moved new area im

[fable815]

get independents or silver trucks

[AfroGelXD]

does the kingpin come with the trucks

[Nelsy4]

yes you get a kingpin and bushings when you buy trucks

[skaterlife12]

i had to cut my bushing cause it was too big

[mandaent4]

do bushings run in longer and smaller sizes are jus hardnesses like he said in the video? CAN SOMEONE PLEASE REPLY

[sickryder]

my friends bushings exploded

[jonnymoon]

"the hardness of your bushes will depend on how hard they are..." are you fuckin kidding me?

[DIEBYTHEWAVE]

ha thats prety frickin funny

[NJPackFan44]

what happens when my skateboard turns to the right when i push and go fast it always turns and i cant do tricks like that i need help

[thedragonslayerking]

get new trucks or loosin the nut on the king pin and train the bushings to make the trucks go strait or another thing is u can buy new bushings

[morpious]

do the speed demons,tensor,ruckus trucks are good???

[lolimnoteighteen]

most likely 2 things. 1 you dont have all your hardware in 2 your trucks are way too loose

[Sk8forLife152]

What are really hard bushings because i like my trucks tight.

[lolimnoteighteen]

hard bushings wont chip off in time, softer ones tend to start chipping

[iSkateinLakai]

How do you know when you need to purchase new bushings?

[jeremyrx10]

never or when they break

[weehooherod]

most wheel-99a-101a

bushings 77a-101a

This guy knows nothing about bushings.

[Weeble818]

most skateboard wheels are around 50-60d

longboard wheels 75a-89a

skateboard bushings are normally 90a-100a

longboard bushings 75a-99a

[weehooherod]

yeah my cruiser board wheels are 75a, but my bushings are just as soft. My skateboard bushings are just as soft. My bushings are so pliant, i love loosed trucks and bones soft bushings are really soft. they are softer than my longboard bushings.

[R4F431619]
