GETTING MY LEGS BACK! 

Love it when his "bad" comeback sessions look like the best session I would ever have lol

Skating gaps is fun... when you land your trick. 😂 i relate, i pretty much focus on ledge skating with the odd occasion that i hit a gap or stairs. Rails are totally foreign to me. Sick vid, cant wait to see the vx part!

I'm 30 years old skating in S.korea nowdays I feel tired way more earlier and take too long to recovered.. but I've spent half of my life with this wood, metal, poly shit and it become part of my life. Still love but hate this SKATEBOARD at the same time lol And thank you for the video I enjoying from overseas like 14,000km away❤❤

Can't wait for your VX part Tom. 🥰If you're sore that means you're putting in work! So I know your new video's gon be fire!!!

Ace bushings are great.. Medium is what I ride. Good luck!! The bushing rabbit hole is deep.

I bet Tom asta can even make double flips look good. Can you? Such a smooth style.

Tom, you are the man! Well spoken and freaking tech! like that 9, front/back nosegrind in the sunshine hittin switch back Ts in a line.

I’m 42, ride Santa Cruz decks, Thunder trucks, Spitfire, and Bronson. I feel you on being sore. Big fan, keep pushing.❤

YES ..!!!!..THE LOW PROFILE ACE BUSHINGS ARE THE GAME CHANGER..!!!

Looking forward into the next series!

Red thunder bushings the clear ones ,feel good but don't last long .

I think you will like the ace bushings for sure. They solved my bushing madness completely, they don't freeze, turn great, and don't explode. Such good bushings

DBC..Daily Blessings Coming! ... Tom Asta back at it... Killing it as usual..

Looking forward to the new part! Hope you figure out the bushing problem.

Bushings madness bro I feel ya !

Love these solo sessions Your skating is awesome

cant wait for the VX part yo🔥 also, you should make some trick tip videos like for kickflips and other tricks that you would like to do, those would be sickkkk

Can’t wait to see this new banger coming out!!

Try thunder white bushings 90du. Had the same problem with bones soft bushings blowing out after one session

I use two bones medium tops with a single provided washer at each end or the orange thunder bushings

i'm running thunders with an ace standard bottom and thunder 90a top bushing and i'm liking how they feel

Try the stock thunders but remove the bottom washer the one by the baseplate feels just like bones softs but last alot longer an really surfy when they want to be

With the bushings. I found that it is just the geometry of the trucks that break bushings. I bought some royal trucks. Which are kinda like a mid point between thunders and ventures. I've had them for half a year skating in the winter here in colorado and the bushings haven't broke. I do a lot of back and front crooks too. I really like how they feel so far. (They are royals 144 inverted kingpin)

I skate the white Indie softs! I used to skate the indie stocks. But I liked my trucks loose to the point of wobbling so I had to get my truck nut just barely finger tight to get the right feel but then the nuts would always fall off. The softs feel great right out of the box and I can actually get the same turning feel I used to while sufficiently tightening them, so my trucks no longer wobble and I can pop my tricks much more stably but the turning response feels like it used to when I'd let em wobble. Never skating another bushing.

Thank you for all these videos, I love it! I saw you Ollied down some stairs in other videos and it looked like slight B/S shifty, is that on purpose? I know some people have Ollie or kickflip with B/S shifty on them, but I'm just curious if that happens naturally. Good luck with your bushings though, can't wait to see the VX part too 👍

man I'm glad I haven't been the only one having issues with bones bushings lately. I get the hard ones and they are great until they they aren't. they just blow out so quick. hopefully the doh doh's are good - keen to try some different brands out. the thunder bushings are not it

Riptide bushings on the bottom, Ace classics bushings on the top. Stock Pivot cups.

im skating that fabiana deck right now too! Its my go to! Perfect wheel base and concave for all my spinny and flippy tricks!

Thanks TA! stock indy on bottom, bones soft on top. on pool board the top rear has bones hard, however.

Great content, per usual! Big fan from Alaska

ANY update on the board set up? like how are you lucking the Fabino deck?

Hell yeah tom. I just rock the clear purple bushings in the venture 5.3 highs. 💯👌✅ perfect bushings. I’m like 160-175

lol i wish it was friday. Stoked to see the vx part!

your ledge game is insane ,definitely made me wanna go out and practice.

I’d say try the royal bushings because those don’t freeze in the winter. Ben degro can confirm that.

After years of skating, (I am nowhere near as good like Tom 💀) I couldn’t skate for the last 10 months because cancer was whooping my ass 😂 did my first switch front pop earlier and the same joy I had 10 years ago came right back lol. Love these videos 💚

Hey Tom ! Great video, again 😊 About your bushings issues, did you ever try the Independent conicals bushings? I currently use to ride some of these on my Thunder Trucks, and they are pretty good !

we're the same body type(well used to be) and I skate loose too. I use the HARD bones bushings BUT I file the bottom ones down a bit and its PERFECT! 👌🏾

You gotta try Mini Logo bushings.

Tom is it cool if you can make a front feeble trick tip video ? your front feebs are sickk and would love to hear on how you do them cause that trick gives me mad troubles thanks man

def looking forward to a new part! also any updates on the progress of your new shape? maybe in the next vid

First pair of Indys couldn't do their bushing or Bones to soft so dropped in sum Thunder med's and are perfection well I think, love your vids cobba keep on killing it. ...

Please try out the new park in Pensacola, I went 2 weekends back to back, super good park

Venture trucks and stock venture bushings. They never blow out or freeze

from my experience with swapping bushings is to stick with the manufacturer bushings they just take longer to break in and they dont break

I skate thunder bushings. First stock and then I replace them with the mediums I think when they blow. What I don't like about them is that they are so impacted by temperature. In winter it's like skating with super hard trucks and in summer other people can't even ride around on my board because they're so loose ... haven't really experimented with bushings but thats the only part of my setup that could be improved to my liking ...

Bro you’re making me rethink my bushing setup, currently it’s a bones soft on bottom and medium on top, the Doh Dohs sound like a good idea too

Would love to see a rehab/strength training video! Currently coming back from too many hot pockets on my left foot. Overextended Achilles Tendon. Keep up the great content!

I am usually an ace rider but tried thunders recently, the only way for thunders to work for me was with an ace low bushing top and a regular ace bottom.

The white stock mini logo bushings that come with the mini logo trucks. Never had problems with mini logo trucks in general. The bushing I have on them are reaching 10 years with no issues. Not sure what would happen in the cold, though.

Im skating the Thunder Blue Bushing from the rebuild kit pretty solid for me.

Completely out there suggestion but you could check out forged hollow Indy mids. The height is close to a Thunder, the difference in weight isn't too noticeable, and there are more bushing options that work with the geometry. The turning is more consistent throughout the lean compared to Thunders where you squirrel out if you lean too hard and too fast.

That bank to ledge seems like it has a ton of untapped potential. KF front nose blunt?

Back tails have eluded me all my life. Also, sick hoodie

I like the hard Ace bushings

personally the bones I could not get used to because they sit high at the top of the nut , with ventures and the orange doh dohs and these things feel like it was made for ventures fits perfect and broken in the right amount of turning and softness for me. I did order two pairs for the future from shortys and they sent me the new style doh doh similar to bones , not sure if im gonna like those but ill try them later

bones bushings with normal washers the keep em from blowing

thanks for the video mr asta man

Tom, if you like a bushings with a good bounce back and something that can turn in the cold - I ride thunders and the bushings blew out - my buddy game me a ccs complete and I took the bushings off the trucks - they are dark blue and not transparent (almost black). They held up over the winter - turning great and I can get a good pop out of krooks, etc.

I rock red doh dohs on my destructo trucks. When I had venture I used blue shorty’s doh dohs. Good news for you is that Shorty’s just came out with their conical doh dohs again so hit them up to see which ones are right for you

Please do a bushing video. It's the silliest topic but your passion comes naturally and somehow it makes it interesting!

Love your videos bro. We actually went to 11th grade together "no cap" lmao. Been wishing you well since then, much love bro

Bones hard as lowers with Bones mid or standard mid bushings on top. I am heavy though and ride my trucks medium tight.

Any tips for popping higher with less effort ? I had a knee surgery, but my legs are not too hurt so why my pop is ds ?

Always a good watch 😎

Look forward to each video, you rip dude keep it goin!

What's up with how squeaky Indys are? I ride mini logo and its silent but my friend has some loud ass Indys- do they just need to be broken in more?

in thunders, I have bones hards on the bottom and med on top, but im 220 lbs, so that's probably not gonna work for u lol.

what would be your ollie tips for smoother and leveled ollie

Looks like a thunder low top bushing

The new Royal trucks have bushing that could be perfect for you. Kina loose and they don't freeze

you don’t have to skate the bushings IN the video but you should definitely do a video explaining the different combos and the pros and cons of each

Indy blue. Mediums.

I never got accustom to skating stairs honestly, Ive told the story of my inward heel down a 5 set on some bleachers, and that was like my best trick ever, which i mean come on its gnarly. Then i think i ollied an 7 or 8, and said naaa aint for me. But recently ive found alot of appreciation in long gaps, boned tricks, and more technical riding. I know the fact that there is a style to the trick is always considered but lately just the heater polarizer vibes are in full effect. Also the Use the stick as a tool for more trick is a genius way to put it, but the dexterity is wild hard. Also Fellow East Coast boy, might sound stupid af, but we used to soak your bushings in anti freeze. This isnt as stupid as it might sound, the science is there i just have no idea if it ever mattered, this was a thing with the guys i would longboard with, and i still use the same bushings, but they would plow the hills here and then if it got work a few of them would get beat on by the sun, throw on your snowboard gear, pad up and use a snowboard goggles etc, shit would slide and be so fun, but yea alot of guys would over night soak their wheels and bushins in anti freeze and swore by it.

Yo I highly recommend the Do Doh’s!… I’ve been skating them for years, I personally skate the med soft button and the soft top. And they work awesome for me, I also like kinda loose trucks but not rattling loose. I’ve also skated the bones softs, and basically had the same thing happen. They blew out in like four sessions…. I also live in upstate NY basically near Canada, and if it’s dry I skate in the winter months. It’s true that Do Doh’s don’t freeze and as I said I skate the softest ones. Blue is the softest then yellow, red black than I believe white is the hardest….

Ace low bushings on high trucks Matt Rod inspo

Why not just try ace trucks? Truck geometry also affects the turn no? Not just the bushings?

thunder white bushings man

yo! I live in Montréal, Canada and i skate aces af1. There's is definitely cold weather in spring and fall and these bushing have always felt fine trough it. As for surviving gaps, that i cant tell hahaha

Okay get Riptide bushings. Ima be watching youre bushing madness for awhile, and i figured it out for me personally for thunders finally. Riptide Krank formula. Short street cone o.4" top. Cone 0.6" bottom. They have the same straight away rebound as Bones but hold up crazy for real 👌 Variate youre own duro. I can tell that they act tiny bit harder than other bushings with same duro

About two months ago I started slamming every session, like weird slams where I didn't even break my fall or roll out of it like I usually would. Then I stopped working out, and then because of work, injury or weather I was only skating once a week. Now it's been over two weeks since I've skated. Right now I'm having some kind of skate life crisis and can't decide if I should just quit or only skate flat until I feel confident again.

i skate the hardest thunder bushings but i like tight trucks

Great video Tom, 🔥

nice session

remember to keep doing squat (without the jump) just straight and bend, so your knees always familiar with the body weight

Let’s go 🔥🤙🏻

Doh Dohs!

Sport that lint bro. :P I skate Bones hard bushings. I've been skating tight trucks for over a decade now.

Love the videos. But damn, the Sixers are killing me bro 😢 Oh well, at least we got 2 1st round talents at DB in the draft 🦅 hyped for this season

Stock Indy Bushings. Keep us updated!

Vx part ?! Hype !

Bones hard top bushing at the bottom, and tensor medium at the top. Turns great, tight back, medium front truck.

I skate bones hard bushings. I like pretty tight trucks and these don't seem to blow out on me.

I just bought soft bones.. and both of my top bushing exlpoded after One day…

i dont know why if i face a gap i feel scared but when i skate something to slide or grind to gap out i dont feel the same fear ! is crazy because i can do bs tail flip out gapping something but if i try a regular kikflip in the same spot can take half hour for land it...i miss something in the process!...

Can anyone explain why the wax line on the side of that ledge is so far down? I've been racking my brain for a while now trying to figure out how and why it's that low, and that straight of a line.

i went 12 years without skating just started up again its weird my mind knows what to do but my body just wont do it ( also im like 100 pounds heavier haha)

Liking the focus on the bushings becuse I can directly relate to what you are experiencing. A topic that deserves more focus in sakting IMO. Bad bushings is like driving a car with a missalignment...it's possible but better results and more enjoyable with your shit is lined up.

Just waiting for Tom Asta to make a montage of nothing but heat at this park and title the video "2pm in home park..."

only bones bushings
