Finally got it Soft Randal bushing at the lower front hard at the back this creates a 75 percent fkex fore and aft then medium medium hard (at the top!) this is at the rear ! at the rear Front is three medium Rocks I'm very heavy
Yeeesss, I did this today Thank God. I ride soft on the bottom and and extra soft on the top (it the board is upside down). They work perfect together and bend equally
Thanks for the video, it was very helpful! I'm curious what your weight is, I know that affects the ride of your board and which bushings you should get.
Hello I put 95 doh doh boardside with stock roadside , still too loose next day 98 boardside 95 roadside now its great I weigh 69 kilos , stiffer bushings boardside is better
Nice, yeah back truck I ride 95/95 and front 95/89. whatever feels comfortable, I find sidewinders feel best when they as soft as you can ride while still comfortable, helps with sharp turns etc
I have a sector nine shoots longboard with a Goldwing sidewinder trucks so the stock bushings are very hard the fun factor. It’s just not there. yes I am experimenting with softer bushings almost can turn the sport into a surf skate or very flowing. Kind of like a snowboard but be very careful if you pick up speed down a hill or choose to do something like that I can get very wobbly and out of control. I wouldn’t recommend doing that not on these trucks and not at my age either. Wanna be safe
Thanks for your very helpful videos. I've gotten a Sector 9 Shoots with the Sidewinder trucks, with the standard bushings I suppose. Never having customized my bushings I hoped to only have to play with how tight the trucks are but I've noticed that after half a turn to a turn already the bolts are flush with the end of their rods. Does this mean I shouldn't go further and would need to play with bushings instead? Also, on a Shoots, do you think it's ok to have a rather loose back truck or might it be dangerous? (On top of maneuverability, I'm trying to get some surfskate pumping movement, with weight on the back foot).
so you should only tighten trucks to the point where the bushings/washers are not jiggling around and then give half a turn to "lock" everything in place. if you over tighten trucks you will loose the full turning potential and also the ride will feel off. rather play with the bushings. the shoots is similar to the board I ride in the video so loose trucks will be fine, but I suggest that your back truck has slightly harder bushings than the front truck this will give you the best surf skate feeling as you will turn more from the front. the pump on the shoots will be different than on a surf skate because the dimensions and truck geometry is quite different
Yea let me know too, I’m planning to get that $20 dime bag set but afraid they’re not gonna have soft enough ones, I plan on using them with my carver cx too and that’s a surf skate that probably needs less than 88A bushing
@@BluLemon hello when I changed to 95 roadside 98 boardside I thought it would be stiff , but its close to perfect , no loss of turn possibly more because you dont need to over compress the bushings as with the original 89a s
I am GOOD at setting boards up These do mu head in How about an extra 3mm on the king pin !!!! It would be sooo wasy to aet up oh and if like me you are ...big then buy pivot cups and change them regularly (indis work but are like making love to a woman just gave birth so PLEASE make a decent one Gulwing
