Agreed. I have the Bubble Gum pink Holey Bushings (Hourglass shape,) and those suckers are cranked down. It is the carviest ride ever, and I have like a 2ft turning radius. Its insane. But also stable and incredibly responsive (hourglass.) I highly recommend for those of you who like the loose feel for carving, and dislike having to tighten up your trucks to kill the slop for a 25mph hill.

I have the stock, but im thinking of upgrading so i can at least try to pump.
For the record, i have a drop through star 9 by sector 9. (I know secrot 9 isnt the best compants, but the board has held up nicely.)

Not at all good to be honest. At least get some Khiros.

I used to ride my trucks super loose, till i got my trackers with orange khiro's and new 72mm wheels on my hypercarve i got wheelsbite at the rear trucks.. now they turn alot less..

lmao!

I tighten stock randal until there is no slop. Tighten half a turn for park or hill.

looser than Madonna after spending a romantic getaway with Shaq.

Not any Khiros. They are not reboundy enough for pumping IMO. Get some Holey Hourglass bushings. Bubble gum pink ones are really good, but maybe too soft for most. The shape of these makes a big difference. They seem a lot softer than the average 78a bushing.

they get shredded too damn fast.

Loose enough to turn and carve effortlessly, but not too loose to where you are all sketchy and shifty when pushing...

**lfatboy** · 07-14-2009 09:00 AM

My trucks are loose.

**Cann0n** · 07-14-2009 09:54 AM

As loose as godly possible. I like to be able to stick a credit card between the wheels and deck during turning. I mean loose... When I do some freestyle dancing or DH, I tighten them a turn and a half or se.

A vanguard will never reach its full potential with tight trucks!

**omgwtfhumpingjellybeans** · 07-14-2009 10:19 AM

Rattle-y loose that when you push it on its own, it comes alive and turns on its own

**arubadub** · 07-14-2009 10:31 AM

Loose enough, but not too loose. I like a smooth semi-silent ride

Thats how i like my women.

**partninjas** · 07-14-2009 07:05 PM

I always have them just tight enough to not be sloppy/loose ( to start at least ). Maybe a half to full turn of the KP nut tighter than that usually though.
