    Default Reversing bushing combos?

    So one of my friends has been trying to convince me to 'flip' the bushing combo on the back truck, i.e running yellow barrel top/red barrel bottom in the front, but red barrel top/yellow barrel bottom in the back. My question is; why? I tried it, and didn't feel a difference but he claims that it's 'better'. Thoughts?
    Yup...I gots me some longboards.

    I like Soda Factory

    I hate the verb "freeride".

    My experience of running a harder combo in the front is that the board drifts like crazy
    "Yeah, we got like Grimwich Alpine Trucks, Yeah Um"

    No matter how he tried, he could not break free and the worms ate into his brain

    There is no "better". Just what is "better" for you.

    Exactly; as I and many others say, it's personal preference. Do what you want and eventually you'll figure out what works for you.
