    Question Downhill and Carving Bushing Setup

    I'm gonna be super specific to get answer i need so.....

    I have a 40" Drop through with Paris 180 50 degree trucks and
    I NEED HELP ON MY BUSHING SETUP.

    I weigh 115.
    I want to be able to do mad carves but still be stable for bombing huge hills.

    Specificaly I want to be able to turn around in 1-2 parking spaces but still be stable at speeds up to 45 MPH. So please tell me what bushing setup would let me do this or close to this.

    I'm going with the Venom brand. So PLZ could tell me specifically what I need.
    (Durometer,Type,Position,Washers,Anything and Everything)

    This is what I was thinking Yellow 85a Barrels Boardside and Blue 78a Barrels Roadside.....But I don't know shiit so plz help me....

    You'll have to buy some and experiment. "Stable" for you may not be "stable" for someone else, even if they're the same weight/height. Stance, technique, etc. all come into factor.

    I'd look at a modded elim bottom/cone top combo. Try 81a elim and 85a cones to start.

    Modded elim:

    There is no bushing combo on earth that will magically do that......
    Being stable at 45mph is up to you, not the bushings.
    Find some Venom barrels that makes your setup turn enough for you, tighten them a little for bombing and learn to be stable and confident on that setup, that's all you can do.

    Blix is correct (as usual) but a place to start ..I recommend Yellow barrel bottom/Blue cone top
