what bushings to get

[pono55]

i have a 28 by 7.5 inch board with fultracks and tunnel soft rocks. it is like and oldschool/slalom board and i wanted to get khiro bushings. i am 160 lbs and i like them to be able to deep carve really effortlesly and pump well, which ones should i get?

[Rustyfriend]

get the big bad bushing kit #1. it has every color khiro that they make and has lots of each color...only about $27

does the softer duro mean that it turns more easily and deeper

[chaindog]

yes, for you khiro blues and whites are gonna be the charm for pumping and carving.

hey sounds like my setup. i've got red/blue back and blue/white front. you might wanna run both reds in the back though since you weigh a bit more than me.

does putting different duro bushings on the front than in the bakc give an advantage?

Well, a softer bushing is going to mean a quicker turning truck. Generally for carving, pumping... and pretty much everything else, people prefer the front truck to turn quicker than the back. It makes the ride more stable without really sacrificing much handling.

It can. You can use a firmer setup in the rear to enhance the longboard-like front-biased steering that enables you to go fast and turn quick. By the way, check out Khiro's "Silverfish" kit. It's got all the bushings you need, and costs you half of what a Big Bad Bushing Kit does. You'll find it on the Sk8Kings.com site, among others.
