106mm Tracker RT-X
Abec11 78a green bushing bottom
Lathed yellow Stim top
Flat washers all around

Who needs Radikal trucks? Not me.

Green bushing courtesy of my buddy Winchester. That 78a Gumball will definitely not be missed .

[small hippo1]

hahah thats sick. how many you guys make?

[bpz]

He got four out of one Gumball, they were giving him tons of trouble. Only like 1 or 2 came out real nice. We need to figure out a method to doing them right. Unfortunately I don't have access to the lathe and other helpful tools at my school until next year Chapstick suggested 77mm Strikers over Gumballs, because the hub in the Gumball sticks up right in the middle of the wheel, which you don't get with Strikers. We might pick up some singles from Abec11.

It aint the bushings that makes them what they is, but that bushing looks sweet man. Pretty killer!

[Gimp Skool]

No, it's the being owned by massive nerds with too much cash that makes them what they is.

[Directive0]

atleast I can ride a set without falling down and dinging up an expensive foam core, you GIMP.

[Gimp Skool]

That's cos you're not punk rock.

[bpz]

Haha, okay, now back to all you ****ers being jealous of my Abec11 bushing.

[revelation2]

I really, really like that.

If you can make four bushings out of a striker, and strikers go for 12 bucks apiece, then that's like $3 a bushing!

Sweet.

[Longbord1]

ask rustyburrito. i know he has a blemd set of strikers that im sure hed love to get rid of!

[Astronomical]

1. Make more bushings.
2. Sell on B&S.
3. ???
4. Profit.

[bpz]

No way I'd buy a whole set of Strikers of the same duro... we'd definitely get some 75a's, 81a's, 88a's... Too much work and hassle to try to make any profit. Do 'em yourselves - I wanted this to be an inspiration thread!

[Astronomical]

Aww but I want a couple and there's only a lathe at the MS and the shop teacher is a gigantic ****.

[bpz]

Marshall used a drill press with a hole saw and a file. No need for a lathe, although they will clean them up very nicely.

when i said blemmed i ment the core on one was not centered.

[zaphod911]

ive never seen a lathe in my life. is it me, or is my high school the only school that didnt have a shop class?

I still need a drill press and a hole saw then... D:

[bpz]

Yeah. I know what blemmed means. I wouldn't buy a whole set because I'm sure the whole set he has are all the same duro. Who wants 16 bushings all of the same hardness? Not I, said the ghoul. I was saying we'd buy a single 75a Striker, a single 81a Striker, etc, to get a bunch of bushings of varying durometers.

[Longbord1]

o i thought u thought that the wheel had blemed thane and was therefore a wierd duro.

thats why we love you Longbord1, you make crazy assumptions that make us laugh.
