    Default Let's see 'em/hear about 'em.

    Your bushing configurations for your slalom boards.
    Tell us about them and how it handles, or pic it, explain and then tell us how it handles. Anyway you want it.
    And any bushing mod you guys may have done.
    I ride the stock black tracker rts/x bushings.
    They turn well-ish, but I'm not exactly an expert.
    They squeak a little too much for my liking thou.
    So yea...
    Go for it.

    Front truck: lathed down soft yellow Stim on bottom, Khiro white barrel on top. Wonderful feel, nice rebound and perfect turn for my 165lbs.

    Rear truck: lathed down hard blue Stim on bottom, Khiro blue barrel on top. I've yet to get to skate it, the weather here sucks, but I think it'll be alright. Feels good just cruising around the basement.

    (This might get a better response in either the Trucks or Slalom forums)

    Cornering/Sliding board:

    rear Avenger truck, no bushings, just stacked washers - totally rigid. Front truck has stock medium hard bushings. The ride is uber stable, and gives greater control (IMHO) for cornering and slides. Going to try stacked washers on BOTH trucks, so it will force me to slide and drift to turn at all times. (im wierd, yes)

    Cruising boards (Landy Wedgeflex, handmade Gothic style board and one 6 footer):

    Stock R2's, stock yeller bushings.

    Carving board #1 (FLexDex 41)

    R2 trucks, White JimZ bushings (dyed neon blue to match wheels). suppa carvy!!

    Carving board #2

    (Landy Chief with S10 Originals) Not applicable

    SpeedBoard #1 (Rayne DemonSeed)

    R2 180 trucks, stock yeller bushings on the front, medium hard black bushings on the rear, flipped hanger.

    Speedboard/DH #2 (Rayne DemonSeed):

    red Crails, stock yellow MOOG bushings on the front, stock yellow MOOG bushing on the rear, with a JimZ white bushing on the top) cant remember why i did this set up but it works well for me.

    ButtBoard (Darren Lott CLASSIC)

    184mm avenger trucks, rock hard black bushings front and rear, soon to be yellow MOOG bushings on the rear, for easier lean turning.
