carving bushing with lots of rebound

**jbham184** · 11-07-2009 03:48 PM

I'm trying to decide between soft eliminators or soft venom DH bushings.

this is for my heist and i like to run my randals nice and loose

**Brute379** · 11-07-2009 06:18 PM

Try both!

I like runnuing soft elims on bottom and softer barrels on top.

I like the rebound in the Reflex barrels a whole bunch.

**AdmiralButterCrust** · 11-07-2009 07:12 PM

Yeah, I like Reflexes a lot for that too.

what does the eliminator shape do?

**howdyrowdy** · 11-07-2009 09:13 PM

I have good experiences carving on 79a Khiro cones, 86a to 88a Sabre cone/barrel combo, and 78a to 87a Venom super carves.

There's simple more urethane, so it bounces back easier. But if you're going to go with Elim/jim/stim shape bushings, go a little lower than you normally would weith a barrel, because again, there's more urethane there so it will be harder to compress.

like I use 85-82a barrel shape for DH.

and I use 81-80a JimZ bushings for DH too.

what do you have against cones?

i've always thought running double barrels for carving was an outdated concept, one that originates from pre-venom ages, when khiro barrels were pretty much the best we could get.

i haven't tried sabres yet, but my current and favorite setup is venom cone bottom, softer reflex top, tightened a little bit more past the no-slop tightness.

Front 79a Khiro cone- 81a Venom Barrel
Back 81a Venom Cone- 85a Venom cone.

I make due with what I got... happily

Agreed the purple barrels are "bouncy bouncy fun times" I rather love them for my carve cruiser.

Your weight does play a part in how much rebound you get. How much do you weigh?
Im around 125 so here's my experience

Get blue venom standards (78a)
Standards are nice because the barrel gives you more rebound while the cone gives you better carving.

Also, loosen the back truck more than the front (unorthodox but really nice/interesting ride... very responsive, though not as stable at speeds)

blue standards + randals + loose back = awesome, deep carving, great rebound, and easier slides

Agree with Reflex

**jbham184** · 11-09-2009 04:16 PM

ok i weigh 160 and im thinking about getting sabres now, but im debating between the 88a/86a combo or just the 88a double barrels

right now i have 92a khiros and i am ok with them, i just want some more rebound

**Spaz1987** · 11-09-2009 04:27 PM

try running with a harder cone like... 95-97. i know it sounds rediculous, but if you put it on the bottom flipped upside down, it still gives you nice turnability since its flipped... but the harder duro gives it AMAZING return to center. and a 90 or so cone on top of course. most amazing carving set-up ive found so far.

**snozzboarder55** · 11-09-2009 04:34 PM

i havent tried sabres and dont know their duros but as for venoms...

81a bottom 85a top.

again this is all dependent on your weight, choose the shape you would like, however i say stay away from elims on the bottom as they are more restricting and will limit turn.

soft bottom + hard top = great rebound!
