    Question What bushings do you run on your slide deck?

    ok so I've known for some time about different bushings and their purpose, but I've never run any bushings besides what comes stock in my trucks. This includes all my trucks from DH to Slide to freeride decks (Indy's, Bears and randals)

    My question is this. I'm running Indy 169's on my slide deck.. super loose with a #### ton of lean in them. I like my set-up but I am curious what bushing other people run?
    Just to get an idea if I should try something new or just leave it how it is.

    The fish recommended me bones hard core and I love them. I weigh 160lbs and got the mediums. Pretty carvy after they broke in.

    I was running Bones black tops with Khiro PURPLE barrels for a few months. Lately I decided 99a barrels are a bit much (), so I think i may tone it down a bit

    anyone try reflex's in some standard, non-hybrid Indy's? Seems like they would fit great with a small cone top, tall cone bottom. Don't get me wrong, I love the feel on bones blacks in Indy's, but......

    @Jmasta Reflex's are real tall and shift the pivot over. Ran it boardside without washer. They are awesome though. Guy I know uses reflex+indys on his avenger.

    I use a red 90a venom barrel boardside and a purple khiro short cone roadside front. Red Khiro barrel and purple khiro short cone on the back. Reason for the mismatch is that I just haven't found my other venom barrel. :| oh, and softer boardside is the only set up i've had where I could get more lean without wheelbite.

    Yup, I did. The short cone is not that short at all. I had to bang the KP out and use something longer.

    I F'in hate stock indy bushings, plus at my 185 lbs i tend to blow them out rather easily, therfore i run the awesome bones hardcore (hard for myself = black, most people yellow = medium)



    also have them in my park board and used to have them on my zip zinger.

    Basically if you have indy's these will make the ride 100 times better, plus any halfway decent skate shop should stock em

    Flat washers, venom eliminator red bottom, trimmed to fit sabre green barrel top on stock indy kingpins. Feels sexy, but doesn't wheelbite, even with my 200lbs.
