Whenever I have a doubt about a bushing setup, I stick one of these suckers in and it normally fixes the problem(s). They are great for carving and all that jazz, but not the best for DH. All of their qualities are higher than you would expect for a stock bushing. For stock bushings they are very impressive and will not leave you disappointed.

These bushings are great for everything. The amount of rebound they harness is useful not only for downhill, but for carving and pumping. They work best on reverse kingpin trucks (i'm running black bottoms on my Bears and black tops on my Bennets. These are arguably the best bushings you could buy (especially for DH) and just make sure you get some flat washers (especially for the top) and you'll be all set.

If you want to bomb a mountain or a huge hill, this is is the deck for you. If you want to hit the cones or want to bomb your 20 mph hills, then this isn't really the deck for you.
Longboard Review How long have you ridden the board: About 7 monthsWhat is your setup like?: Bear 840 front, 852 back. JimZ bushings, Seismic Blastwaves (white 79a, blue cores), Bones Swiss.Typical Session Discipline: DH, LDPHow much did you pay?: Around 230Where did you purchase it?: Milehighskates.comWhat were the strengths of the deck.: It is a stable tank that is one of the most stable out there. I am confident to hit any hill with this deck. Maneuvers well considering how stable it is (due to the wedge in the front). It is also nice and low (which is why I use it for pushing sometimes).What were the weaknesses?: Because of the de-wedge in the back that gives it stability, it takes away a lot of maneuverability. It is also very heavy (about 11 LBS fully setup).Similar decks you have ridden?: DH race, KebbeK Caften.Would you recommend it?:
Yes

They do excellent bussiness, Mark does a really nice job and keeping everyone informed about everything (along with his staff). He keeps the site up to date and gives away some freebe's every month or so. They use FedEx (which in my experience is 1 day faster) so that is a bonus. If I had to say anything negative, is that he doesn't carry a large number of companies, but pretty much every company I would want to order from, they have on their site.
Retailer Reviews What did you buy?: I have bought numerous equipment as well as a Drifter and an Evo.When did you buy it?: 6 months ago and 1 month agoHow much did you spend?: uhmm about 350?Was the site easy to navigate if the purchase was online?: It sure wasDid the purchase go smoothly?: YupDid you feel like they appreciated your business?: mhmWould You recommend them in the future?: thats why i'm writing this now

I really dig the clear appearance and construction of the formula...
Seriously, they work wonderfully, they keep your balls spinning, shiny, and rolling smoothly. 2 drops takes care of everything for about 4 months of daily riding, then you'll start to notice some slowing. Results 6 - 10 of 23
