these bushings are great for downhill skating...they lock the hanger in place so there are virtually no wobbs, and they're really turny at low speeds too. again, the size is somewhat prohibitive on certain trucks...but that's what makes them absolutely shine on other trucks. i kinda wish they came with appropriate sized flat washers, cuz the built-in washer is FAR too small. for best results, i've found that you gotta run a flat washer that nearly matches the diameter of the bushing.

great quality urethane, i'll admit...but keep in mind i've only ridden the blue (hardest) duro. they make for a really great bottom bushing...tons of rebound, super-stable (yet really carvy too). the one weakness i've noticed that the shape doesn't fit a lot of conventional-pivot trucks...they even have difficulty fitting as a top bushing on tracker trucks (somewhat odd, cuz they're made by tracker). and, as an added bonus, they don't feel much different when you ride them in cold temps!

these bushings are GREAT...that is IF AND ONLY IF you find another bushing to couple them with. if you run only the superballs on a truck, they feel quite dead (especially the blue and green duro's). i've had best results using a superball top and another bushing (usually khiro, or stim) on the bottom.
the feeling of the bushings is quite dead, but they do hold their shape well even under the tightest of kingpins (which is quite a plus...like i said, for mixing). so, if you do invest in a pair of these, please buy another set of bushings to mix and match with.
