I'm 30 years old skating in S.korea nowdays I feel tired way more earlier and take too long to recovered.. but I've spent half of my life with this wood, metal, poly shit and it become part of my life. Still love but hate this SKATEBOARD at the same time lol And thank you for the video I enjoying from overseas like 14,000km away❤❤

Skating gaps is fun... when you land your trick. 😂 i relate, i pretty much focus on ledge skating with the odd occasion that i hit a gap or stairs. Rails are totally foreign to me. Sick vid, cant wait to see the vx part!

With the bushings. I found that it is just the geometry of the trucks that break bushings. I bought some royal trucks. Which are kinda like a mid point between thunders and ventures. I've had them for half a year skating in the winter here in colorado and the bushings haven't broke. I do a lot of back and front crooks too. I really like how they feel so far. (They are royals 144 inverted kingpin)

your ledge game is insane ,definitely made me wanna go out and practice.

Doh Dohs!

I skate the white Indie softs! I used to skate the indie stocks. But I liked my trucks loose to the point of wobbling so I had to get my truck nut just barely finger tight to get the right feel but then the nuts would always fall off. The softs feel great right out of the box and I can actually get the same turning feel I used to while sufficiently tightening them, so my trucks no longer wobble and I can pop my tricks much more stably but the turning response feels like it used to when I'd let em wobble. Never skating another bushing.

Try thunder white bushings 90du. Had the same problem with bones soft bushings blowing out after one session

Tom is it cool if you can make a front feeble trick tip video ? your front feebs are sickk and would love to hear on how you do them cause that trick gives me mad troubles thanks man

I like the hard Ace bushings

Please try out the new park in Pensacola, I went 2 weekends back to back, super good park

we're the same body type(well used to be) and I skate loose too. I use the HARD bones bushings BUT I file the bottom ones down a bit and its PERFECT! 👌🏾

nice session

I use two bones medium tops with a single provided washer at each end or the orange thunder bushings

i'm running thunders with an ace standard bottom and thunder 90a top bushing and i'm liking how they feel

Completely out there suggestion but you could check out forged hollow Indy mids. The height is close to a Thunder, the difference in weight isn't too noticeable, and there are more bushing options that work with the geometry. The turning is more consistent throughout the lean compared to Thunders where you squirrel out if you lean too hard and too fast.

The white stock mini logo bushings that come with the mini logo trucks. Never had problems with mini logo trucks in general. The bushing I have on them are reaching 10 years with no issues. Not sure what would happen in the cold, though.

I skate thunder bushings. First stock and then I replace them with the mediums I think when they blow. What I don't like about them is that they are so impacted by temperature. In winter it's like skating with super hard trucks and in summer other people can't even ride around on my board because they're so loose ... haven't really experimented with bushings but thats the only part of my setup that could be improved to my liking ...

Okay get Riptide bushings. Ima be watching youre bushing madness for awhile, and i figured it out for me personally for thunders finally. Riptide Krank formula. Short street cone o.4" top. Cone 0.6" bottom. They have the same straight away rebound as Bones but hold up crazy for real 👌 Variate youre own duro. I can tell that they act tiny bit harder than other bushings with same duro

Yeah in Team hollows 148 will fit proper and nut flush. But you need to hit the right duro for you, cause this Krank formula does not squeeze in like others. Theyre pretty solid and stiff. But you can still adjust it with higher/lower or flat washers to youre exact liking

Tom, if you like a bushings with a good bounce back and something that can turn in the cold - I ride thunders and the bushings blew out - my buddy game me a ccs complete and I took the bushings off the trucks - they are dark blue and not transparent (almost black). They held up over the winter - turning great and I can get a good pop out of krooks, etc.

Just waiting for Tom Asta to make a montage of nothing but heat at this park and title the video "2pm in home park..."

personally the bones I could not get used to because they sit high at the top of the nut , with ventures and the orange doh dohs and these things feel like it was made for ventures fits perfect and broken in the right amount of turning and softness for me. I did order two pairs for the future from shortys and they sent me the new style doh doh similar to bones , not sure if im gonna like those but ill try them later

Venture trucks and stock venture bushings. They never blow out or freeze

I never got accustom to skating stairs honestly, Ive told the story of my inward heel down a 5 set on some bleachers, and that was like my best trick ever, which i mean come on its gnarly. Then i think i ollied an 7 or 8, and said naaa aint for me. But recently ive found alot of appreciation in long gaps, boned tricks, and more technical riding. I know the fact that there is a style to the trick is always considered but lately just the heater polarizer vibes are in full effect. Also the Use the stick as a tool for more trick is a genius way to put it, but the dexterity is wild hard. Also Fellow East Coast boy, might sound stupid af, but we used to soak your bushings in anti freeze. This isnt as stupid as it might sound, the science is there i just have no idea if it ever mattered, this was a thing with the guys i would longboard with, and i still use the same bushings, but they would plow the hills here and then if it got work a few of them would get beat on by the sun, throw on your snowboard gear, pad up and use a snowboard goggles etc, shit would slide and be so fun, but yea alot of guys would over night soak their wheels and bushins in anti freeze and swore by it.

ANY update on the board set up? like how are you lucking the Fabino deck?

you don’t have to skate the bushings IN the video but you should definitely do a video explaining the different combos and the pros and cons of each

Liking the focus on the bushings becuse I can directly relate to what you are experiencing. A topic that deserves more focus in sakting IMO. Bad bushings is like driving a car with a missalignment...it's possible but better results and more enjoyable with your shit is lined up.

Yo I highly recommend the Do Doh’s!… I’ve been skating them for years, I personally skate the med soft button and the soft top. And they work awesome for me, I also like kinda loose trucks but not rattling loose. I’ve also skated the bones softs, and basically had the same thing happen. They blew out in like four sessions…. I also live in upstate NY basically near Canada, and if it’s dry I skate in the winter months. It’s true that Do Doh’s don’t freeze and as I said I skate the softest ones. Blue is the softest then yellow, red black than I believe white is the hardest….

Bones hard as lowers with Bones mid or standard mid bushings on top. I am heavy though and ride my trucks medium tight.

Sport that lint bro. :P I skate Bones hard bushings. I've been skating tight trucks for over a decade now.

in thunders, I have bones hards on the bottom and med on top, but im 220 lbs, so that's probably not gonna work for u lol.

Looks like a thunder low top bushing

remember to keep doing squat (without the jump) just straight and bend, so your knees always familiar with the body weight

Indy blue. Mediums.

About two months ago I started slamming every session, like weird slams where I didn't even break my fall or roll out of it like I usually would. Then I stopped working out, and then because of work, injury or weather I was only skating once a week. Now it's been over two weeks since I've skated. Right now I'm having some kind of skate life crisis and can't decide if I should just quit or only skate flat until I feel confident again.
