Check what the local surf/skate shop had in stock!
Some Bear Green Longboard Urethane bushings.....
Just stood on the board after fitting all four suspension arms (took like 5 minutes to do all 4) and it feels SO good...excited to try out on the
beach....standby for results!!
I think the bushings should provide more "return to center" feeling also...like this board isn't cooshy enough in it's stock configuration....the
overall loading on the new bushings feels even better....we'll see out on the beach next round...
Pic shows bottom wheel before....top wheel is mod with new GREEN...
stack them, compress them , the higher the durometer the better.
They WORK!

FYI - Greens work....now I gotta get the T-Shirt...LOL...
Think they're 93a Duro...
I was pulling faster then cars doing 25mph in 13mph wind...with my 12M Rhino...
Did I mention it looks cool too? LOL..
Wondering if I can find a matching paint for the hubs!!bigkid - 19-6-2012 at 06:50 AM
crazyherb,
I like the green also, don't like the price though. Those are 83a. We are working on the same idea with 2 options for the durometer, 83 and 102.
Hope to have it as a modify accessory for around 18.00 for the set. Does green and pink work for you or green and yellow?
I have a couple of demo shirts for cheep if you are interested, lightly used only twice. Only on grass, not the beach.
VIDEO!

I expect so. The company has stock and custom cast material... prototype and high volume quantities. Basically all they do is urethane.
Their contact info is:
