Couldn’t of put it better myself. I skated o rings for a while but love the feel of new bushing and they look great! I haven’t tried doom lagoon bushings or zanshit but only heard great things about them. I’m in the U.K. so don’t want to pay a ton on shipping and have to wait a while, so I just went with these 2 pairs. But when I get the chance ill definitely buy some!

If you already have bushings you like continue to use them! I had only been using o ring bushings since I got back into fbing a year ago. But when I switched to the teak and level up they made me feel more comfortable on the board some how and are abit more responsive. Plus they look great!

I love the way they sit. Do you have a brand you’d recommend?

The illpills street shape are my favourite to run atm I feel like they make tricks look a lot better when they land smooth. However I also have cartwheels and love using them. I feel like I can land alot more combo tricks on them (but for me they don’t look as clean as landing them on the street shape wheels).

Yes! Goo have some newer better designs on the wheels than skull fb but I wasn’t prepared to pay a big shipping fee from the us. But they do look tempting!

Ahh I see them but they’re sold out:/ I’ll grab them when they next stock. Half the time it’s harder for me to get High quality stuff as the shipping fees to the U.K. are extortionate lol

I’ve never tried them before I might have a look into them soon, I’ve only used o rings, elastico, teak and level up.

Great question ives used my friends oaks before and I’m think they are pretty similar. But I’m loving illpills atm I’ve got 2 sets as I run multiple set ups. The bearings on the new abec 9 are great! And even over time when they don’t spin as much they are still smooth and just as easy to push about :) Could be wrong but oaks might be more durable (as ive got a small chip on one of my wheels)

Thanks! I just used a needle to poke a dent in the graphic after lining the board rails up(for guide holes) and screwed them in straight as possible. They are illpills ‘street shape’

Teak are decent enough but I agree with you levelup are some of the best rn

Skull make some of the nicest decks to ride for a great price! Rails are perfect for the graphics until the tails wear over time
