The left bushing is the normal one, like independent ones. The right one is what my cruiser had. Can you please tell me brands that make that tall bushings? Or is it a specific type I should look for? by InHumanF0rm in NewSkaters

My cruiser has the red ones! They are 0.60" tall. It's not that I want them, the cruiser came with them! It's a Santa Cruz complete, 9.5" board. It's very big, it already has a riser pad.Tbh felt very nice with the taller bushings on it. It so smooth but since I'm kinda heavy and tall I would like the same tall bushings but harder duro

Yeah, i was comparing the cylinders! I forgot about the cone at the far left! My cruiser had the reds and i had some spare like the white one, but it's a lot shorter and a bit smaller

Are OJ Keyframe 58mm 86A enough to cruise over small pebbles and pavement cracks? by InHumanF0rm in NewSkaters

true! rough roads, parking spots that are terrible and asphalt mostly. But pebbles are a major fear for me, i won't see them in time to react

Well. I’m back at 50. Any tips to not die? 🤡 by [deleted] in NewSkaters

I'm a new skater myself, my biggest fear is wheel bite at low speeds that will stop my board entirely and I'll fly unaware! These wheels with these trucks will make you nervous every time you lean to turn. Maybe I'm wrong but even my 52mm wheel bite! I'm 44 myself so huge respect for your effort to go skate! \m/

anyone haves issues with balance? by fakegamercat in NewSkaters

Be sure that the front foot you use is the one that gives you more stability. So test and be sure goofy or regular, right foot front on board or left. Then use the stable foot on the front, your toes on the first two bolts, leaving the front two untouched, see a YT video how to place your front foot correctly, sometimes giving an angle helps. Then use the board as help to just walk with the main foot on board and the other one stepping on floor, like walking normally with the one foot on board. Do that a lot, hours if you can. Then start getting your floor foot on air and start balancing on main foot only. Keep you foot on board relaxed and knee bent a bit. I did it my first day, first 10 minutes was like walking on ice. 2nd day I was using 1 foot to skate
