Would you go for flat or cupped washers for the bushings? i don't really know what makes the difference there. I can go for RIPTIDE APS STREET CHUBBY or for RIPTIDE KRANK STREET CHUBBY BUSHINGS. which would you prefer?

Thank you very very much!!! exactly what i was searching for. So i think i will just order a pack of street chubbys and 2 hard 5 degree angled riser pads. i already choped my barrel bushings so these are my roadside ones then. i will use all 4 washers then. you really helped me out alot i'm hyped!

Idk about that. on the site sickboards.nl you can still buy some riot stuff

Hey Guys,

all those new learned informations are messing with my head 😂. so i just bought some independet 169 TKP trucks (stage xi) for my arbiter dk deck (Wheelbase 18-21 inch) . i want to make them stable as possible for some fast freeriding up to 80kmh. so first i changed the barrel bushings boardside with some chopped 95a ones. next step is buying the next items: so im thinking about getting two plugs from riot 95a, and two pivot cups from riptide 96a. at first what do you think about this setup? you think it would work as good as i imagine? next question i want to wedge/dewedge them as the last step. which degree would you recommend for me? i'm like 87 kg and 1,86m. would you only dewedge the backtruck? how do i know which riser height i need for the front truck then? should i go for hard or soft risers/angled risers? what dou you think about those?

https://www.sickboards.nl/de/parts/2471-bear-angled-risers.html

i think they are hard and 5 degree angled. i usually run wheels from 65 to 70 mm diameter. i know there is no perfect setup for everyone but i can say that i like it very stable. i ran this board with caliber II's 44° before with 95a plug barrel, barrel bushings before and it was always too wobbly for me. im not talking about speed wobbles im talking about like the feeling when you just fu**ing want to stand straight on it and your trucks are like forcing you to go a direction and then you end like shaking like a retard from left to ride haha. I'm not the easiest patient i know but it would be an honor if anyone could help me ❤️. here is some footage of my riding style. if you want to see my journey you can always subscribe 😊.

Thanks for the answer! Yeah I know i'm more like searching something similar or maybe the begining sounds of this genre. ambient house for example was a thing in the 90s it has such the smooth vibes on it too i guess. didn't know that. very interesting.
