They are good. Real good. The soft ones fall apart fast tho. Yellow medium with no washers. So nice!

What do people hate about Indy bushings?  They seem okay to me after theyre broken in.

Negative.  Never thought the bushings mattered much.

I think the hard are better...when I had the medium in my trucks were super loose and if i tightened them to medium ish they broke.

the hard ones i dont have to tighten at all and my trucks are already medium tight

If they broke that's because you cranked them down way too much. I like them loose so I go with yellow.

Jimmy thinks that can mean one of two things.  Either you're really good or you're really shitty.

You have to break them in! Bones are hot right out of the box.

Try em... you'll see what I'm talking about.

Yellow is medium...and I really didn't crank them down that much. I left them completely loose to break in for a full month, and slightly tightened them up, and they popped.

The hards seem good they're not tight or anything and they aren't breaking since they're not tightened at all.

Indy stock are fine.  Breaking in trucks is not that hard for me.

Some techy-geek over at Bones is reading this and feeling REALLY good right now!  This should be renamed the "Bones bushing appreciation thread".

I got 149 Indys, I like to ride them more tight than loose and I've had the Bones bushings, the hard ones, for one session but I have to say they are pretty damn good. The boards feels snappier as the trucks return more quickly from turning. Though I have no idea how they will feel in long term but the first feel was that I'll always ride these things.
If the first session feels like you don't have to worry about shit, I think then you're on the something good.

Just got my mediums and went riding on 'em last night. The difference is pretty remarkable. The trucks are a ton mo' snappy...different feel altogether than the stocks that came on my Indy 149's. To the people at Bones, you can send my check to 7130 Syc......endtransmission

bones is not the only game in town.
khiro and grind king make the same type of bushing.


anyway, i skate stock ones that come with indy, they're great as is.
