How did swapping out the bushings change the turn for ya? I wish Royal offered something a bit harder it seems like most people that like medium Indy's end up cranking them a bit.

It was a real pain to cut the ace top bushing to the same size man..
But it was worth it.
The og ones just melted away at 30 degree Celsius. They became way to unstable.
But I dig this new combo. Turn is still great, basically almost the same . But now I can ride them with an almost flush nut. Backtruck at little more than flush.
Before I had to crank them down way to much for my liking.
For me definitely an upgrade.
You can't buy happiness but you can buy a Skateboard.

I tried a set of standard AF1 bushings in these and it works great if you want something a little firmer without having to cut the top bushing.

Does having your rail all the way on the edge like that work for you? I just started running single rail and I’ve been running mine much farther in

Idk how it changes how it skates but it’s just how my dad always used to skate his rails back in the day. So far it’s been doing pretty well though. I’m still sliding on rails/curbs smoothly

They do look clean.

I had to do a double take with that Beyond sticker.  Been a while since I was over in W.A. though, but Beyond is a rad shop.

I talk too much about skateboards.  Sorry.

Missed skating a punk point a lot.




Black Label Jason Adams Curb Shark Punk Point 9.5" x 32.75" with 14 5/8"WB
Indy standards 159 with 92a top bushing and 90a bottom bushing
Powell Peralta G-Slides 56mm 85a (using these till my ankle heals completely, then I'm switching them to NFG MFG 54mm 52D Vee Shape)
Bones Super Reds Ceramics
Jessup Ultra
Rib Bones
Bones 1/8" risers
Mini Logo 1" hardware

It's strange, but a shape like this makes me want to push harder and go faster than usual.
