Breaking in new trucks

Damn, I have the exact opposite experience with the top washer. The bottom one I leave stock, but the stock top one comes down further with sharp edges. I do a lot of crooked grinds / sw crooked grinds, so they shred my top bushings to nothing. The aftermarket top washers are stubbier and not as sharp, and don't seem to harm the top bushing even after almost a year.

Mine gets cut up towards the top with the aftermarket washers - with the stock one it just leaves a line, but doesn't dig in like the shorter ones do - just my experience.

My new setup has 149 thunder team hollows on it. Had been on ventures the previous year. I'm really hoping I can get use to the conical bottom bushing and the new tipping point. I love the stability of a barrel bottom bushing. Ideally the bushings will firm up some and give me that stability. If not I'll have tot ry and fit Indy aftermarkets on them.

I go skate them...

Aftermarket orange bushings + riptide pivots make fresh trucks a pleasure for me. Indys grind so fast and smooove.

I'm actually really enjoying the stock oranges on the mids, very surprising.
