Fell for some Thunders because of MJ and this Real was too cheap to let it pass + the nod to that Claudia Schiffer board it痴 a must.

I didn't realise you were getting the pro editions of the inverted trucks, which have regular white bushings, vs the new softer feeling purple bushings in the plain silver sets of the inverted trucks.

The white ones should actually hold up and firm up way better, as per others have said, but it is up to you...


Curious to see / hear what you end up setting up any which way and how you find them.

I was able to skate a bit today while I知 dealing with a flu got like 45 min on them.
Straight up from factory they池e super loose (even more for me since I知 on the tight side of the spectrum) but I wanted to give them a try so I just pushed and turned for like 30 min and they started to feel super nice.
A normal person could skate then like that l and tbh I give them a try and I managed more or less. Probably I値l tight them up a bit in the future but so far they feel pretty good and I知 quite happy.


Nice!

Been a bit under the weather myself too, so I guess it is just one of those things.

At least with any bushings, the funny thing is between the initial session and then leaving them for a bit, they will usually firm up a bit more, compared to session after session right away, which then can take longer for them to feel good.

I guess, just wait and see.

Hope you are feeling better soon enough too.

Gone since 1988.  I talk too much about skateboards.  Sorry.
