thats a good looking truck
I wanted to try Film badly but after seeing that top bushing now I'm fucking desperate and that sucks since is impossible for me to get them here in Chile...
right there no way thats going to lose contact with the hanger yoke when you turn.
My bones basically break into that shape and spooge into the yoke anyway.
I found this review about their bushings from an online store in the UK. Pretty cool. Also note that Tensor ATG have a similar top bushing which makes sense considering the same dude worked on both trucks
Most bushings are fairly standard – either a barrel or a cone for the bottom of the truck (i.e. nearest to the board) and a cone on the top. Some companies have played with inserts to make the bushing more solid, and some have produced “stepped” bushings to hold the bushing in place better, but as far as we’re aware none* have tried to eliminate or reduce one of the biggest sources of sloppy truck performance: the hangar moving around the kingpin.
FILM‘s bushings include an insert on the top cone which aims to do the same job a spherical bearing does on CNC trucks – namely keeping the kingpin central in the hangar.
Have you ever been on a truck and felt a slight deadzone, where the truck leans but doesn’t turn? These should help eliminate that.
