I recently achieved the feat of pumping.
"How did I do that?", you may be asking...
My advice to you:
Tweak with the bushings. Experiment. See if you like your bushings that you already have. Are they too hard, making the board hard too turn? Or are they too soft, making the board harder to control, weaving in and out constantly?Do you enjoy the rebound, or is it not for you? Do you like the feel of the board returning to center, or, would you prefer to use your ankles more? Do you like the return to center motion that the board naturally has? Or is that something you aspire to have?
I would highly recommend Riptide Bushings.
So, yes, I wholeheartedly recommend Riptide Bushings. But, what I will also say is, try out other brands. Seismic, Abec11, Orangatang. I had venoms in one of my older setups. They were good, I won't lie. But, I can't recommend Riptide Bushings enough. They have a plethora of graphs and charts on how their bushings were to react to the force applied, and they are just a great company.
11/10
I highly recommend Riptide Bushings, whether you are into dh, or getting into LDP. Or, heck, even just cruising. Get a variety of options, not just different duros, different formulas, different brands.
As a side note, I also tweaked with the angles a bit, and it's a lot lower, why? Well, I will save that info for a future post...stay tuned!!!
