I think the best shape is a sphere cut into two semispheres, one for top and one for bottom bushing. Would be easy to make and probably have some really good performance

get that + big enough holes + a hard and soft material so you can have either as per people's preferences, and this will be a huge project.

EDIT:
like this would be even better:

First you start with a sphere. Cut away the red, one green is the top, purple is the bottom, and white is where the hole is for the axle.

That's a good idea Kerry!!

Medium/ hard are current... and Kerry has to go that next step to drop a diagram... what a boss!!!

This was the original plan... hardest part is because there so small its hard to get perfect cuts but to be fair i hope to have lots of different shapes and sizes so every one can find there perfect setup

still got a few of the Balls so i might go try cutting them up like this!

Eddit... Slipped with blade... SO MUCH BLOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahha im so stupid

Remember kids dont play with knives

hahah hope you're okay

if you could get a mold made like the shape I said I think that'd make like4209384092384093284093840923804932840932840938 people interested in these more than are now.

Also if they're medium hard I don't think many people would see the point of switching from td or brr basic bushings.. soft is the way to go

And maybe you can sell washers too?

washers i can sell i have freaking hundreds of them... and im aiming for soft but i gotta get alot of different rubbers/silicones to find them as they all set different when made small if that makes seance.

and good point with the mold... im gonna make a few different shapes and some very odd ones like stars or somethin

So... how about that idea that I PMed you, Gilly?

Its all on the books.. im going to get around to doing them all and see what you guys want... sooooooo

that means more give aways

niceee, hyped to see the new designs Gilly

Some quick feedback on the bushings I received.

Holes are too small although you can open them up more - I used some kind of cufflink pin. I like the appearance and shape as they remind me of the translucent Venture truck bushings.

The washers that go with them are large although they do fit the newest TD trucks fine. It probably won't fit on Close Up trucks and possibly older TD trucks. I will find out later. I think some \___/ shape washers would be a lot better with these bushings.

I originally thought the bushings would have distinct sizes for the top and bottom but realised they're all the same size. This is fine. My truck hanger is cushioned fine and the bolt on the kingpin is not too high to get in the way of grinds.

As for the performance so far, I like medium-tight bushings so this is suitable for me. Most people like soft bushings so it might be wise to additionally do different versions with varying hardness.

I can't comment on longevity as I've only had them for a day.

So yeah, I think you've got the right idea in experimenting more with shapes and whatnot.

Good luck and if you want a more extensive review, additional reviews or have more questions, let me know.

I'm back in the UK on the 17th as well so it'd be a lot faster to send shit when I'm there.

Thanks man, Ill write a review for you on the reviews section when I get them and try them

UPDATES

Stickers came and for some reason there slightly off centre but still look good

New Mold V1 Bushings.. made with new SOFTER material!!!! (for those people who like um loose) also moulded a washer like base to them

holes are still small but the material is ALOT softer so has eliminated previous problems with being too tight

Picture time (finally got cam fixed )

Looking good!
