This is quite a difficult question to word correctly, but I'll give it my best shot.

I'm relatively new to fingerboarding, so still can't do all that many tricks. Most days I can ollie, land grinds, shuv it with the odd kickflip and very lucky tre flip.

However, some days I can't do anything. Even trying to ollie is a challenge. Like I literally can't pop the board. Anyone else had this when they were starting out and if so how did you get over it? On a good day I can ollie pretty smooth but on days where I can't, I really have to force it to get the board in the air.

After a couple of days, I finally got over my mental block and can now fingerboard to my full, all be it very limited, potential. Anyone that's having a similar issue, just persist through it. Even if you're having to force ollies, just keep at it happy

They're just the tuned China trucks, $4 is a nice price for a set, I've heard the bushings suck but bearing screws and inverted kingpins work much better then normal axles/kingpins!

Bearing screws is a pain in the ass compared to regular axles.. I don't really think they are worth it when you can get china trucks for $2.5 at Fingersized (and soon again on Lovedrug).

@Danny The one with inverted kingpins is $8, not really worth it.
@Mikkel True. I have another setup with bearing screws and they constantly unscrew. Also, yay for new stock!

Oh, didn't take a huge look, aha.
$8 isn't great for them though, as Mikkel said, bearing screws can be a pain in the arse.

Yea they work fine Ace.Ramps. Just pull out your axle and screw the screws in.

Mikkel is right, he just pm'd me full instructions and they work great!
You should use super glue to keep them in though, and put some super glue on the bearing too to keep it close to the screw!

I'm very happy very happy My wife's chronic pain is getting sorted, and I've started the day with LCD Soundsystem and a flat white happy

As for Team Bushings, I like them a lot, but since I ride BRTs tree are far better bushings out there for me. You can certainly do worse than thm though! I recommend you try them! :)6

From what I have heard they are one of the best bushings in the cheap regions. iirc YTrucks bushings are made from the same material, it might help you see if they are good.

It's already in .png. If you wanted one with a transparent bg I made one. I also made it slightly better:
