| So i got confuse about. Bushings type, the hard, medium, and the soft. Is it really effect to the tricks? and which are your favourite bushing? is it directly from the trucks you bought? or maybe u prefer to buy a bushing like flat face team bushing? THANKS! |

| it's preference, neither is going to make you 'better'.
if you want to ride loose, get soft bushings. Tight, get hard bushings. etc.
I'm a TKYs fan myself, but FF team bushings are brilliant too. |

| In my experience loose trucks will make some tricks harder and some easier. HOWEVER that is just for me. Some people can't use them at all, and some people just like a slightly harder bushing. They tend to be fairly cheap so just try and few and see what you like |

| I use stock bushings on BRT's and Ytrucks, but any other trucks, like china's and TD longboard trucks, I use either the FF Team bushings. If you really want to test bushings, get the BRR ultimate pack. It has all 3 kinds, and you can find what's right for you. You can also mix hards, and mediums, mediums and softs etc. to get the perfect feel for you |

| all personal preference. finger boarding is all about been individual and riding how you like. all you can is try different tuning parts and decks. just enjoy it and bring on them hammers |

| I noticed that the Hard O-Rings "Revolution" ones are really soft for being labeled hard. They are good, but when fully tightened feel more medium to me.
Regular orings are cool with me, I didnt even know they made them in different degrees of hardness.
I usually put 2 below the hanger and one on top with washers. I like my trucks to be able to turn and have some "spring", but still have the stability that I'm used to. |

| No one mentioned the 'no logos' They are perfect <3 they can get really loose if you remove the washer .... Also you won't have the problem with the screws falling down and getting loose .... .. at least I haven't had that problem since I bought them last year ... My screws are tightened up since I bought them .. Pretty dope bushings i'd say.. and super cheap |

| I got some of those I guess China black bushings, you know the ones a step up from Techdecks standard bushings. Anyway, I put them on and they were really loose and I couldn't do any of my normal tricks. Then I tightened the heck out of them and all of a sudden I could do all of my tricks again. Apparently I like to ride very tight trucks and you know I'm the same way with real skateboarding too. I like my boards very skinny with tight trucks. Its like my fingerboard specifications are the same as my skateboard specs. Wow! Coincidence? All you really have to do is buy several different types of bushings and try them out. When you find one you like then you stick with it. |

| TKYS or Flatface team bushings. They both feel kind of the same. |
