Which do you prefer and why?

I ride loose to medium it's much easier for me to adjust with the angle for which tricks I wanted to do, and when you land it can add style as well.

What's yours?

Once I get some real gear I'm probably going to just ride loose like I do in real life but tech deck stuff is just terrible loose. sad

If you want to ride loose then get some Creekwood Soft Bushings

Make some bushings out of rubber and use it on the bottom. Like hole punch the rubber. I used tech decks with lube on the wheels and home made tuning for years until i started making money with Pure and got a sponsor.

I first made my own bushings out of ballers, until I bought from Daliri.

Mine are like tightly loose. They're loose, but still have pressure when you flex it.

My main setup right now is as tight as possible.
I would like it to be a little bit looser, so i'll probably change the bushings soon.

I don't really like the look of super loose trucks. I actually often turn off videos were the rider is riding loose, haha very happy

loose, but not insanely loose. its flowy and fun. ALTHOUGH I have a setup that's like.. ridiculously loose, my lowpro, that's a really fun deck too. I cant get on with tight, I cant feel the board properly.

Medium/ loose. If the deck can touch the wheels, that's too far for me

Medium enough to swerve etc but still tight enough to pop back up for stable tricks

My board touches the wheels sometimes, and I have gotten wheelbite before. I like being able to lean back and forth on the board.
