| 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. |

| Loose
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 |

| 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. |
