Bones Wheels Hardcore Bushings

great bushings, stiff when i need them to be and turns on a dime when i want them too. Read more

I have used both indy's, and bones hardcore. Independent bushings freaking suck, because I have already blown them out in a matter of a single 10 minute ride. But bones hardcores? I have had zero problem whatsoever. These are absolutely awesome. If you know nothing about bushings, and want to get these for your kid as a replacement to their old bushings? DO GET THESE! DO NOT BUY INDEPENDENT BUSHINGS! these are going to last longer, and not be total crap compared to them on the first ride. Even if your local doesn't sell them, bite the bullet, and buy these over independents. Trust me, you won't have to put up with blowing them out like you would independents. Tl;Dr, buy these bushings over independent bushings, so you don't have to replace them in barely a day of use. Read more

They were a perfect fit for my thunder and royal trucks. Way better performance than stock bushings. My trucks are way more stable and we're very good value. Read more

Doesn't need a cupped washer on bottom with these, no more clicking when i turn my board now. So much better than stock bushings my trucks came with. Very hard and solid which is needed for me. I'm 160 and these feel amazing for my weight. I can loosen my trucks slightly more now and still avoiding wheel bite. Was getting wheel bite with 52mm wheels waxing under the wheels helped ever so slightly so i was torn between riser pads, or hard bushings- got these and i'm very happy. if u have small wheels and don't want to have to get used to the feeling of risers then this should be ur first fix.

When I put both bushings in, my board had very little response for turning. You could lean as hard as you wanted but you’d barely turn. I came up with the idea of using my original bottom bushing and putting only the top hard bones bushing on top of that. I love it, I have a soft yet responsive turn with a hard/stiff undertone if that makes sense. Basically I have the softness and responsiveness of my bottom bushing, so when I turn really hard, my trucks don’t stay leaned. They snap right back to straight everytime. Read more

On time and good to go. Had me rolling in no time! Thank you. Read more

In short, buy them if you're a bigger skater. Now, I'll get into it in detail. I skated a lot in my teens and early twenties, and then I quit for four years after having my first kid. A few months ago, I decided to hop on a board again, but I was 100 pounds heavier than I was the last time. My old bushings were still in good shape, but I got horrible wheel bite anytime I did anything besides cruising around and rolling over ramps I was chucked off a few times just from landing after playing around on a manny pad. I popped these bad boys into my trucks, and I'm back to doing tricks with ease. I bought the hard variant because I knew I needed the hardest bushings possible, and I can't begin to describe how smooth these feel despite my weight. They don't squeak, I don't get wheel bite unless I'm intentionally leaning too far, and they reset to center pretty much immediately after my wheels leave the ground. Also, despite being hard and fully tightened, they turn incredibly well. I didn't even have to spend any time breaking them in. They immediately felt comfortable. I can see how they'd be a bad choice for the average skater, though. Unless you have the weight to naturally compress them when turning, you'll have a hard time getting them to turn. The average 145 pound skater would probably feel like their skating on rocks. I can't tell you if the soft and medium varieties handle that better. One thing that did disappoint me is that they're colored differently depending on softness, and that wasn't made clear in the description. I thought I was getting white and yellow (Which would match my setup really well), but I got white with black cores since I bought the hard ones. That's not a big deal, but it was a little bit of a bummer. All in all, if you weigh more than 200 pounds, I can't recommend these enough. They're all I'll be skating on unless I miraculously get fit again, and even then, I'd still buy from Bones due to how great these are. Smaller skaters should try the softer bushings, or they should go with something else entirely, though. Read more
