Bones Reds

I appreciate Bones Reds.  They ride really nice.  They are like $11-12 if you look around and you can get them anywhere for a few dollars more and they ride very nice.  They are like the PBR of skateboard bearings.

Bones Hardcore Hard Bushings

These are just soft enough to make me think they would be ridable in something I own.  Then I try them and I don't turn very much.  Bones Bushings are awesome but only in medium.  Medium feel good, but soft is way too soft and hard is way to hard.  It's like the three bears work at their factory.

Measurements: top and bottom, 3/4″ wide at the insert and 1″ wide at the other side. The top is 7/16 tall, and the bottom is 9/16 tall

More Surf-Rodz Indeesz

Since I had extra bushing seats already I shopped around until I found a good deal on some hangers and baseplates to build up another set of 8mm Indeesz.  This time I got a more conventional width, 139mm.  I first tried them with some Venom conventional bushings and they were way too squishy with one million wheelbites.  I swapped the roadsides out with red Khiro inserts and it did not make much difference.  So I drove over to the Vans store, partially because I am too impatient to order some Bones mediums and partially because there is a really cute girl who works there.  They were out of mediums.  I got the Bones hards that are in the trucks below because the only other brand of bushings they have are stupid Doh-dohs.  That was not the best idea.  These bushings turn like something that does not turn very much.  I am going to have to get much fatter or I am going to have to change them out before these trucks are much fun.  Maybe this is a good excuse for me to try some Riptide Eliminators or some Riptide Chubby Bushings.  I have been meaning to try some new bushings with a stimulator shape.

Elephant!!!

I set this Vallely reissue up with as many of the parts I could find from my first skateboard.

Pretty cool deck, the front riser, bushings and the bearings are the newish parts.

The Venture trucks, Rat Bones, Cell Block III and the Bridgebolts are from the first board I ever had.  

That board also had a nosebone, tailbone, rails and some Rip Grip, I think I need to add that.  I have some rails and Rip Grip,  Internet shopping, here I come.
