- Today I tested the difference between the tensor stock bushings and bones bushings. I was pleasantly surprised. Also got a fun session in on the bleachers. Hope you enjoy the edit! #skateboarding #tensor #vs

Thanks for the video bud helps my decision! Mag lights here we come babyyyyy
They are super fun
i was waiting for a flip trick nice kick bro great crooked grind as well i never was a fan of the tensor bushings back when they were orange and wicked hard plastic almost...i popped them out and put doh doh reds in those bad boys i watched this because i just started skating again after 11 years everythign changed i have tj rogers reaper tensor trucks coming in soon are the bushings still the same?
tensor bushings are awesome. on the bigger trucks they need a firmer bushing. tensor needs some 9" or 8.75" mag lights for my big boys!
With a soild axel to prevent bending!
I bought the mag lo Mullen ones , they have a totally different feel, my board is a 8" an 14" WB , it's definitely something I'm not used to but I still want to try it, even though they are low (46mm?) I don't get significant wheel bite with 53 mm nano cubic wheels
I had another session today, I had to relearn a lot of stuff but regardless I'm liking them a lot, I might ditch the Indy's
Day 5 skating them :3 not going back I freaking love these things ( They suck at bowl though)
About 2 weeks, and I don't miss my Indy's, they are perfect for my style of skating, they don't perform well in transition or bowl but I can still skate those two if I wanted to, I've had the best grinding experience with these tensor lo trucks I actually enjoyed grinding, unlike Indy's in always worried about wax, speed, pressure, etc. With these I just go and it goes
i heard the hangar cracks on the tensor mag lights but then again ive heard people say they cracked a kingpin on the indepenent hollow(HIGHLY DOUBT) theyre super solid and they never have pics,so
I fit my 8.25 ATGs on a board a wee while ago. Took out the Bones bushings that were still in them and fitted the original bushings.
I’ve got to say it wasn’t as bad as I remember with neither turning nor clicking and the pop I’m getting is good. Still wished I had gotten the 8.5s though.
The light big board feels so good. Honestly dosen't feel crazy light. Easy to throw around and more board to land on with my crazy big feet. Haha.
@@KevinNiceTry I have been scouting around for 8.5s trying to find a good deal.
What I like is that the Tensors are as high as they are at the weight they’re at. You can still put some bigger wheels on there if you feel the weight is too low.
Be sure to let us know the wear and tear on your trucks. Never really found a proper review on them for those aspects.
Also how they wear in that Buffalo weather.
I plan on riding these permanently so when I get it to the axel or if something wild happens youtube will know. Hahaha.
@@KevinNiceTry getting $4,700 back in taxes I decided I could afford to get the 8.5" axle Tensors. The store I bought them from had them down as weighing 261g which I found strange given that the 8.25" ones I have weighed in at 270 so I didn't trust that number. I weighed mine when I got them and they were 300g each. Which I also found strange. It's hard to find info on what they are supposed to weigh but on Tactics they are down as being 276g. I can understand measurements being off by a couple of grams either because of construction or because of the scales used but that mine are off by around 25g seems a bit much. You didn't happen to weigh yours did you? I'd wonder if Tensor have changed the blend of materials or construction to reinforce the 8.5 truck.
Anyways even at 300g it's some light stuff. Next board I set up these are going on.
Wow that's awesome. No, unfortunately I didn't weigh them. I'm not sure Tensors marketing department is pretty terrible. So I'm not surprised the information is all over the place. Congrats on the big return and I hope they work out for you. Cheers.
Great video pal. 👍
Cheers!
i usually skate stock bushings but with the bushings that came with my tensor maglights low, really a messed! the bottom part of the bushings were not cut straight. its a factory defect. hence, the trucks always get stuck on one side.
i replaced it with bones soft bushings and love it. i tried medium on it and it’s not turning at all given that it is a low trucks
Mine are the ATG. They are the new geometry and are a high truck. I've never had the lows. Wasn't a fan of lows after I tried the ventures.
@@KevinNiceTry actually i regret buying the lows. i should have bought the ATG instead. i was curious how it feels riding low which made me decide to get this.
Gotta try it to know if it works for you.
I do wish Tensor made a slightly wider truck. Maybe in the future?
Yeah they need to get rid of the hollow axel. Would make them less likely to bend and they could do a bigger size. If they have a future lol. The marketing department is uh, non existent. Haha.
i got bones hard conical bushinga for my mag lights but the bottom one seems alittle small for the baseplate, does this matter?
Stay with the stock bushing for a few sessions, it will break in nicely. 👍
Definitely plan on it. They feel so much better. Glad I gave them a chance. Thanks for watching!
What duro would be the stock bushing be
just put some old mag light atg on indy inverted baseplate. wow, might be the holy grail for old guys
Nice song that👌
Can you please tell me the height of the tensor atg maglight low and high. In the size 5.25
Thank you
I'm pretty sure the atg is like 54mm tall I don't know about the lows. Ben degros did a detailed video on them. Maybe that would be more helpful.
@@KevinNiceTry first off, thank you for replying I appreciate it. And yeah I only ended up finding the height of the high's. :(
No worries. Yeah they aren't the best at marketing unfortunately.
@@KevinNiceTry was also wondering are wind flips really a problem 😂. I know it may sound stupid but I live in the second windiest state in the US.
I haven't noticed that. Maybe if you're launching off huge sets or something but for flat and park skateboarding I haven't noticed.
Tensor stock is the best for tensor. The interlocking bushing at 90a is what makes the tensor hood. The geometry of the trucks are designed to carve but they’re stable because where the turning is happening it’s cushioned and has rebound so you shoot straight back up when you want. No other bushing works in that truck. It messes up the geometry. If you don’t like looser trucks, definitely not the ones for you.
Are these bushings any good in other trucks do you know?
I think it’s just your luck with stock bushings. My Tensor Maglite bushings are awful. Feel like mush. No rebound. So it goes. Indy stock I never had this issue.
I'm absolutely happy with the stock bushings on my 5.5 ATG MagLights as well! Love the way they turn and carve. Tensors are my recommendation for sure. Especially for older, heavy legs (like mine). Just ordered a set of 5.25 ATG MagLights on special offer for 60€ today for a 7.75" setup. As soon as I can get hold of a set of 5.75s on offer I'll get them for my 8.5" setup, too! Regular retail price here is 85-89€ for a set.
That's pricey wow. If you like them though they are totally worth it. This is my favorite set up in a long time.
@@KevinNiceTry They are worth it for sure! But they actually aren't so expensive compared to Indys or Venture in their light versions. Independent Titaniums 65€ and Venture V-Hollow Lights 48€ for one truck! That makes Tensors reasonably priced for what you get 😉
Glad you like your current setup. One can tell it works great for you 🙂
Thanks, I appreciate it. I'm hoping I can learn some new stuff on it soon. This winter just won't end! Ugh.
Buffalo! Makes sense that we have similar weather. We’re actually sooo close to each other lol. If you ever cross the boarder hit me up for a skate.
I used to use bones bushings, but they’d always blow out! I’ve just been on Indy’s (stock, and also had some ‘medium’) and they’re so much better.
Nice session. I always wanted a tennis court like that to skate, most of ours are horribly rough asphalt.
Haha yeah I can see Canada from here. Haha. I used to hit up the fort Erie park but I need to renew my passport haha. Same to you, if you ever head south I can show you the spots.
