Hi man. So is it possible to have more stability but also carve better? As I’m really not sure what riptide bushings to go for. I like to carve, but I don’t like speed wobbles. I’m almost 100kg, it says on the site to go for the hardest bushings for a stiffer setup, but I think that will be too stiff. I was thinking of going for the 90A and 93A. Also, do you tighten both bushings the same amount? What characteristic does each set of bushings give on the double kingpin setup, you’ve obviously got the ones nearer the board and then the ones nearer the road. I’m guessing the ones nearer the board are more important for overall stability. The current setup on the hurricane I have gives me speed wobbles above 23mph, but also don’t carve particularly well either.
To answer your question about how to tighten you front and rear bushes, the rear will need to be slightly tighter than the front as to be able to steer easier rather than having them equally tightened, this is just what i recommend but you can adjust them as you see fit. I can give you some advice for what you should get but remember that each person has a different comfort and way that they ride, for example I weight 82kgs and I use 93a as my main duro and go for the slightly softer bush for my front trucks (I got the Dual Kingpin Board Bushing Box). I find that I can comfortably ride at 50kms without speed wobbles but can also carve very easily at lower speeds whereas my dad simply finds it to difficulty to handle at higher speeds with the softer bushes. He uses 96a with the same duro on the front trucks for no speed wobbles but still with reasonable carve at lower speeds. It is also dependant on how tight you do up the trucks (don't overdo it), so if you're after less speed wobbles at those higher speeds while still keeping some carving at low speeds I'd recommend either 96a with softer or consistent duro on the front trucks. This does of course depend on how you prefer to ride. I hope that this was of some help to you with choosing the right bushes, best of luck Regards LachStock

*I love Venom bushings as they are more stable at speed* but Riptide are great for makin it easier for people to carve with less effort.
Do you have a link for these
