Skateboard

Bushings are some of the smallest parts in a skateboard, but having the right ones can make the biggest difference in being able to ride your board. A bushing that is too hard can make your board unresponsive and difficult to turn. Have them too soft and your board will feel out of control. 

With the correct set up your riding will be safer, easier to control and loads more fun. That’s why at RipTide we carry the largest range of bushing hardnesses (durometers), from 97.5a down to 60a. We have 3 unique Formulas, many different Heights for all different trucks, and custom Shapes that offer different ride feels / resistances. We also have a constantly growing Compatibility List which makes it easier to find out what actually fits into your trucks. For more information, check out our What is a Bushing? page. 

We take pride in providing quality products that help all skaters customize their ride to their wants and needs and get a ride they'll love. Skate like there is a tomorrow! 

- To get started with our bushings. -

1 - Check out our Compatibility List, go to your discipline and find your trucks. Click on the listed heights to get to the right group of products. If your trucks aren't listed, measure the bushings that are currently in them and then shop by Height.  

2 - Determine which Formula will be best for you based on your riding style and weight which will help you choose a Durometer.

3 - Determine which Shape will work best for your riding style. Cone/Barrel or Barrel/Barrel works for most riders.
