Best Bushings for Longboard Dancing and Cruising

Learn about the best bushings for longboard dancing and cruising. During this video I spent an entire 8 hour day at the park testing a whole bag of RipTide bushings in my Paris V3 trucks on my Moonshine MFG Jeff Corsi Hoedown longboard dancer. Whether you're looking to upgrade your cruiser with some longboard bushings or are ready to take your longboard dance flow tricks to the next level, upgraded bushings will definitely help!

Thanks for watching guys! Please let me know in the comments below what you'd like to see next 🤙🏻

As a beginner to longboarding, this video helps soooo much. Bushings seem so minuscule but in reality, they're a big deal. lol, thanks for the video man!!

[@desgnarlais]

Glad you liked it Vera! Don't hesitate to HMU anytime on IG if you have questions

[@simonspain6080]

Excellent video! Bushings are something that as a beginner you don't really think of and then you realise that they're probably the most important thing to get dialled in to your own weight and style and feel. I LOVE Riptide bushings and APS are my choice for all my boards too! Great rebound and return and feel so controlled and smooth. I'm a 58 year old Dad with young kids who love to skate so they keep me at it! Old ...but I can at least afford good kit! ;-) LOL Un abrazo de España!!!

[@nomnomfatpoop]

What an absolutely beautiful hill

[@BENNYSBALLS]

great video ... I have a holesome street sweeper for the last maybe 8 or 9 year, and have never changed the bushings and never thought about it ... so you have taught me something to try when I can leave the house as france is in a very strict lockdown ;o( ... stay safe and enjoy the freedom !

[@desgnarlais]

Bryan Pearson new bushings are a game changer man! Feel free to send me a message if you ever want specific advice or recommendations. Reste en sécurité frère

[@robertstrong6639]

Excellent review

[@desgnarlais]

Thank you! Anything in particular you learned from this?

[@warlockboyburns]

You made skateboard dancing look good. Well done.

[@williamhenry9157]

I have to say I was really wanting a straight answer but after watching your video like 5-6 times I'm understanding why there is so much thought put into it. Reminds me of the downhill guys breaking down their setup and they have like 4 different bushings.

[@marcodiaz1354]

Thanks for the Info. Choosing bushings is a difficult process and I already have a small store on hand. You have given me a new starting point for shapes. The duro is not hard but thanks for the shape and formula info. Your description of the way they feel was invaluable.

[@desgnarlais]

Stoked to hear that Marco 🤙

[@bartdevuyst]

This was really helpful video, thanks for making it!

Hey man, keep up the great content!!! Just wanted to say that watching your videos has influenced me to start my own channel and film my adventures as well. Thank you!!!

So stoked to hear that bro. Just subscribed 💯 Good luck with everything

[@di_zzy_j]

Very helpful thanks! I want to setup my board for fast freeriding so I feel I can take this information and play around myself! Thanks for the tips!!

[@desgnarlais]

Anytime Dizzy! I'm stoked to make a DH version of this soon

[@di_zzy_j]

@@desgnarlais yes! I wanna do fast stand up slides!! Could you talk about base plates too? I'm riding symmetrical 50° but with stock bushings, feels great rn, but I feel the faster I go the more its gunna slip out on me

[@belgiumdownhill4755]

simply the best dancing bushing guide ever

[@issamnemiche7026]

very good video .. I think bushing is a big deal on your ride . it changes a lot . Nice video :) and cool lines

[@desgnarlais]

Honestly one of the most important parts of the whole set-up!

[@SailorTortilla]

This is really helpful as a boarding noobie. I couldn’t help but notice your camera’s auto zoom is amazing- what are you using?

[@MrPorschkub]

Good review Can i ask you something The Fatcone bushing is good for longboard dance or not How similar about which one do you prefer Canon and Fatcone Thankyou

[@Letovlogsog]

Nice video bro, what are the best bushings for free riding and sliding?

[@RickWilleboordseSwayLongboards]

woop

[@mpix00]

HI Brandon, so I have a Loaded Icarus that I picked up to keep in shape for snowboarding season. I have never really longboarded before but am finding it very addictive and working on my 180 step to switch. I just got ahold of orangatang nipples orange and purples and find that I really like the Orange board side and purple road side as the orange turns really easy and purple roadside seems to stiffen up at the end. How do the riptides feel compared to the orangantangs? I am thinking of trying some out

[@calebmorin6069]

can someone please explain to me how i can get my board to turn better? i got a new board and for some reason i don’t have sharp turns their mostly just wide

[@matzemaiskolben]

Hi. Very nice Video👍. What wheels are U using in this Video My friend?

[@pooppirate6958]

Do this for DH/freeride bushings... Could use some tips for my aera k5

[@desgnarlais]

You got it bro! The DH one will be much better. This one was a bit of a ramble 😅

[@nickamarit]

Can magnums be run roadside on V3's? E.g. can I run all magnums (both boardside and roadside)?

[@Codysurfsup]

Do you think it was the bushing shape or the bushing hardness/softness that had more to do with the "stiffness" of the board?

[@desgnarlais]

Shape mostly affects range of motion and the dynamics of how much it stiffens up towards the end whereas duro is the resistance. Does that make sense?

[@tabs123456]

Hi, nice video. Is that the street cone bushing or the cone in the longboard section of riptides website, they are differnt slightly i noticed. Cheers

[@desgnarlais]

It's the longboard cone. The street cones are slightly shorter which will give you less range of motion

[@tabs123456]

Thanks heaps 👍

[@taruflx]

Fantastic video, the griptape is only in the nose and tail right?

[@desgnarlais]

Thanks David! Basically just the nose and tail but a little on the edges too

[@NotSoWickedElphaba]

👍 Next time à double-barrel comparison? 🙏

What size wheel and trucks do you get?

[@desgnarlais]

Usually 65-70mm wheels and 180mm 50º trucks

[@tinytincan648]

Hey Brandon

[@desgnarlais]

yoooooo

[@MrPalePenguin]

Is that a soft or medium flex? Thanks in advance. :)

[@desgnarlais]

It's a medium but slightly flexier because it was a defect

[@gavinsampson]

Plz make more videos

[@desgnarlais]

My goal is every week! Anything in specific you'd like to see?

[@gavinsampson]

@@desgnarlais awesome and yeah trick tips are cool and montages but like whatever keeps it fun for you

[@desgnarlais]

@@gavinsampson I'm doing trick tips every Tuesday on Instagram and facebook at @desgnarlais. Let me know if there's anything in specific that you'd like to see

[@s.sumertas9206]

At the end you described how APS felt compared to Krank, but you described APS like kinda having more rebound than krank. I thought that krank were their heighest rebound formula which is far from gushy. They way u described krank at the end sounds like WFB formula should be like, according to what riptide says on their website. I got kinda confused now, cuz i was looking to get a set of riptide kranks because i wanted the stable center and high rebound for freeriding as they provide according to riptide, but your experience is kinda different now lol. PS: looking forward to some freeride and DH tipps, cornering, predrifting etc. :)

[@desgnarlais]

S. Sümertas sorry for any confusion. This video was definitely a bit of a ramble 😅 to summarize, APS stiffens up quicker and more drastically whereas Krank has a much deeper range of motion (even when tightened down a bit). For downhill I really like the extra range of motion with KranK, especially in my rear truck. For longboard dancing I prefer to have a looser center that stiffens up quicker so I can stand on the edge of my board without it turning too far. Hope that helps!

[@s.sumertas9206]

@@desgnarlais Yea that helps a lot and makes things clear. And i kinda like the same feeling on my trucks for dancing and freeride too. I was riding venoms on my freeride trucks and they are great no doubt about it but since my trucks run 2 tall barrels they kinda stiffen up too much at some point which is not what i like so i have to use softer bushings that i actually would like to compensate for that a little bit. And for my hoedown i setup my paris trucks with harder otang nipples kinda for the same reason as you do with APS, i like the high rebound and i want dont want the trucks completely turn in as soon as i place my foot on the side without leaning. Hence the reason i removed the stock barrel/cone Combo. For dancing i appreciate the high rebound and defined centerpoint. For freeride i like to have some sort of center but i dont want the bushings to have that much rebound that it pushes against me, nor do i want them to stiffen up too quickly, another reason why i dont like Barricals/Fatcones for example. I think i really needa look into Riptides, ill wait for ur DH info video to drop my dawg 🤙

[@longboardreview1453]

Do you still downhill

[@desgnarlais]

Longboard Review I do! Stoked to do more soon. I’m just not interested in hiking small hills alone anymore so I don’t do it as often.

[@truckford2416]

Sir you did not have to flex those dragon skins so flippantly like that.

[@rreenn5204]

Can I have your old bushing?

[@downhilldummies]

To have company’s send me stuff.....#goals!!

[@desgnarlais]

Took 10 years of hard work. It's all about giving value to other people, riders, and companies. HMU if I can ever help 🤙🏻❤️

[@moonliteX]

dancing and cruising need the opposite kind of bushing almost

[@senditsammy144]

Venom biiiiiiiii.... jk

[@desgnarlais]

As you wish my dude 🤙🏻 I like how all RipTides are consistently the same duro and height. Can't say the same about Venoms

[@mariana336]

In the beginning it looked like he was going to run over the kids anytime XD I don’t have kids, but I would thin you need to be more considerate when there are kids around
