Skateboard and Longboard Bushings

by JoeSatt

This object was entered in the MakeShaper Design Challenge (see all entries here). Are you irritated by riding your skateboard or longboard that has hard, stiff bushings that have zero give? Do you want to carve up your street with tight cornering? These are the bushings for you! Designed with a center hole of 10 mm in diameter, these bushings will fit almost any skateboard or longboard. Also with this design you can experiment with different types of flexible filament to find the perfect tightness in your truck for a clean, smooth, and more enjoyable ride. Note:To put on these bushings you may need to slightly compress them to get the nut to start threading onto the bolt. Then you can tighten them as you wish for the optimal ride.
