Bushings & Pivot Cups

Skateboard Bushings & Pivot Cups

Bushings and pivot cups represent the most overlooked upgrade in skateboarding, capable of transforming how trucks feel and respond for the cost of a decent lunch rather than an entire new setup. Soft durometer bushings create the loose, surfy feel that transition skaters crave, while harder compounds provide the stability necessary for big drops and technical street skating that demands precision. Different bushing shapes like barrels, cones, and eliminators fine-tune truck response even further, allowing skaters to dial in their setup's characteristics without replacing expensive components. Pivot cups prevent the metal-on-metal contact that creates squeaks and premature wear, maintaining smooth truck performance through extended use. These simple urethane components prove that sometimes the smallest changes make the biggest difference in how your board performs.
