Enhance Performance with Shorty's Black Doh-Doh Bushings 100a Rock Hard for Skateboards & Longboards Review

Technically they are a bit harder than the white Bones I usually ride, but the feel is a bit different and they took a while to break in. some material "shaved off" when putting it on. They feel good now that they're broken in and I'll probably keep them on this pair of trucks, but next time I tune a new pair of trucks I think I'll go back to my regular bones.

I bought these for my freestyle setup and really loved them, I watched them for a while and spent some time trying to find out the best value for money. Unfortunately, they broke up almost immediately. I couldn't dress them to the point where it would make sense to have them there. I wore them for about 5 days before I had to change them out and went back to the 98a shorty sleeves I had before.

Love it. 100a sockets are hard to find, delivered quickly and work great. I'm a tall man (275 lbs) and not as young as I used to be, so I needed a stiffer hub to get rid of the wobble at high speed. They work great on my Evolution Carbon GT electric skateboard. Because of the double hinge, you need to buy 2 sets. Works great, good price, only 1 edition. Most in this price range come with bushing washers, but you can use the old ones, they don't come with them.

When I received the package, they looked quite old, unused but old. I loaded them onto my trucks and drove for literally 5 minutes and one of the doh-dohs just burned to ash. You can see a white powdery substance and truck crooked/crooked from a pancake doh-do in the photos. I have been skateboarding consistently for the last 15 years and have always used doh dohs and I know full well that they are old and deteriorating. Completely dissatisfied, especially with how much I paid for what used to…

So. I'm a big guy (200lbs) and thought these bushings would be a good replacement for the overly soft stock Independent Orange. But literally a lap around the block and the bushings looked like this. I don't know if they're old or fake, but they look and, more importantly, feel absolutely shabby. My trucks also had excessive play, like they were permanently buckled or deformed. The bearing cones were sheared with washers and I overtightened them because I had a wheel bite and weighed too much…
