Bushings are my favorite (and the easiest!) way to tune a board, and though I have tried many kinds, my love for Venom bushings rises above all others. There is a particular snap to Venoms that no one else comes close to; they are the Tracker Stims of the modern era.
OK, about those new shapes. Pictured above, from the upper left, moving clockwise, you see a yellow “plug barrel“, olive green “stepped cones” (x2), blood red “stepped cones”, and yellow “kegs” (!) It kinds of feels like when Lucky Charms added new marshmallows! … OK, Zach, be cool. They’re just shapes.
I have some ideas for which trucks to try these in, but obviously there is a lot of experimentation ahead! Unclear if the plug barrel belongs in anything but a Caliber, but obviously we are going to put that to the test.
