Soft or hard bushings for Ramps and jumps
in Aggressive
Soft for agility or hard for least loss of kenetic energy??
I've snapped 2 kingpins and bent one
Soft for flex or hard for support on kingpin
(I've had 98a bushings on from new)
Any ideas 🙏🙏

Basically why are my kingpins snapping?
What plates? Probably medium and loosened to what is comfortable with the CORRECT pivot pin adjustment.
Considering bushings hard vs. soft highly depends on your weight. Remember that bushings are designed to compress when you swerve or turn, so if you’re on the heavier side, bushings that are too soft will affect your ability to balance.
As a general rule, the heavier you weigh, the harder your skateboard bushings should be. Softer bushings are suitable for lighter riders who prefer loose trucks since these provide ease when turning and compress the easiest.
