Hello everyone,

Appearantly I'm the moderator of this forum..... totally new to me. I was just sitting around, browsing ss.com and discovered this great honor at random.


After using Stimulator bushings for a while (and bones before that) i'd have to say that new Khiro bushings that places like sk8kings.com sells are pretty fine and will work for just about anyone.

Keep it loose in the front, and tight in the back. The Brown Bomber told that to me 4 years ago and its the best slalom advice you can get, besides "bend your knees and swing your arms."

All the best,
