Blue Doh-Doh Bushings 88a soft for Skateboards & Longboards

So my kid loves these. I don't know too much about them. (non-expert opinion here) They are softer than most bushings and his trucks can move back and forth better.....I get that part. When he buys a new board we have to get these bushings and most of the time new bearings. (unless they are to his liking out of box....one board came with good quality parts to begin with) He might just like taking things apart, who knows. I tried his board before and after and I could tell the difference but I can't skate more than a few feet without almost falling.

Puntuales y buen producto , gracias

Read the reviews saying these are better. I didn't think my kids would get on their boards and actually notice a difference. Their eyes practically bugged out of their heads the difference was so huge. I don't know diddly squat about skating except what I've seen on youtube. If you got your kids cheap boards from wally world, get them some doh doh bushings and make that board a million times better.

88a isn’t soft enough to be called “soft” imo. I ended up getting 70a from riptide and much prefer them

"Soft", in relation to, I guess, some truck's bushings that are like generic no-name items on a discount store shelf. So, my taking off a star is really more about the labeling of the product, rather than any actual structural defect in it. As a bushing, in a lot of applications, I think they would be fine. My advice to buyers is to, rather than looking at subjective and out of context descriptions like Soft, to focus in on the durometer rating, and to think of known wheels, or whatever, that have the same hardness. I ordered these bushings at the same time as I ordered a pair of Independent "hollow axle" trucks, thinking the trucks would come with rather hard bushings, and that these Shory's ones would be softer. It turned out that the opposite was true, and these seemed very hard in comparison. Anyway, I ended up using one top and one bottom piece of the Shorty's bushings, for the rear trucks to slow down the steering from the back of the board to avoid wobble and to better carve sharp turns. How I was able to do that was by using a long, flat auto body type manual sanding board with 90 grit paper and dragging the bushings across it over and over while periodically checking the thickness with a caliper, until they matched the original Independent bushing's size. By the way, sanding to roughen the flat surfaces of the bushings eliminates the squeaking noise you get when you lean on the trucks.

Theyre super soft, love em for carving

Super soft which is great for cruising on sidewalk and tight turn areas. Still stable with great return pressure. Material is tough and through wet and cold season has yet to show drying cracking or odd wear.Would suggestion to a friend and buy again.

my orangatang wheels are softer than these bushings. should of been called stone-o’s not named after something soft like play dough. if you are looking for soft bushing, these are not it
