don't be stupid, buy these instead of indy's.
I have used both indy's, and bones hardcore. Independent bushings freaking suck, because I have already blown them out in a matter of a single 10 minute ride. But bones hardcores? I have had zero problem whatsoever. These are absolutely awesome.If you know nothing about bushings, and want to get these for your kid as a replacement to their old bushings? DO GET THESE! DO NOT BUY INDEPENDENT BUSHINGS! these are going to last longer, and not be total crap compared to them on the first ride. Even if your local doesn't sell them, bite the bullet, and buy these over independents. Trust me, you won't have to put up with blowing them out like you would independents.Tl;Dr, buy these bushings over independent bushings, so you don't have to replace them in barely a day of use.

Great For Big Skaters
In short, buy them if you're a bigger skater. Now, I'll get into it in detail. I skated a lot in my teens and early twenties, and then I quit for four years after having my first kid. A few months ago, I decided to hop on a board again, but I was 100 pounds heavier than I was the last time. My old bushings were still in good shape, but I got horrible wheel bite anytime I did anything besides cruising around and rolling over ramps I was chucked off a few times just from landing after playing around on a manny pad. I popped these bad boys into my trucks, and I'm back to doing tricks with ease.I bought the hard variant because I knew I needed the hardest bushings possible, and I can't begin to describe how smooth these feel despite my weight. They don't squeak, I don't get wheel bite unless I'm intentionally leaning too far, and they reset to center pretty much immediately after my wheels leave the ground. Also, despite being hard and fully tightened, they turn incredibly well. I didn't even have to spend any time breaking them in. They immediately felt comfortable.I can see how they'd be a bad choice for the average skater, though. Unless you have the weight to naturally compress them when turning, you'll have a hard time getting them to turn. The average 145 pound skater would probably feel like their skating on rocks. I can't tell you if the soft and medium varieties handle that better.One thing that did disappoint me is that they're colored differently depending on softness, and that wasn't made clear in the description. I thought I was getting white and yellow (Which would match my setup really well), but I got white with black cores since I bought the hard ones. That's not a big deal, but it was a little bit of a bummer.All in all, if you weigh more than 200 pounds, I can't recommend these enough. They're all I'll be skating on unless I miraculously get fit again, and even then, I'd still buy from Bones due to how great these are. Smaller skaters should try the softer bushings, or they should go with something else entirely, though.

Great For An Old Man
I just started skateboarding this year. I'm tall and almost 200lb. I originally bought these for my 8.5" CCS board because the bushings were too soft. They worked great. I then upgraded to the 9.13" Andy Anderson Flight deck with Indy trucks. I immediately replaced those stock bushings with the super hard Indy bushings. I had to keep cranking them down. After two months, completely warped. I took the bones off the CCS board and replaced the Indy bushings. All good again and not over tight! I ordered a second set just in case. Definitely recommend if you are older, heavier, and/or just like tight trucks.

Amazing alternative
I definitely prefer loose trucks over tight trucks with these bushings as advertised on the box itself it literally takes no time to break in these bushings! As soon as you hop your board after install they have that perfect loose truck feel! would definitely buy again!

Good….
When I put both bushings in, my board had very little response for turning. You could lean as hard as you wanted but you’d barely turn. I came up with the idea of using my original bottom bushing and putting only the top hard bones bushing on top of that. I love it, I have a soft yet responsive turn with a hard/stiff undertone if that makes sense. Basically I have the softness and responsiveness of my bottom bushing, so when I turn really hard, my trucks don’t stay leaned. They snap right back to straight everytime.

Great Product
This is a great bushing. I didn't know exactly what to expect but I heard that a bushing could be the cheapest thing that could affect your ride. Well I put these into my longboard to replace the stock ones and I love it. I already thought that my bushings were decent and it allowed me to carve a lot but compared to these bones bushings, it can do the same and have a lot more kick back which I appreciate. I haven't tested it yet going really fast to see if I have any bad speed wobble but I feel like that won't be too much of a problem.I got the black 91A medium bushing if you wanted to know. I didn't know what durometer really meant or which one I like better so I just got the medium one and they work great. I would recommend these to anyone that wants to upgrade their longboards for a cheap price!
