Independent Skateboard Bushings 78A Urethane

Description

Product Overview

Independent delivers a complete skate package that combines their renowned trucks with premium 78A urethane bushings. The 8.5‑inch deck width and 52 mm hanger height create a lower profile for tighter nose‑to‑tail angles, enhancing street tricks and flip stability. Constructed from high‑grade urethane, the bushings offer ultra‑high rebound for rapid response and minimal wear. Each set includes the trucks, an extra set of bushings, and the innovative shaft nut that secures the baseplate for consistent performance.

Usage

Designed for street skaters, this setup excels on concrete, skateparks, and urban obstacles. The reduced hanger height improves contact point geometry, making it easier to pop tricks and maintain control during slides. Riders from intermediate to pro level will appreciate the quick rebound that translates into smoother landings and tighter carving.
