You got this @Lisa Ray! I bet you are a better skater than you think you are (I’m always harder on myself than others are!) even if the skills are above your level, being able to ask other people what works for them goes along way to figuring out what helps you.

@Lisa Ray LOVE THIS SO MUCH!! Keep it up! Cheering you on from PDX! Keep up the updates!

I started with different levels of truck lossening and now do a combo of softer cushions and slightly tighter trucks than I used to. It makes my turns so tight now and I love it. I have loose trucks in the back but I don’t recommend that when you first start lossening them - the wobble when you go backwards is a little unsettling at first. Adding the softer cushions has really given me the ability to drive with all 8 wheels and is a game changer. Really what it all comes down to is what feels the most comfortable for you. I like to test out my adjustments in my garage before skating in a big space because I can tell as soon as I get the boot on if I like the feel or not.

@Claudine Petty yes! Love this! I honestly never thought about my cushions until a friend got a free set in an order by accident so we put them on my Danza Skillz and it took about 5 minutes to get used to it but my turns are so crisp now. I did end up putting the harder cushion back on the front truck side of my right boot because I was struggling with the grapevine on that side so there is a little trade off but you just have to find the combo you like. Can’t wait to hear how you like different cushions!
