Note: Purchasing a Venom SHR DH Bushing Pack “w/ Washers” means you’re getting two large cupped washers and one flat washer along with your bushings.
Why must I need washers? Because the washer gives the bushing some support. If you were to run flat washers all around (or no washers) then the bushing wouldn’t be bouncing back as much as you would hope. A cup on the bottom allows for a nice rebound, while a flat on top allows for a nice lean.
We want to help you choose your bushing for your body weight!
So here’s a mini cheat sheet to get you started:
- 50–100 lbs: 73–80a
- 75–125 lbs: 78–82a
- 100–145 lbs: 80–85a
- 125–175 lbs: 80–87a
- 145–195 lbs: 82–90a
- 175–220 lbs: 85–93a
- 200–250 lbs: 90–93a
- 225 lbs and up: 90–97a
Venom SHR (“Super High Rebound”) DH Longboard Skateboard Bushings are used for downhill freeride, carving, and cruising. With a little more spring out out of your turns you can spend less time trying to level yourself out, and more time shredding! If your intention is just carving and cruising, you should consider Venom Standards or Venom Super Carves. For Downhill Freeriding we like using SHR Venom DH Barrels.
Venom SHR bushings are considered the highest quality bushings by experienced downhill riders and Longboard enthusiasts. If you have not tried a Venoms on your downhill freeride board or cruising longboard, you have not yet felt a rebounding truck. These bushings compress and release to perfect center. Choose your durometer carefully. Don’t just purchase the bushing because the color matches your skateboard. You should consider your weight and board shape carefully before ordering your bushings.
