Tech deck bushings are crap. They come loose really easy after a few grinds, and the new ones are impossible to adjust. Plus bushings are cheap.

Try getting a non Tech Deck board. The difference between a wood deck and a TD deck is amazing.
Parts I recommend trying:
Primo decks: http://home.comcast.net/~azn_zero/home.html
Halfpint decks: http://www.freewebs.com/halfpintfingerboards/
Flatface wheels, decks, bushings, tuning, etc.: http://flatface.vze.com/
Substance wheels: http://www.diemkay.com/st/index_hold.html
Static bushings: http://www.lszanto.com/static/
Arctic tuning: http://www.empirefbs.co.uk/arctic/
And theres always the US fingerboard shop: http://www.usfbshop.co.nr/

Yea, Andy, there's a whole scene behind it.

At the moment:
stock techdeck with custom oversized bushings and skategrip

In a few days i should recieve:
Eurollt's wheels (for those who don't know about fingerboards, they aren't plastic, they are rubber with aluminium core),
a FlatFace deck with colored middle ply w/ colored exotic bottom ply,
some DOOM griptape to test,
and some decent TD hangers.
Click to expand...

I just felt like seeing what some of that stuff is and there is one scary coincidence:

I found this forum called fingerflipinc.com and I saw a thing for Flat face decks. The kid who makes them is Mike Shneider. Where is he from - ANDOVER, MASSACHUSETTES!!!!! He lives right next to me and we used to be good friends...Who knew? So I decide to get in contact to him and I find out that he's really into it, but he is so gnarly at these things. I gave him some money for a deck and there really is a difference.

Yeah Mike is a really gnar guy. Service is great, wheels are great, decks are great. Everything is great about FlatFace. And go over to his house sometime, hes got a fingerboard park.

I was thinking about fingerboarding, and I found a major bad point. You can't skate around and meet other skaters. Unless you're fingerboarding at the skatepark and you meet a fellow fingerboarder haha.
