To make bushings you can either find a material you think will work and cut it with a leather punch or you can get those o-rings at any hardware store that sells rubber stuff, I get my o-rings at a local rubber shop they exactly like the riptape bushings the only thing is that I use a bigger ring on the bottom instead of 2 small rings... I dont remenber the rings measures tough just take you fb to the shop and see what fits.

I put on the FF wheels and bushings and they are killer. They make everything a lot easier. If u barely touch my deck, itll roll the entire length of my desk no problem. I highly recommened Flatface Bearing Wheels and the awesome service of Mike Schneider.

Bushings are only okay however, because the tightest they get inst as tight as i would like. They dont come loose tho which is good, but they start a lil loose.

MKS is NOT a flake. Tons of people have ordered shit from the USFBS and gotten it. Shipping just takes a while. And If you really feel that you got ripped (which you didn't) you can buy from fingerskateshop.de , they have C24 normal shapes for 14.90 EUR plus shipping. You just have to contact the dude and he will sell you one over Paypal. It's actually a very nice shop. It's where I order my C24 Smoothtape.

i said the C24 GUY was a flake not MKS. i said the owner of c24 (according to mike schneider) is a flake and rips ppl like MKS off. i didnt talk crap about MKS, although i sent him an email and ordered sumpthin like a week ago and he hasnt responded or anythin
i still have faith in my order, itll just take patience to wait (i really want it)

how is smoothtape?? better than normal grip? should i consider it? cuz the for riptape i havent gotten a responce from blackriverramps yet about paypal

FF wheels = <3333

Smoothtape is just like rip but cheaper. And Loco (the C24 guy) is actually not that bad. And MKS is sponsored by C24 anyways.
