What bushing setup do you run? (self.esk8)

I recently switched to softer bushings on my Lacroix LSSS (80A back, 70A front -> 70A back, 60A front) and it did wonders for me. I still have to check out the top speed for wobbles but so far no issues there.

I always wondered why the bushing crowd online was raving on about it all the time but now I see why.

Which setups do you use?

I'm pushing 30 and I would say no!
I have met some people over 40 happily riding an EUC so I don't see why not :)
The important thing IMO is that you ride according to your capability to handle sudden events.

Do you have experience longboarding? If yes, I would definitely recommend it.
When people ask me about difficulty, I always recommend them to do a little bit of longboarding beforehand.

Some skills I find useful:

being able to shuffle around your feet on the board while riding (swiftness when taking off in traffic)
confidently riding over bumps and holes (overall confidence, also means less muscle strain)
being able to footbreak, if ever at some point electronics would break (peace of mind)
knowing at what speeds you can jump off comfortably (safety)

These come to mind, there are probably more

Seeing electric skateboards in my feed reminds me to take a ride every now and then.

They are also very cool.
