High-Performance Urethane Built for Responsive Skating
Bones Hardcore Bushings are engineered specifically for high-performance skateboarding, not adapted from generic urethane stock. The Hardcore Medium formula uses a chemical bond between the urethane and the inner bushing core, reinforcing the structure so the bushing maintains its shape under repeated loading. That bond directly translates to a shorter break-in period and consistent rebound from the first session.
At 91A, the Hardcore Medium sits in a versatile range that provides resistance to lean while still allowing smooth, controlled turns. The double-action geometry works with your truck's geometry to deliver predictable response whether you are carving, cruising, or locking into technical tricks.
Bones Urethane: Made in Santa Barbara
Every Bones bushing formula is developed and produced at the Bones manufacturing facility in Santa Barbara, CA. Bones uses dramatically different physical and engineering properties for each urethane formula rather than a one-size-fits-all compound. The result is a bushing built around the actual mechanical demands of skateboarding: repeated compression, lateral shear, and temperature variation across pavement conditions.
What Is Included
Each set of Bones Hardcore Bushings includes two replacement top washers alongside the bushings themselves. The washers are matched to the bushing durometer to ensure consistent compression and rebound without adding unnecessary hardware.
Why Upgrade Your Bushings
Stock bushings are almost universally a compromise. Replacing them with a dedicated skateboarding compound like Bones Hardcore is one of the highest-return-per-dollar upgrades available on a complete setup. Improved turn response, reduced slop, and more predictable rebound affect every aspect of skating: street, park, transition, and cruising alike.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are skateboard bushings?
- Skateboard bushings are urethane rings that sit inside your truck's kingpin assembly. They control how easily the truck turns and how quickly it returns to center after a lean. Harder bushings resist turning more; softer ones feel more responsive. Replacing worn or stock bushings is one of the most effective ways to change how a board feels underfoot.
- What does 91A mean on skateboard bushings?
- 91A refers to the durometer, a standardized measure of urethane hardness on the A scale. 91A is a medium-firm rating that offers a balance of turn resistance and rebound, suitable for a wide range of skating styles and rider weights. Riders who want more response lean softer; riders who want more stability lean harder.
- What makes Bones Hardcore Bushings different from standard bushings?
- Bones Hardcore Bushings use a chemical bond between the urethane and the inner core rather than a simple press fit. This bond reinforces the bushing structure, reduces the break-in period, and keeps the bushing responsive over time. The urethane formula is also developed and manufactured entirely in-house at the Bones facility in Santa Barbara, CA, using properties tuned specifically for skateboarding.
- Do Bones Hardcore Bushings require a break-in period?
- The chemically bonded core construction significantly reduces the break-in period compared to standard bushings. Most riders find the Hardcore formula feels dialed within the first short session rather than requiring extended riding before the urethane settles.
- Are washers included with Bones Hardcore Bushings?
- Yes. Each set of Bones Hardcore Bushings includes two replacement top washers matched to the bushing's durometer for consistent performance.
- What type of skating are Bones Hardcore Bushings best for?
- The Hardcore Medium formula is versatile enough for street, park, and transition skating. The 91A durometer provides enough resistance to feel stable at speed while still allowing the smooth, controlled lean needed for technical tricks and carving.
