Bustin Boards Jeff Vyain - on the Axcelspring Washer Cups

"I have some of these washers on my Grennett and I have to say I am feeling the same thing. Feels as precise as things have ever felt."
Jeff Vyain

Quoted from Pavedwave.org

We're getting some great feedback on the new machined precision washer cups, people who are riding them are loving them. We have some more shops across the US that will be carrying them soon. We will be adding their links to the Axcelspring Washer Cups page as soon as they receive them and are ready to ship them to customers. Thanks to Jeff Vyain for riding on our Grennett and the washer cups, Jeff is a ripping fast rider for Bustin Boards out in New York. Jeff also won the first Adrenalina Skateboard Marathon.

Secret Long Distance Pumping Spot - Shhhhh!



Thane Magee hoists his Griffin Cone Killer board in the air, over feeling of the new spot we found last year. This place is the perfect little LDP path, out of the way, with virtually no one on it for miles. Smooth, with a few little zippy sections from some rolls in the terrain. Needless to say, this place was made for skating.

Axcelspring Washer Cups - Skateboard Truck Washers

Warning! These washers are going to make things too fun! If you like rebound, you'll love these!
Just for the record so there is no confusion, our Axcelspring washer cups are still considered washers. Skateboard washer and washer cups are two things that the same but not the same. But these aren't washer cups in the normal sense of the word. These are like flat skateboard washers, with an internal sleeve that fits inside the bushing for a tight fit. They're still washers, but we call em washer cups, but you can call them washers, it makes no difference.
Longboards, shortboards, downhill, LDP, slalom, freeriding, cruising, sidewalk surfing, it doesn't matter how you skate, these will help take things to the next level for you.
Many skaters underestimate the importance of the role that washers "washer cups" play in the delicate balance between the baseplate, the hanger, the washers, the bushings, the kingpin and the nut. The washers have a huge impact on the way a bushing reacts. Look at Bones Hardcores,they are great bushings for a reason. These washer cups create a super tight fit and hug the kingpin with Swiss watch fit. Once everything is tightened up and ready to roll, you will feel an immediate improvement in the way your trucks turn and rebound. Check em out!

Griffin Delrin Pivot Cups

We've been so busy lately working getting the Axclespring Washer Cups ready out to the world, and working on out upcoming Horseshoe bracket. We didn't get the chance to really pimp our precision Delrin Pivot cups. We're currently offering them for Bennett trucks, and for our Grennett models These are machined from high quality Delrin stock to exact tolerances and make a huge difference in the performance of your Bennett trucks. There is a lip on the top of the cup to make them easier to remove with a flat head screwdriver. When you combine these with a polished and smooth pivot, and a little Griffin Grease, they feel like a poor-mans ball pivot truck. Extremely effective for LDP, slalom, and any sort of pumping. We're selling these for $10.00 for (1) pivot cup, plus shipping. Once you try them you'll wonder how you rode without them in the first place. Our quest for for a precise responsive ride never ends.......... Happy skating!
