These high density standard and conical cushions are specifically shaped to make the Venus and Apollo plates responsive not reactive. The top cushion fits through the Venus truck so it touches the lower cushion which makes for an incredible combination.
Compatible with both Apollo and Venus plates. (These will not work with most other trucks on the market because the top cushion needs to fit through the truck, and they are slightly thicker than other cushions.)
HOW TO BUY:
First choose a cushion type:
- Top (barrel-shaped) are the larger, barrel-shaped upper cushions
- Agilty (conical-shaped) or Stability (slightly conical) refer to the shape of the smaller, lower cushion. (See Crazy Skates cushion chart for details on agility vs stability.)
Then choose a cushion hardness:
You will need an upper (top) and a lower cushion (agility/stability) to make a complete cushion. Cushions are sold as sets of 4.
Hardnesses can be mixed and matched. Remember that the larger barrel-shaped upper cushion (top)—the one that that goes through the core of the truck and provides the stability of an edge—should most always be the harder cushion if they are mixed and matched. The smaller lower conical-shaped cushion provides the quick and sharp movements and should most always be the softer cushion if they are mixed and matched.
