Skate Parts & Components

Roller skate cushions, or bushings, are critical components located near each truck that compress and allow skates to turn. Skaters can fine tune how stable or responsive their skates are by adjusting and replacing their cushions.

To ensure compatibility, skaters should seek out the brand of cushions that matches their plate or explore RipTide Cushions, a brand that offers after market cushions in a range of sizes and hardnesses.
