Skate cushions how they work
Skate cushions have a real job ahead of them by increasing traction softening your ride plus maximise your mobility.
The default cushions on skateboards and roller skates are really hard as in 98 to 100a this is because beginners have to lean balance before leaning mobility this is why every manufacturer starts off with hard stiff cushions and when the rider becomes more instantaneous in handling wheels under there feet this is the time to increase your mobility.
Most brand cushions come in 4 hardnesses so what is the right cushion hardness to choose simple rule of thumb is to choose a cushion hardness durometer to the rider’s body weight and yes this is as close as might be right.
Going too soft could be too responsive or too hard and you reduce wheel traction when turning it really is a personal preference.
The reason you gain traction with softer cushions is when leaning into a left turn for example softer cushions flex more and you don’t tend to lift the right wheel off the ground whereas hard cushions don’t flex as much causing less traction.
