Stiff bushings are your friend with longboards. If you dont have them things get very sketchy in a hurry. Once you get upto speed the stiff bushings come alive.
Check out the Original S series trucks. No bushes, just an adjustable torsion spring. Interesting to get used to, but once you do, they're a whole new world. There is a slight effort to get them to turn, then almost an even pressure all the way to full lock. Unlike rubber bushed trucks, where the more turn you want, the harder it gets.
Caveat, haven't tried the Originals at more than about 40 kph......
