I used 8 barrel cushions on my PowerDyne DynaPros - the kingpins on the plates were just slightly too short to permit the cushions to fit properly; I had to cut down the cushions to permit the right amount of truck movement. I cut approx 1/16" to 1/8" off just the bottom cushion, between the truck and the nut, on each kingpin. With that mod, they work great. The blue cushions are really soft, and permit the perfect amount of flex in my trucks. According to the PowerDyne reps at RollerCon, PowerDyne doesn't currently sell any hardness of cushions except for the little rocks that come standard on all their plates, so making these cushions work was a lifesaver.

First time change out of my cushions, got new to me skates and I think they had the factory cushions. I'm over 130pds using the yellow ones, they feel so great!

I bought these in yellow for my R3s at the same time as I bought myself a set of Boom wheels. I installed both the wheels and cushions at the same time, so I have to speak for them both at once. The cushions made an immediate and huge difference. My cuts across the track are so much tighter and weaving through the pack ain't no thang. Expect to tighten your trucks after you install the cushions or your skates will probably slide in the wrong direction on your first time around the rink (mine certainly did). I've been recommending them to my freshie teammates at every opportunity. Must have, especially if you've got a pretty basic cushion-truck set-up right now.

The first thing I do with fresh meat skaters, no matter their skill level, is swap out their factory, hard as stone cushions and replace them with Sure-Grip Super Cushions. You simply cannot get full mobility out of your skates without them. I have swapped out 50+ sets of cushions for people and every single one was ecstatic with the responsiveness of their skates. I use mostly purple and yellow, but really small people love the blues as well. Before you buy new wheels, get these cushions!

Increased maneuverability and comfort while skating. It's amazing what a difference cushions can make. Highly recommend looking at your cushions.

Using Suregrip Super Cushions made it seem like I had purchased a new pair of skates. Cheap way to upgrade your skate. Made a huge difference in skate response. Two thumbs up

Buying new cushions changed my skating! As a lightweight skater I struggled to work with the stiffer cushions that came on my skates, and chose a pair of blue Super Cushions as my next victims - I love them, no complaints. If you're looking to upgrade your skate setup but are strapped for funds, I highly suggest picking up a new pair of cushions, especially if you have never changed your originals! If you happen to be someone = at all unsure which cushions are the right ones for you, the Rollergirl staff are amazingly helpful... just ask!

Amazing! Cheapest way to upgrade your setup. The difference in response between these and the standard cushions that come on your skates is unbelievable. I'm a 120lb so I chose the softest (blue), I definitely noticed the difference in my agility.

Lisa recommended I upgrade from the stock cushions for my Reidell Deathgrips. Having recently started skating I wasnt sure if I would notice the difference and boy did I. I'm 155lbs and got a set of yellow and purple ones. Difference was amazing and for the price you cant beat it.

What can I say, Love, Love, Love these cushions! I was skating on the world's hardest cushions before, it seemed like. I am also small, 120lbs and 5 FT 2, so naturally I needed a soft cushion. What a huge difference it has made in making sharp turns. I highly reccommend.
