New skateboard bushings ripped

This is very off topic, but you know, off topic forum is off topic... Anyway, I got some Independent S10 trucks today, and after about 1 hour of ollies and failed 360 flips, the very top of my bushings chipped off a tad. The top being when you have the skateboard upside-down. It's just little pieces coming out from under the metal cover on the bushings, but I'm just wondering if it's normal or not... So is it?

I don't skate, but my son does so I made a point of learning what I could.

It is normal, bushings tear and crack easily and some people prefer their bushings broken in.

If it bothers you, you can replace them with after market bushings.

Okay thanks, yeah it doesn't bother me I just wanted to make sure they weren't going to explode or anything from it.
