venture low talks, interesting
around 7:14, Sewa starts talking about how he only skates Ventures pre 2011. does anyone know what the actual difference is between the old and new ones? i got back into skating like 6 years ago and had no clue the geo changed during that time.
The old Ventures have less wobble to them, which I preferred. They also turned slightly less. I could never get used to the latest version, they just have a different feel.
most of us venture folks skated the lo’s, or that’s how it felt.
there were two ‘old heads’ (both younger than me, but actually good at skating), that skated venture hi’s, exclusively, both on them from the very early 2000s. both switched around the time of the dlx acquisition. only one of them mentioned the dlx geo being different. he switched to 139s i think. the other guy (super super good) switched to ace, but i think that may have something to do with old industry connections.
aaaaaaaaaaanyways, i thought him liking the old ones was rad.
his treflips are really unique. i can’t think of someone else that does them like that. they are like a flatter, much higher daewon 360 flip. sorta (not really).
lots of flatground pop, which i love.
i really liked Ben’s last two videos. he and sewa did stumble over one another a bit, and Ben did over speak him too much. but overall mr degros has a really easy style and it works.
