The funny thing about the venture pop is I’ll whiff and still get more height than popping on another truck….it’s something I got used to and grew to really like. The trucks are stable so you can put your foot in the pocket and just think of the pop. With trucks like Aces, I’m always moving around and the turning is always present, I don’t have the power, confidence or skill to skate those trucks well…
My tensor knowledge is not great and I know there has been some redesigns but the mags I tried turned horribly compared to venture hi’s…..which don’t turn great but you loosen them up, they do the job….even on transition I liked them, because you can put all your weight on side.
Wheelbase wise, it bugs me but doesn’t affect me much, if I had my way, every board made by BBS would have 1/8-1/4 inch off all the wheelbases and I’d be chill. And change the alloy or process with ventures making them grind the same as Indy/thunder…..I don’t even need an IKP…
