What durometer are Venture stock bushings? What would you guys recommend for something softer in Ventures? The Venture soft (90A) red bushings aren?t easy to come by and I dunno if they?re soft enough. On Aces I run stock bushings and in Indys Bones medium.
All of the stock venture bushings regardless of color are 90a. If you want something softer, DLX supercush or the aftermarket indys fit perfectly in ventures.
Thanks. Maybe I'll try some Indy bushings. They're widely available at least. For some reason after breaking my leg and now slowly coming back I seem to prefer much looser trucks than before. Like night and day pretty much. So even though my previous opinion on stock Ventures was that they're pretty damn good, now I think I want them to be much looser. Interesting to see how they'll perform with some soft bushings.
from what i understand/experience - the big 3 (venture thunder independent) all use a 90a stock bushing right? ive tried to use the stock thunders (the white ones, clearish yellow ones) but i just cant! i gotta have something more harder likea 95, 97 duro - i also weigh 130 pounds/ 5 foot 7 - so i think that matters?
I weigh 200 pounds (90 kg) and am 6 foot 1 (186 cm).
I used to rock Bones hards on Indys and medium top stock bottom on Aces tightened down a lot. I could still turn on my board but it needed quite a bit of effort for sure. Dunno if that came from my snowboarding background as with a snowboard you usually have to put quite some force to the board to make it turn compared to a skateboard.
Now coming back from my injury I've felt like I want the board to turn much more easily, maybe because my legs aren't that strong right now and I'm doing less tricks, so I'm not so afraid of wheelbite.
I guess my point is that my view of how trucks should turn has changed drastically and I think I can kinda understand both sides, loose and soft & hard and tight as I've been in both camps recently.
