The Set-up Thread

[LebowskisRug]

That's likely the size board I should ride at my height, but here I am telling myself that my 8.38/148 is a tank

[Daewons front truck]

I have an everyday street set up and a wild hair transition setup that gets used once or twice a month

I can't tell if this a joke or not due to these setups coming straight out of 2005

I bought a ton of sets ten years ago when augie was still making them, slowly gave a bunch away or lost the boards that had then. Sadly he stopped a few years ago and passed away. They're hard to find here, and this is the hometown. Now I've only got a few sets. Really bummed because I used to have the label flame and Tony Hawk models.

I love the 8.28 DLX shape. Curious to try the even shorter WB true fit mold 8.25, but that might be too short for me

[DarkPools]

The last 3 set ups in the posts/quotes about are solid! Digging some of the coordination/design ideas behind em

[Orangepulp1000]

Exactly the same as last time…

How short is the wb on the true fit mold?

I had this 8.28 doomsayers board in 2017 ish, and it was memorable. Just worked really well, wood (bbs I’m assuming) was excellent. Was definitely a shorter deck.

13.88” and the length is 31.5”

Does anyone know if there is a low 8.25 venture? If there ever was one or any news of one in the future? I know a lot of people would disagree but that would be my perfect truck

Could you elaborate? I don’t quite understand why they wouldn’t work.

Second session today on this setup, it was a bit wet where I was skating and my bushings felt funky. Deck shape seems fine so far. I didn't plan to do the forbidden 14 but no rail in sight the last few weeks.

Too low to the ground. They would wheelbite at such a low height.

Search through the venture thread. Good bit of info on it.

Still a pipe dream, but maybe if everyone in the Venture thread DMs DLX like men / women, maybe they will finally act the collective voice of 20 idiots on an antiquated internet message board.

@ok Pasta Monster here nailed it. It might be similar to an 8.25 from the mid 2000’s though, so I’m gonna give one a shot eventually

I’ve skated venture lows since I was a kid, I would happily put up with the wheel bite haha
There are other companies that have done wider low trucks, I think it would sell well but I’m biased haha
