As a fellow slightly on the taller side with some long legs, will skating ventures feel better than aces due to the diff way they effect wheelbase? Or does it not make that big of a diff?
Pretty much the two opposite ends of the truck scale, going from Ace 55s to Venture, guessing either 5.8 or 6.1s for size comparison?
As you had said, you are on an 8.38 now, but 8.5 to 8.75 in the past so that also can be different board to truck size, feel, etc.
I just set up an 8.75 Polar board with 14.375 wb on the basic Venture 6.1 trucks and the thing actually feels way more fun than I would have thought. Had the trucks on something else before that, which just wasn't doing it for me, but I thought I should mix it up and see how it goes. All second hand / used parts, just figuring out what works and what doesn't work.
Other longer wb boards also feel ok with these trucks too, like the DLX 8.75 shape / white eagle which has 14.62 wb, but I prefer the more mellow / less steep kicks on anything I ride which might have helped it work for me.
Longer legs definitely help there for me, I am guessing, but it is also down to what you are used to more than anything.
