Threw my Ti/Forged on a 14.44 WB for the hell of it....didn't hate it, thought I would..it's a Creature, pretty flat concave (stated as medium) kicks are abrupt AFTER the fingers of flat, so with the Ventures it's a bit odd....from the bolt holes it's about two fingers of flat...from the end of the baseplate (underside/roadside) to the tail kick it's less than a fingers width; basically the kick starts right at the baseplate.
I'm still trying to find out what the best pairing deck-wise is: steep/flat, long tail, short tail, etc., for power specifically...madness
Also, the ACE bushing (low top, reg bottom)/Riptide combo is still the best I've found for my turning preferences. They're really nice and swevrey (not twitchy or carvey). I'm bouncing between these with small wheels med/mellow kicks and Tensor ATGs with bigger wheels and steeper kicks because why not.
