I've rode 3 different trucks the past 2 years. Indy, Venture, Thunder, and in that order.
Indys standards really did turn well, I felt surfy, and I was carving bowls when I first got them. I was riding 8.5 boards at the time. Responsive and quick turn in. I wanted to lose weight before I started trying flip tricks again due to my bad ankles. They definitely take more effort to flip. After awhile the bushing broke apart and was splooging out. I got the bones hards, and they didnt turn as quick but at least they never broke. Worked well for me, since im 200lbs. If I make a big boy setup; 8.5in more for cruising I'd want Indys again.
Ventures feel like home, I used to skate them in the mid 2000s with 7.75 boards. I was interested in longer wheelbase trucks just in case I bought a shorter WB deck. I got a good deal on some Venture bobby worrest models. Had a cool green bushing. They felt a little lighter than the Indys. By that point I was consistently skating 8.38 decks and doing flip tricks again. I cant say anything bad or anything amazing about them, they felt good, very middle of the road. Very reliable, stable, hardly every loosened, so I never carried skate tools. My main complaint is that bolts were harder to take off due to having to angle the skate tool, when it comes to deck swap time. (Its been 4 months since I've ridden the ventures, actually itching to ride em again)
I found some lightly used Thunders with hollow kingpin someone left at the spot one day. This was my first time skating a hollow anything. I love the lower effort required, especially for flipping the board. Felt good. The bushing quickly crumbled and were coming out. Switched over to my bones hards I had previously used on the Indy's. At first it felt weird. Like the board only wanted to turn one direction, and tight yet wheel bitey, after a day felt better. They work but the turn in / responsiveness slowed down a bit. I think what I like most is the lightness factor, long wheelbase, and theyre good looking. Less weight just makes skating easier, especially for someone with bad ankles. Good trucks.
Out of all 3 the indys turned the best. The ventures were the best truck "stock", stock bushing never broke, and felt harder than the others. Skating felt easiest with the Thunders. I need to try other Trucks "light" version to be fair.
