All new everything to slowly get me back into skating instead of just cruising after breaking my leg.

Black Label 8.5"
Venture 5.8
Girl 1/8" risers
Zealous bearings (with built in spacers)
OJs Little doodies 58 mm 92A

Been cruising with my big cruiser for a month or so now with 78A 60 mm Ricta Clouds. Compared to that these Little doodies feel slow as fuck. But at least these slide. Managed to do a few reverts today. No ollies still for a while, but I feel like it's all coming back, slowly but surely.

Also whoever said Ventures don't turn was either mad or hasn't tried the 5.8's cuz these feel lovely. Totally stock and I don't even feel like fucking with them at all. Didn't even tighten them. Stable enough in the middle but they still turn lovely without much effort.

Dude,why would anyone want to tighten up their trucks, especially ventures?? Loose is the way to go, stock indys ftw!

[close]

I suck and weigh about 90 kg, so stock Indys are death for me. I need that middle stability and preferably no wheelbite, especially sudden and unexpected wheelbite, which is what I get with stock Indys.

Venture Highs are kind of unsung in the turning department. They don't get wheelbite and turn better than Indy and as good as Thunder IMO. I'm surprised they don't get more love. Maybe a bit more effort to pop.

I've got a set that and they turn just fine but the extra wheel base does mess with your timing if your not riding them exclusively. Other than that no complaints.

I did try manualing a bit on that setup and it was a bit weird cuz the wheelbase is pushed out compared to Indys and Aces I have on other set ups. Interesting to see how it goes for popping tricks once I'm able to do that. 

Also those 92A wheels are weird. My 54 mm Keyframes roll so much better than the 58 mm Little doodies. Yet the wheels are kinda too soft. I dunno what they'd be good for. Definitely seems like a bad compromise between soft and hard wheels. Thankfully they were cheap.

Those doodies scare me and yet intrigue me at the same time.  The riding surface looks tiny.

They're pretty much balls. Weird ass wheels for sure but slow as all hell. I gotta switch out the bearings and test them again but today i tested them side by side with 101A Formula Fours, 87A Keyframes and 78A Clouds on asphalt and they were noticeably slower than any of the other wheels. Maybe I'll report back here or the wheels thread.

Set I rode was like skating on fresh black top.
Way to go OJ.

I had a set a year or 2 ago, they're just slow. It won't matter what bearings you have in there. And they're super easy to flat spot.

quality looking setup. how do you like those shoes? i saw cardiel in an interview wearing them and I like how they look.

[essal]

i actually really like them despite having the thinnest insole I've skated in a bit. It's like 1/3 of the thickness of a normal ultracush.
