haha they're solid on it. I think the short overall length and shortish tail make them work. Frontside flips were the weirdest adjustment but I just had to change foot positions. I'm also kinda tall so long a wb doesn't isn't the worst thing for me

Oh man, love everything about this one. Curious to hear how it feels

[close]

I took it to this shitty park today and really like the board a lot, did a few kick flips and nollie flips and felt great. Only thing throwing me off was the wheels, they’re huge for me (usually on 52mm classics). I feel like I will get used to them, set this up to mainly just cruise the crusty roads in my neighborhood, May end up skating this setup a bit more than I anticipated. I also kinda regret not buying 2 of the board, I can already tell I’m going to love it. Maybe they will do more boards in this shape each drop.

[close]

What size wheels did you use? My 54mm 97a do feel heavier than 99a but maybe that's in my head

These are 56mm. The boards feels so heavy to me, but conical fulls are way wider than classics and 4mm bigger than my normal ones.

My brother was talking about getting back into skating, so a few months ago I bought him a Christmas complete with stim money. He's already lost interest and I guess it's mine now, LOL my ulterior motive all along. I have all big shaped boards right now, so I'm stoked to have a relatively small popsicle for flatground, ledges/curbs and mannys. My first pair of Ventures ever, sick to try some lighter trucks than my Indys. Not gonna lie though, the turn feels really weird... but I'll adjust to em.

flat washers and softer/shaved bushings should get you right with the ventures

Not me, I have two sets and they are both raw silver. I had a set with black baseplates and gray hangers about 15 years ago but I pretty much always roll with the raws

Was asking @off regarding his choice of aftermarket bushing for ventures.

I bought an extra set of the black Bones Hardcore bushings for my bro (he is heavyset) and I'm thinking about swapping them out just to see how they feel. Now I wish I bought some softer ones cuz the stock purple Venture ones are surprisingly firm and stable feeling, I'm just used to a quicker turn after running Indys for 25+ years

FrozenIndustries: my bad

white indy bottoms and shaved down purple tops (7mm ish). riptides only make it better

I've been running the white indy super softs in my 5.8s and have been very pleased. Previously was running some shaved ace bushings but they weren't doing it. Threw in the white indy bushings and found the turn I was looking for

I like them a lot, suede is holding up really well with just a couple scuffs. The N is falling off on both shoes but I don't really mind.

It's a Marc McKee graphic he did for Jesse Neuhaus and Deckaid a few years ago.

First deck with more of a “traditional” shape in a while - been skating mostly Hockey and Polar decks with bigger square noses for the past year. I don’t usually pay attention to woodshops and stuff but this is a Generator and the deck feels super thick and heavy.
