Lolz. They have the longer oval holes in them so you can slide them up or down to fit whichever truck you are using, vs. fixed hole risers.

Ah I gotcha man, I can never find ones that fit Ventures correctly.

Yeah bones do fit great, I just went with dooks because I didn't want to stack two 1/8" bones risers. OCD thing. Before I went with bigger wheels on these Ventures I ran 1/8" Bones and it was nice.

Great setup. I’d love to see a top shot of that setup.
That deck is rad and I wanted to pick one up but I was worried about truck sizes/hot rodding. Is that deck 8.5 over the rear truck?

It's 8.5" at its narrowest point. But even then, on 169's the hot rodding isn't crazy.

I like the specs and the graphic a lot. The kicks seem kinda steep, or is it just the angle?

[chris.]

@fs1/2cab it does have pretty steep kicks. It’s listed as mellow concave/steep kick and I’d say that holds true.

Nice

How are the Krux

[JugeL]

Love them with bones bushings. Not for everybody though, all my friends hate the way they feel. I personally like the wiggle at the centre. Makes pinching grinds feel easier for me.

Still need to try K5s

I love this combo. Depends on the 8.5", since obviously there's some variance between makers, but I've got 159s on a 8.5" Skate Warehouse blank and it's nice and snug. I'm not much of a flipper these days, but this board is great for ollies, slappies, pool skating, etc.

The kicks and concave are a little more mellow than the Ishod twin tails. I actually prefer steeper boards but I skated this for a little bit yesterday and it felt reallllly good. If they keep making them I'll keep skating them, symmetrical boards are the best

Darn! I figured with twin noses they’d be on the steeper side. That’s what I’m looking for on a symmetrical board.
