I am curious to see / hear if the dipped boards are all natural, stained at all or what, which will soon show easily enough once you skate it.

I'll throw up some pics in the scrape report thread at some point. Want to skate my venture setup more again. I think the bottom ply is purple. Unsure about the top, but if I had to guess, maybe also purple? Playing off of the name lol

Because ventures are sick

Had the wheel wells in the last one so I could ride 60mm NFG 95a but once the weather started hitting triple digits every day, they felt like they were softening up during the session so I swapped em with the 97s.

One thing to note, the wheel wells flattened out the kicks and concave a touch so may be an option for mellowing out a deck that feels too steep. I’ve never setup the exact same board after adding wheel wells before so I never had that direct comparison to notice the change. Sorry for the essay.

killer sticker jobs, makes me want to try harder whenever i see something like you're doing

Thanks! Growing up in Houston, KTRU Rice University radio stickers were ubiquitous to the extent that people would get big stacks, chop em up, and make their own :

So ever since, I’ve been a fan of remixing stickers, especially if I can get enough of one sticker to keep the overall look the same. In this case, my kid got this huge bootleg pack of stickers with all sorts of weird logos and a bunch of familiar corpo logos so I have lots of letters to work with.

haha no way dude, i grew up in houston too. a ktru reference is the last response i expected to get, haven't had it come up in years so a huge thank you for the memory jog - it made my week.

Hell yeah

I don’t buy into the trucks “don’t turn” argument. I think you can make any truck do what you want. I’d say they are more surfy than thunder. I mostly like them for the weight and height

Tensor ATG His turn great, just as good as most other trucks on the market. Tensor ATG Los don't turn very well, but that aspect of them helps you not wheelbite too much. I skated ATG Los for a while and was pretty used to them, I didn't realize they turned poorly until I skated a different truck for a bit and then went back to them.
