Lol. Eldee is definitely a human. He’s like a raider on horse back who’s kinda scared to do battle. Somehow he closes his eyes and swings his sword wildly and wakes up in a pile of dead orcs.

venture 5.8 standard, flat top washer, element bushings (they got mushy as fuck and feel so fucking good now when skating but they don’t snap back to center)

Well, now I've heard everything

Had no idea they make bushings. I'm beyond shocked.

i don't think they sell them as a standalone product, but there are element trucks and i'm using the bushings from an old set of these that a homie left at the skateshop i work at. the reason why i'm using these is that the venture (supercush?) aftermarket bushings are impossible to find in poland, the stock ones i had broke, and all of the other aftermarket bushings were too tall for ventures (or at least too tall for me, because i prefer looser trucks). i wanted to order the loose trucks venture bushings from germany but shipping cost more than the bushings, so i passed on that. the element bushings were the same height as venture stock or maybe a hair shorter, and they're pretty soft too so they work for me, my ventures turn better and sharper than before, but as i said before they don't snap back to center. this doesn't really bother me when i'm skating, but whenever my board shoots out it's pretty much unpredictable
I'm ok with theft. It happens to me all the time.
I steal too

I pushed around on some Element complete with branded trucks and they were incredibly soft bushings, kinda like Tensor alloys. Definitely kid friendly since they lack the weight to get any turn on 90a bushings.

Dude the 22's are kinda insane. Hella turny to start with plus they're really narrow and this thing has like a 13.25 wb. Whatever you put them on they'll be a blast to just ride with a shit eating grin

I do not mean this in any way as an insult, but that is the precise setup I imagine from a Berate the Birds/Gifted Hater Patreon subscriber.

Tom K is also a big movie nerd so I'd guess an "Escape from LA" reference, which MGS / Hideo Kojima borrowed heavily from.

Similar story for me. Welcome back and keep the momentum going. Once you get back into the groove of things, it becomes a little easier imo.

How do you like those 161s @Dong Hanglo  ?
they're killer! I was fine with the idea of riding Indy 169s or Ace 55s for my whole life. Its really cool that other brands have a wide option as of the last few years. Thunders are really good trucks.
