Yes I love that and everything else on this page.

Well done people. *claps*

Where are you all getting these slick Venture stickers? I never get them with my trucks

The only free shit with trucks that I’ve ever gotten are metal tags with Thunders if they’re signature (pro). Venture stickers are free-$2 depending on the shop, what you buy, and how much or often you support the shop.

That DOA is great, including the sticker placement.

Wasn't familiar with this shape so I looked it up. Looks fun af. I'm trying to avoid spending too much on gear, but I'm interested in this one. Do you think Ace classic 44s would magic carpet too much on this deck?

Well the board is only 8.8 in the widest part which is just below the front bolts. At the back bolts it measures about 8.375 and at the front bolts it measures about 8.625 so you could possibly get away with the classic 44s although I personally feel like i'm cutting it close using indy 149s so you might find that the 44s are just too small.

Appreciate the measurements. Yeah like you and versacekid420 said it seems like 44 classics are too small. If I ever upgrade to 55 hollows I might revisit this.

I started out searching for a perfect set up again after breaking 4 primitive decks in less than a month.
I could swear they were warping after every light session as well. Might be that I'm 250 pounds with gear on lol



I've had this board since 2020 or so when it got reissued. I could never get it to work. Tried stage 7 indys, modern indys, ace and venture.
I tried these thunders now and it worked. I was skeptical cause wheelbite but it doesn't wheelbite as much as i thought.
8.5 AWS with a 14.18 wb. I think wheelbase matters more than deck width and concave. I could skate a 7.5 with low ventures and the 8.5 with thunders with little adjustment. They have almost the same wheelbase.

Black Magic grip. Its the best.

Thunder 151 , added hard indy bottom barrel and venture loose kit top green bushings. Not for performance but for looks. Rasta colors man.....

I love them. I’ve had them for about 3 years, and just started skating them 4 months ago. I’ve had them in every variation, stage 10 and 11, these turn just like normal Indy’s, but have a faster snap.

Aside from Bronze aren't all of those brands that used to sponsor Jerry? Nice.
