When it’s not feeling good anymore.

well they arent designed to be run with threads showing

It always amazes me that people don't get this.

It's what harder bushings are for.

One of the combos I've used was the ACE low top and a bones medium bottom (second best was 96a indy tops bone med bottom).

What's the problem with having threads showing though? I don't like the look of it either, but is there any real negative performance impact? On smith grinds you're probably still hitting the nut and not the kingpin itself with a few threads showing, right?

[LebowskisRug]

I do wonder if a compressed 90a bushing has different rebound kinetics than a less compressed bushing of a harder duro. It’s already storing energy from higher compression.

[Uncle Flea]

My local  don’t got the new bushings. I feel like they might not get them too soon. They got mad aftermarket stuff for other trucks rn. Their premium components packages comes with ventures tho. That’s dope. The serious first time skater will be more likely to go for the dope shit.

Anyway what shop should I order these from?

Other than personal preference…If I decided not to crank them down to 3 threads showing. They would be really unstable. I’m talking shackle loose, it would also shred the bushings. Idk if I got an even shorter bushing from the batch. There’s a good amount of space even at a thread and half. I did see someone on the set-up thread w/ the standard baseplate and he had a thread and half. I would also like to keep my forged hollow baseplate from being grounded down.

Loose trucks save lives bro…..

Someone was posting on here about wheel well boards and how they pair with ventures, can't find the original post so I'll just post here instead.

I'm skating 5.6 ventures, white thunder bottoms, bones soft tops with flat washers (odd config I know) with some probably 52/53mm wheels on an 8.5 polar with wells. Had the first skate on it yesterday and the wells definitely help out with wheelbite a fair bit, I was getting away with some shitty landings that'd normally throw me off, carving seems somewhat better too.

Looking at the marks on the underside, it's still been biting a little bit on the outskirts of where the wells actually are. Could be that the wells are designed for trucks with a smaller wb, or the fact i'm running trucks slightly shorter than the board. Overall though I'm very pleased with it.

Tight ventures are the only ventures. You guys are trying to make them something they aren’t.

Tell that to Yaje Popson lol

[Bunk Moreland]

Nobody gives a fuck about Yaje Popson.

[Ok]

Nobody gives a fuck about Yaje Popson.

Ha. True.
I like that he’s a weirdo, and he can have some interesting skating for sure. There is definitely something there.
On the other hand: white griptape and jogger sweats, and fully extinguished cigs before popping any/every trick

venture branded "loose trucks conversion kit"
"you guys"

[Bunk Moreland]

Yes, YOU GUYS. There’s 97 pages of motherfuckers whining about wheelbase, washers, bushings, leaning, and not being able to use a skate tool. Maybe ventures aren’t for you.

[munchbox]

fair point
most of those types go back to what they like anyway

[intendedreceivers]

Yes, YOU GUYS. There’s 97 pages of motherfuckers whining about wheelbase, washers, bushings, leaning, and not being able to use a skate tool. Maybe ventures aren’t for you.

But man, once you find a skate tool that doesn’t bind into the metal and bushings that allow the hanger to turn, Ventures are a ton of fun.

[LebowskisRug]

Just curious has anyone ever seen a single Venture rider do any of these mods to their trucks? Like I wonder if Manderson even noticed he switched trucks.

Does the same logic apply to Daewon's exuberant bushing washer setup giving his Tensor's wobble, a truck that was designed for stability? Or Gerwer fucking with his Thunders to make them looser? Shit maybe Danny Way, Burnquist and all those other mega ramp skaters putting hard bushings in their Indys and cranking them down with the threads showing should just skate Tensor's instead, since they're trying to make Indy's something they aren't

I really do not understand why you're so pressed over people tinkering with their trucks.

Yeah the most I've seen pro's who ride venture tinker with their trucks is putting bones bushings in them. But the majority ride them stock. I used to use bones and do the flat washer thing but recently I've been riding them stock and I like them best that way.

[Cthulhu!]

The good guys at Seasons have them in.

I think those two (and others) would do that to any truck brand they were riding for...no truck is that loose....even tho ACE stock come damn close to wobbly without the actual wobble.

Wobble.

What size would be good for 8.25/8.38. Should I go 5.6 or 5.8?

[Idk]

What size would be good for 8.25/8.38. Should I go 5.6 or 5.8?

5.6 if you never are gonna size up or you love love tre flips or 5.8 if you’re probably gonna stay 8.38

[Sk.A.T.A.N]

5.6 with 3 speedrings on the inside is my jam.

I always switch it up between 8.25 and 8.38 regularly
