John Dilo also had the same pants on a couple of days ago

Idk if I need to be that awake. Maybe if it was like black sweats with the side print. Vintage Winged V thrasher colab thing maybe? Pull them up with high socks and some AF1s and a painters cap.  Trash zone.

I'm not really sure which trucks to go for. I'm in between Venture cast 6.1, or the 6.1 hollows or Thunder lites 151. My deck is a 14.38 wheelbase, will the venture hollow lights be too much with the extended wheelbase? I might bve thinking too much about this ha.

I just did this transition a month ago, from 151s to 6.1 Ventures. I love them. Wheelbase is a little longer, I had ghostpop for about 2 days, but since it clicked, this has been the best change to my setup in years.

Not that deep of an analysis, but do it man.

Cheers, think I might get the thunders and ventures and whichever I prefer less will put on a cruiser board. Have been skating aces and am not a massive fan of the pop feel.

Wide boards with super magic carpeted trucks are pretty fun though honestly. Way easier to flick and control flips with in my experience. This setup looks really doofy though ngl

I have a good feeling about the lowering kit for winter skating. My bushings are fully broken in. I had to tighten my back truck a little so several threads are showing.

I know I'll be able to turn this year and I won't have to ace.

These a good days fam. I really really really have never been this happy with my set up.

Cool that they have a cast base plate. Lame that there is no 6.1.

I just want to say... 2022 Venture stock translucent purple bushings are the best bushings ever.

Just for anybody looking for loose Ventures:
Personally, after two weeks of skating I had to swap out at least the bottom bushing of my "Loose Kit", because it was just too twitchy and turny and uncontrollable.
Now using Indy soft conicals and hoping it'll hold up a bit better.

Just set up a board with my 5.8s again, they have a cut down Ace top bushing with a flat washer. Feels even better than I remember.

1st day ever on ventures (5.6 v-lights):

They felt amazing, the turn was so much better than expected, I was about to be fully awake, BUT THEN:

The bushings broke in? They got super hard and the trucks pretty much stopped turning. The nut is barely on and it's still far from enough. They went from perfect to terrible in about 30 minutes.

Which bushings will give me the feel of venture bushings BEFORE they break in?

Coming from thunders, manuals felt ridiculously easy. Like they just held themselves. I'm happy, but the turn needs to change.

Definitely indy 90a, broke some stock venture top bushing. Untill I have no spare left. Then I throw indy bushing in them. Running well now, but I live in a place almost always above 15 degree C

supercush 90a (stock duro of venture) or 88a if you're feeling frisky, also check/wax your pivot cup

White Indy replacement
The dlxsf low rider kit I been using.

The purple will loosen back up in like few months. Honestly I'd just take .5mm off the top little less of the bottom.

I've found that ventures don't do well with a conical bushing. Takes from the Manny ability

Do the venture stocks really tighten up that much after the first thirty minutes when they’re broken in? Never skated the stocks, always just put in aftermarkets right off the bat with every set of ventures I’ve had, but my next set I was gonna try to skate the stock bushings. I prefer a more medium tight truck anyways so it might just work out to my liking.

A homie hooked me up with the white indy super soft 78a. I thought those would be unrideable but they really are perfect. Thank you for the recommendation

Was curious about this, just got a set in the mail with green but the bottom bushing in both is different. One is cloudy and one is actually shorter and feels different in terms of hardness.

Hell yeah np. There's a few pals who do that bushing. They are sick. They do freeze up.

If I wanna ride my trucks in sub zero for more than a few hrs I used a Bones top bushing from time to time.

I am the type to skate more in cold weather.
