Hey. I'm gonna go full goon too and do Ticast Indy's. Once I change the bushings they'll be about $100 retail. Doesn't make me feel kooky, not at all. And I never trip on having a board that is worth almost $300.
But really.. I'm gonna run ticast..

Nothing wrong with that I use to run indy tits for a couple years never had any problems with all 3 pair. Switched to venture this year. It’s basically all the same shit I just feel better about myself getting away from the indy image in my opinion

I thought it was a joke.
Dreamy awake.... I wish I had a ti 5.6. I had no idea they made that. I'd be stroked for a 5.6 hollow hanger.

My last hollow truck was a g&s like v3? Had less plastic

The vlights/titaniums/hollows have forged baseplates which means that they are lower and stretch the wheelbase out a bit more so than standard ventures with cast plates. You may like this more or less depending on your personal preferences. Besides that, the titaniums are significantly lighter than even the v-lights. Just set up some vlights (forged plate, hollow kingpin, solid axle) after retiring my titaniums, haven't skated them properly yet but just carrying the board and popping, the additional heft (which isn't necessarily bad) is definitely noticeable.

Just had my first two sessions on a new set of 5.2 titanium hi's and really really liking them so far. Got them on a really short board (WB just below 14") and the pop is amazing, the board just sticks to my back foot. Compared to the Indys I had before I don't feel a difference when I'm grinding a crusty curb, but I definitely notice a bit sharper, more sudden turn... Nothing to bad, just noticable. Hoping that will get a bit more mellow and smoother as the stock bushing break in a bit more. What is your experience with that? Never messed with aftermarket bushings in any of my trucks so far...

P.S.: The only thing I really don't like is the golden baseplate.

Mind sharing the setup? I have a 7.75 x 31.3 x 14 traffic board that I've been wanting to setup again with Venture 5.2 V-Hollow after not finding success with Indy 139 Hollow and Thunder Hollow Lights.
Venture Truck Height:

5.0 & 5.2 LO
STANDARD - 1.88” - 47.75mm
FORGED - 1.85”- 46.99mm

5.0 ,5.2, 5.6, 5.8 & 6.1 HI
STANDARD - 2.09” - 53.09mm
FORGED - 2.04” - 51.82m

It's a Becky 8" deck (don't know overall length) with a 13.9 WB. Running 54 F4 tablets (probably down to 53/52 now) since all parks are closed during the lockdown and I have to visit the crustier spots. Not more wheelbite as with my forged hollow Indys – they are the same height after all. So far I can totally recommend them.

hefty but good yield, was fine for me because I was just coming down from longer wheelbases too. might be a bit much if you're used to stuff much shorter though.

It took like 12 skate hrs to normalize was like a 1/2" wb change because I was riding Ace on the older board

I had issues with impossible and switch front big spins which is abnormal. That fixed its self.

 I'm back on a shorter WB again and things are really working out. I feel like throwing the bigger WB has strengthened my powers too.

The gains I've experienced at the ledge and with straight flip tricks is worth the large wb change.

The thing id be worried about was the fingers of flat. That's the most important thing about ventures I feel. So if you got a 14.5 WB I hope the board is 32 or better

Thanks! I always have used 14.25, I wasn't sure if it will make a huge difference or not. Im definitely not looking to have to put more effort into fliptricks, I just wanted to try something different.

Yes sir its 32.2, I am mainly concerned about 360 flips and impossibles becoming more effort.

I ride long WBs on Ventures. I’m tall-ish and until recently skated a lot of transition. It’s an OK setup for that but it’s dogshit for tech.

There doesn't appear to be an official Venture replacement bushing set available. What other brands would be close to what comes stock on Ventures?

I think the ace lows only work as the top bushing, for the bottom you might need ace normals

I’m using the hard Doh Dohs and they work perfect. The bottom bushing is a tad bit taller than the stock venture bottom bushing though, so it’s probably gonna throw the geometry a bit off, but it’s nothing I could notice.

I'm skating the 8.25 I got right now. 14.37 wb just under 32 length. Shape is pretty good, took me a few sessions to get used to how flat it was, especially because I was coming from a super steep DOA shape. At first it felt like the board was a month old lol.

Flat shape is feeling pretty good now, I definitely prefer flatter kicks over steep ones especially on Ventures for what I skate. I quite like the shape of the kicks too, not stupid square but still a nice full shape with a well defined zone to flick off of. If anything, perhaps a slightly steeper tail would be nice but not necessary.

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be that durable, seems to chip/dent/pressure crack a bit easier than generator boards... only been about 2 weeks and its still great for now, but the early symptoms aren't so promising. I definitely think generator wood is more reliable, whereas PS is a bit more hit or miss.
