Venture posted the sizing of the Thrasher trucks.  They are the standard team editions in most sizes.  Stoked!

Definitely scoring a set. I really wish the red bushing in the highs. Especially if that top bushing is little shorter or softer.

I just bought new Indy’s, but I want these thrasher ventures! one with a silver baseplate, and one with yellow.
This has me cracking up, what exactly does Black Flag have to do with measuring your dick starting behind ya nuts?

Skateboarding is nothing but a game to find the right fits to appear like you're a proportional human being instead of a midget or a giant.

Anyone have any good recommendations for bushings that are SLIGHTLY harder than stock that actually fit in Ventures?  I’ve been riding stock bushings forever but after recently trying Ace low bushings in them, I liked it a little stiffer.  The mean of the Ace bushings is actually softer than stock 88.5a vs stock 90a), but they were stiff because the Ace bushings are too tall.  Also they splurge out and act strange with various washer combinations besides the washers they came with.

So dope! I swapped out my green bushings from my worrest and put them in my 5.8 kaders from the stock whites & paired with green and yellow shake junt hardware. Shit looks clean with the Rasta colored sword on the hanger!

I weigh 170 and I've been riding bones medium because the purp got too soft for me. They work really good with venture.

Bones always feel good for a few weeks then they start feeling looser and looser and you always have to tighten them up like once every few weeks to keep them feeling how they originally felt when you put them in.

True, bones begin their dying process as soon as you set them up.  I settled with and Indy Soft Conical Bottom (88A) with a stock top.  In the vain of the slightly softer bottom and harder top that Ace has.  Since the Indy bushing is a little taller than stock, it gives some stability and also has a slightly quicker turn similar to Thunder.  Coming from skating Thunder for years, it feels a little closer to that.

Skated some 5.8s the last few days. Like them, probably a bit too beast for me, but fun.

Anyone have a recommendation on deck brands/shapes for these trucks? I have a FA sage board from a bit back, it’s got a 14.12 wb, and is under 32”, both of those numbers have worked well for in the past. Steep nose and I could not skate this thing. Felt wild.
Next day switched everything out and set it up an 8.125 with 14” wb and same trucks and the pop was great. Board is more mellow, and really old.
Anyways, if anyone has a recommendation for big ventures, board wise, lemme know.
Thanks

i'm skating my 5.8ti's on a Quasi 8.5, 32.125 long & 14.25WB. also on 52mm conical fulls for what its worth, and i love everything about the feel of the setup.  it did take me a little getting used to, but i'm talking like 1 session.  after realizing where i needed to make certain adjustments, this is definitely my preferred ride for the moment

Quasi ps?
Those your measurements?
Do you measure point to point or tape pressed?
Despite being susceptible to ‘cool’ things, I’ve somehow not skated nearly enough quasi boards.

I am stoked on the 5.8s, need to muscle up a bit.

Thanks for your response and advice.

Quasi is PS yeah
those are the measurements i found on a few sites, but i measured myself(point to point) and it was pretty spot on.  def over 32, i wasnt trying to squint and get up close and personal with the tape measure tho haha.  i had this shape before and liked it, but was skating 149's with it.  the ventures feel better to me now.

another thing- i did add riptide pivot cups and replaced the top washers with flat bones ones

Maybe too big for you? I ride 5,6 on 8.125 and fucking love them, got those spitfire F4 tablets too. Before I had the lock-ins. They are wider and a bit heavier. But don't let me tell you, you skate to big. Because I see people skate super wide and I'm like how the hell. I would definitely go up to 8.25 but I want 14 wheelbase, that's the most important thing for me, and it's hard to find 14 WB on 8.25.
Skateboarding an addiction stronger than Heroin.

I think you are correct, re: too big. I want to ride an adult sized skateboard, but it’s a serious struggle.
I should have gotten 8.25” trucks, and used those on boards 8-8.5”.
Next time.
