Thanks for the responses, folks.

Anyone able to ID what size Ventures Gino is skating in this pic? That board came in 8.38" and 8" if that helps.

Incredibly relevant to my interests!
I’m not sure where I got this ‘info’, but I thought Gino always skated a 7.9 ish board, 5.2 lo’s, 52 mm ish wheels. I’m really not sure if that’s correct tho.
When Guy posted that, imo, phenomenal ig post, several years back, of Gino skating in super sunny California, it looked like he was skating a slightly wider than 8” fa shaped board, huge nose.
The clips for that Poets Bruin (the one some jerk very funnily called ‘Gino’s my war’), it looked like he was skating 5.2 (could have been larger, I have the hardest time judging scale of trucks) HI’s, with a forged plate.

It's been noted elsewhere that he rides 5.0s.
[close]

IDK, even if that is an 8" those look too wide to be 5.0s

Never seen him on 5.0s
If you go back to the greatest 411 segment of all times, ‘Roomies’, Gino’s board looks wider, as does his trucks. I’m pretty sure he’s also skating af1 mids. Fuck. 🥵. So good.
The angles that skate footage/photos are captured by, really makes it hard to tell how big setups are, imo. I’m guessing Gino is 5’10 ish, probably a 10 ish shoe, so imma guess that he’s on about an 8”, 8” trucks.
I don’t know what I’m talking about.
The yung goat yuto looks like he skated 5.2 lo’s as well.
Shit post sorry ya’ll

Just set up a new set of TI’s. Going to give them a spin. Last set I ran on cast plates this time around I’m going to keep the forged on for a while to see how I feel about them

I frown on forged plates but didn't mind this set up....my 5.6's are a little lower which I liked.  Gonna switch to cast and a krux down lo I think at some point.....when I figure things out.

I can't skate ice cold ventures. I feel like I'm going to die. I was trying to dork around get a little clip in downtown Salem and I ate shit twice in a row doing nothing.
When they freeze they just shimmy. Ace never stop turning in the winter. It's the only truck that works for me rn.
[close]
stock bushings? indy supersofts work well for me in the winter

Yeah I got the white Indys in now but it only buys me like 45 mins extra time before I'm tensor tight. I could put a bones up top but I'm trying really hard not to be buying extra plastic crap.

Plz stop killing each other

I hate one of my locals so the $15 151's are more appropriate for me I think.

@ok @Seventyfuhkinseven thank you. Fun fact: Gino is a size 11 and Guy is an 11.5. Big feet club. Have carried those facts with me since back in the day.

Going to go buy some 5.2 hollows, BRB.

I've only been skating for 2 years but after getting some 5.6s I actually feel like I've been progressing lately. Being off the board for 5-6 months due to ankle injuries hasn't helped and had to relearn some basics, but I feel a lot more consistent now on Ventures. I might be a lifer.
The turn is pretty funky but I can deal with it. I kinda like that it's forcing me to get used to carrying more speed to slash curbs.

So I’m kinda leaning into buying a better pair of ventures for Christmas, my current pair gotten to the axel and they have started to flake metal shards, I know I definitely want the hollows but what’s the difference between a titanium hanger and a regular forged one? I skate mostly ledges and stuff so I don’t want to affect how my trucks grind but some excess weight cut could be good, is titanium gonna affect anything?
You want some queso?”

It's just the axle, not the hangar (forged plate + ti axle for the titanium or forged plate + hollow steel for the hollows). You shouldn't feel a difference in the grind.

No impact to the grind, more on the wheelbase and height with the cast (+3.25") and forged (+3.5", -1.5mm). If you can afford it go for the titanium, but the V-Hollows are a solid choice. Venture Titanium isn't as stupidly light as Tensor Maglight / Thunder Titanium, worth the $20 additional if you want to treat yourself.

5.0 & 5.2 LO

FORGED - 1.85”- 46.99mm

Are the venture team lows 1mm higher than the regular venture lows? How about WB? IIRC, thunder team trucks bring in the WB ever so slightly compared to the regular raws.

Tactics used to be my go-to for truck measurement but I think their numbers are off:
https://www.tactics.com/venture/polished-skateboard-trucks/polished-52-lo

5.2 Std Lo - 48.3mm (according to Tactics), +3.25" WB so similar to a Thunder Light / Hollow (not Team Hollow)
5.2 V-Hollow Lo - 48.3mm (according to Ben Degros' video, but I think they are 1.5mm lower because forged), +3.4 - 3.5" WB so in a class of their own in terms of pushing out the wheels.

I'm not sure anymore, probably Tactics hasn't updated their listings. The Venture website isn't help with specs either.

Thanks! I was actually referring to the team editions, not hollows

https://www.tactics.com/venture/mike-anderson-ventura-pro-team-edition-skateboard-trucks/polished-52-lo

Only asking since it looks like Thunder team editions are 1mm taller than standard and based on the WB thread, the thunder team editions don't push out the WB as much as the standards do.

Team are not 1 mm higher than standard, team is standard, and is one mm higher than forged plates/lights.
