I mean I asked him and his Uprise truck came in that size. So maybe he doesn't have a clue

Pretty cool and crazy at the same time that Ducky is Ventures new team manager or hold a similar title doing something for Venture now other than riding for them. He was at Tampa Am present as their TM. Random news...just thought id share

I’m pretty sure Nick matthews skates 5.2 lows not sure if they are hollow or not. You can tell in footy

Certainly looked like 5.2 lo’s to me
Hard to tell tho

I watched a few parts and slow mo'd yesterday and at least in recent footage you can clearly tell they are highs from the height of the wings near the yoke of the truck. The VX footage all has a pretty big fisheye to it which makes it sorta difficult to spot

just ordered thunder replacement bushings for my 6.1 hollows
the red 97a were calling me after a great time with supercush 97s

never really gave the venture/conical bottom combo a fair chance
tried bones softs and indy reds just to find i like hard bushings
these should be great. anyone else try something similar?

Nice

I’ve been overly into what the pros ride, forever, and trying to figure it out from video/photo can be inaccurate.
I’ll do my best to not purchase 5.6s with this info.

Go back and watch his uprise part there are maybe 1 or two clips that maybe high… the rest are lows

And it's not like he doesn't know how wide 5.6 is or something that is conceivable, low vs high is pretty huge especially for trucks. If you just look at his recent footage you'll see the high Uprise trucks or high standards so even if he was on lows it clearly meant fuck all.

I wasn't the one to say either things. You said "you think" but didn't say "I asked me he said". Maybe saying that and saying the date would have made it less confusing. The way I read the series of posts is that I had asked and you just had a guess,m.

Regardless it seems to not really have hurt him to go from low to high.

Yeah but you were dead set on trying to shut me down on what I was saying. Regardless you have no proof of what you’re saying so I guess it doesn’t matter.

I'm honestly wondering which spot DM screenshots should hold in the hierarchy of evidence. I'd say just below metaanalyses.

Anyway, Ventures. I was visiting family the other day and found my ooooold set of 5.0 lows. Those must be from '03/'04. I didn't take them with me, so I can't just fuck around and find out, but I was wondering if I could maybe combine these baseplates with my new 5.8 V-Hollows. Perhaps someone who runs cast baseplates with their Hollows can elaborate which baseplates are a good fit?

im running 5.2 low cast plates on my 5.6 hollow hanger and its fine so you should be all good swapping them over, only difference is your old trucks will be from the old foundry they used so i am not 100% sure on the compatibility with the new foundry trucks.

don't forget that ventures weren't the strongest around that time either, I went through a lot of kingpins and baseplates in the early to mid 2000's on ventures.

only one way to find out tho, good luck with the adventure.

I guess when you’ve been shown proof and have nothing else valid or provable to say that’s all you can come up with.

I feel like the darker the bushings color the better. (So long as it's semi clear.)

In the heat I believe the darker bushings i's more likely to be softer?
Could be tripping

Purple green or red tho.

Even if the bushings were worse I'd still go for green first of all.

I like everything on my board to be green or purple.

Orange wheels if possible tho.

Thanks! That's all I need to give it a go. I'll report back once I got the chance to retrieve them.

Nick Matthews makes me want to skate ventures.

Can't do it.

But he does make me want to.
[close]

I wonder what his setups is…8? 5.2 HI’s? He definitely makes me want to skate his stuff.

Glad to see people trying the lo’s, love mine.

5.6 hi on DLX 8.06/8.25 with 14.38 wb. Actually responded to me. I think Spitfire 51-53s?

Was on Quasi before and it is easy to see the graphics he rode.

I asked a while back because I was curious. I have proof of what I am saying. Where is anybody else’s that is saying I can’t read or I’m delusional?


So just a couple of things - I don't mean to draw this out any further, but I was thinking and not sure if any of you guys had made this connection at all.


Yes the man was on 5.2 sized trucks a while back, as per the clearly shown message, date stamped and everything.

At some point he may have stepped up to wider trucks and could still be on wider trucks now, but Venture only make the low trucks up to 5.2 size, so there are no 5.6 low trucks, in which case he would have to ride the normal height in this width.

In a normal over the counter conversation, this might be pretty chilled, but online, it is often not quite the case, so I think at least everyone need not stir anything up any further.


Re Venture don't make wider low trucks, @rocklobster and others have wondered this before on here.

I have also had this conversation with someone in store once who refused to believe that they didn't make wider low trucks and wanted us to order some in for him, but that is just not the case, but it doesn't stop anyone from asking DLX about wanting to have a wider low version of their trucks.

After all, they are good with feedback and will often take things on board in that regard.

I talk too much about skateboards.  Sorry.

Is there really a difference between low and high ventures ?

I was skating lows for a long time ago, in my early years of skating, and switched to high, not really noticing the difference at the time.

But now I skate a lot of flatground, almost only that, and I've been skating high for 10 years (15 years of skateboarding),

Would lows for the flat really change anything ?  ;D

.

You might not notice until you have two sets side by side, the low being a few mm lower with minimal kingpin clearance, the normal or high being significantly taller with generous kingpin clearance.

There were definitely a lot of low 5.0 and some low 5.2 getting around, that I have quite a few old sets of, as well as a number of the normal height 5.0, 5.25 and now 5.6 and 5.8, as well as one set of 6.1 Venture trucks.

As to the ride difference, yes the low has a way quicker pop compared to the high and quite a few other differences, with a few sets on 7.75 and 8" boards, mainly just set up for kids to ride.

If you have low trucks and want to feel how the high skate without getting any, just put a 1/8" riser on.  It won't be quite the same I know, but that is about the height difference looking at a couple of sets here.

I talk too much about skateboards.  Sorry.

On paper yes:
From the horse's mouth:
Venture heights

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” - 51.82mm

I always thought I preferred the LOs since my flatgound game is ass and LOs pinch the best of any truck. But I've been skating the HI Standard (cast baseplate) for 2-3 boards and I've just gotten used to it. The cast baseplate doesn't shift the wheelbase out as dramatically as forged baseplate (3.25" vs 3.5"), making it easier to pair with common deck dimensions.
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

But.. I was thinking, does taking hollows really change the way you skate ? Is it somehow .. easier because lighter ?

I've always skated the high standard ventures, I wonder if it's worth paying more..
