I feel you, dirty wax hands suck, especially grimy ass spots; I keep a big thing of hand sanitizer and some rags in my car just for this.

Sometimes I swear I'm the only out there waxing.

The funny thing about the venture pop is I’ll whiff and still get more height than popping on another truck….it’s something I got used to and grew to really like.  The trucks are stable so you can put your foot in the pocket and just think of the pop.  With trucks like Aces, I’m always moving around and the turning is always present, I don’t have the power, confidence or skill to skate those trucks well…

My tensor knowledge is not great and I know there has been some redesigns but the mags I tried turned horribly compared to venture hi’s…..which don’t turn great but you loosen them up, they do the job….even on transition I liked them, because you can put all your weight on side. 

Wheelbase wise, it bugs me but doesn’t affect me much, if I had my way, every board made by BBS would have 1/8-1/4 inch off all the wheelbases and I’d be chill.   And change the alloy or process with ventures making them grind the same as Indy/thunder…..I don’t even need an IKP…

was just thinking instead of buying lows, just slapped on some old worn down 48mm wheels and we get the same experience :) feels perfect! They dont even really feel that small. i guess lately i have been skating really good ground.

I know there are exceptions ie. Real, but most 8.25 BBS wheel bases run closer to 14.5, ideally I’d like 14” with ventures.  I’d even accept 14.125…. Like an 8” board seems so obviously 14” wheelbase….end of story… my next 4 boards are all 8.125 BBS: Polar, shop decks, Alltimers.  They are all 14.25 and up.

My new strategy is to just ride a smaller board ie. I’ll likely step down to an 8…..I understand though the current tren d is bigger boards, bigger wheelbases….

No, that is factually wrong. The BBS generic shapes most brands use are 14.25 on the dot. DLX decks are 14.38. I have never seen an 8.25x14.5 from a brand other than Palace

Magenta and Frog 8's are 14" wb and on BBS wood. Primitive 8.125 as well (although some Primitive boards have been manufactured in China so best to buy decks in person)
Ventures on 14.25" wb isn't that bad, but I do agree with you that if I could have it my way all the time, 14" wb with Ventures works best for my height and style of skating that I do. I would love to ride Krooked graphics with Ventures but all the 8's usually are 14.38" wb  :'(

No, that is factually wrong. The BBS generic shapes most brands use are 14.25 on the dot. DLX decks are 14.38. I have never seen an 8.25x14.5 from a brand other than Palace

I stand corrected, they are 14.25.

Carry on….

I picked up the 8.5 curb commandments deck with that wheelbase...
I've not yet set up. I'm waiting for some stage 4's to come in.
I've been doing nonstop carpet kickflips on it. Shape looks and feels amazing.
 Kicks are steep.

There were orginally FULL shapes going back to maybe 2017 or so, which were way longer wheelbases as well, eg 8.25 x 32.2 with 14.5 wb.

Then they brought out the Full SE shapes in about 2018-2019 which were still wider end to end but with a shorter wheelbase and overall length, as the trend was going more towards shorter boards.

With 2020 and pandemic shortages, everything seemed to stop for a while, but they have brought out a lot more, as well as the Tru Fit (shorter boards) more recently.

There are still both around, but way more of the Full SE than the original FULL shape coming out in the last year or more.


The FULL boards were crazy on Ventures, but the Full SE work really well, as do the shorter wheelbase boards.


The link is here to the board shapes:

Yep, I think someone asked DLX or whoever and that one was confirmed as a FULL shape.

Both are 8.25, but 5.6 Ventures > 144 Indys.

I wonder if it is quality material. Grinders under $20 are usually cheaply made and end up smelling like coins.

That time of the year again:
Gonna be sizing up to 8.5. Gonna go with cast Venture His, since I love bigger wheels (55+).
Heard a lot of talk about 6.1s being different than 5.8s – in addition to being a wider truck of course... any recommendations from 6.1/5.8 users?
[close]

Get slightly harder bushings (like 95a instead of what’s usually assumed to be 90a stock) then they feel like normal V’s - all good.

Think the wider hanger just gives too much press on the regular duro - if you like a happy medium tightness I couldn’t get it with stock, was flopping all over.

I went up another couple of notches, now fitted 98a Doh Dohs and they’re finally on point. Feel just like my regular size V’s turn - but wider.

I’d actually say the stocks are borderline unskateable unless you’re into flip-flop loose.

once the 95a broke in they weren’t as adjustable

For 6.1’s I see it this way…

90 stock - no control, utterly loose
95-ish - some control, surfy/whippy cut-back turn
98-ish - classic lovely medium V turn, stable with control, some resistance and rebound
100 and up - might need these for speed runs and vert, stiff, press to turn, no wheel bite ever.

I’m riding a 9.5 with offset wheels (stick out well past axle end) btw… this may be part why I’ve found the 6.1s over turny on my particular setup.

Anyone run bones hard in hi’s loose?  That’s my strategy….5.2’s on an 8.125….

Flippable…yes…poppable….yes….carveable….sure….

Loose trucks that don’t turn, hard bushings but conical, with some overhang/leverage and I weigh nothing….

This seems like it’ll work…
