Skatedeluxe says the Hi V-Hollows are 53.5mm high, is this correct?

Still super sus that the difference between standard and forged would be different for lo and hi. It's the same baseplate...
Don't fully trust these numbers, but I'm sure they're somewhere close enough?

I've thought the same thing every time I see the sig

[rikki]

Maybe their Insta guy just threw the numbers out of his arse just for fun and pisstaking.

[notinternetfamous]

isn't the general consensus on forged plates is that it usually drops the height about ~1.5 mm?

just do that for any truck brand and you'll have a general idea of what height the trucks will be. we're talking about a 3% decrease in height. the numbers being off slightly between Lo and Hi is odd, but who else DM'd them like a man.

keep in mind that the forged plates shift the wb longer compared to cast plates

Other than Brandon Westgate and Aleka Lang, which street skaters ride Venture lows these days?

I assume that a bunch of the Magenta and Maybe Evisen/Lenz skaters ride them.

Don’t know why I need to know, just bored and curious

[close]

PJ Ladd
Felipe Gustavo
Gino
Puleo

[close]

Don't Gino ride Thunders now. I'm pretty sure he and Guy both got trucks.

[close]

Felipe Gustavo rides Hi now, because of kingpin drag

edit: that's P rod, but Felipe Gustavo also rides hi

PJ rides lows with risers.

cool, he used to skate low without risers, seems he's been skate in riser recent days.
and he skates 7.9 board

5 years ago no risers / 3yrs ago risers / 3yrs ago no risers / 1yr ago~recent no risers


2020 rides both


maybe that's his street setup? i'm comfused.

[LebowskisRug]

I just go on his IG and you can see them in most videos going back a few years, but I don't inspect every single post. I was curious so I did screen record and analyze a few videos and they all had em. Maybe they're forged with risers? I dunno, but it is interesting. It gets a low truck below V-light height without pushing the wheels out.

[Ok]

i am very interested and thankful for these geeky who rides what posts.

gustavo and westgate in hi’s? that’s wild to me.

where is this gino on thunders? he definitely had a few photos on thunders way back when, and some ads, but i don’t remember seeing him on anything but ventures, save for one clip with some indy’s and air forces, way back before 2000.
looked like  maybe Gino was on forged hi’s for a moment….

my lo’s are problematic. turn is fine, pop is great (the best really), it’s just needed to skate 50s that gets tiresome.
or, more accurately: i love skating lo’s and 50s, but the ground where i live, is rough.

Get out the calipers and see what the baseplates are...

Forged baseplates on this new set are little under 4 mm tall.

Cast baseplates on this new set are a bit over 5 mm tall.


That is with non digital calipers though, so make of that what you will, but the almost 1.5 mm difference is about right.


Also it is very interesting that they give the measurements of the truck heights in such a way, in inches which then doesn't convert cleanly to mm, but that is not a worry to me.

Taller than Thunder, lower than Indy, almost the same as Ace in overall height.

[LebowskisRug]

With my calipers my forged Venture baseplates are 4.28mm and cast are  5.66MM. I measured all 4 corners and in the middle of the sides and averaged since the thickness differs slightly on cast.

[Mbrimson88]

With my calipers my forged Venture baseplates are 3.66MM and cast are 5.09. I measured all 4 corners and in the middle of the sides and averaged since the thickness differs slightly on cast.

My hand to eye classic cheapies don't have that sort of exact measurement, but it is good to see that they line up fairly well.

I also checked Indy and Thunder, Indy looking like they were a mm taller in both, which was interesting.  I know Ace has thinner baseplates overall too.

Guessing you might have measurements for some of those others you have skated as well - the Indy or Thunder anyway?

[LebowskisRug]

I did not zero them correctly. I re-measured.

Now these are plates from a parts bin the forged plates were from some old Titanium Lights and the cast plate I have is from a standard a few years ago.

The correct measurements are:

Forged: 4.28
Cast: 5.66

Now, this is just plate thickness, so we are assuming every other part of the plate is the same.

Does anyone have any extra purple-clear Venture bushings that they'd be willing to send my way?  Or trade for something?  PM me and we can dish.

It’s nit picky…but I wish they made T’s of some of the collabs….like one a season?  Man….one a year even…

[mdspb]

There is a tee of that Skate Jawn collab…

[YungJugg]

would citri strip or acetone work to make that black a polished silver baseplate?

Only if it’s painted. If it’s powder coated (which seems to be the standard these days), you’ll need to sand it, blast it, or bake it off.

I would really like to see PJ ride a set of 6.1s with some cut bushings and some big ass 60mm wheels.

I'm curious AF to see what happens. I bet it would have little effect other than a slight style and go to trick shift.

I wanna see PJ do a super slow flipping big flipper and roll away a G but squirrelly.

I don't wanna see it. I need to see it. So I can live through him I guess.

PJ is my official adopted son starting now

[j....soy.....]

I think it's more likely to see PJ wear a yarmulke....

[manuduncan]

What bushings do you guys run in the ventures once the stock ones get blown out or cracked?

I ordered the loose conversion ones and they were way too turny I couldn’t control them so I kept the bottom bushing but put an Indy top bushing in and it was a lot better

maybe you could get eli to do this


i’m not sure there are advantages to going past 8” wide trucks.
now i do wish i could actually skate around, freely with the big wheels, so then i guess you would need to go wider for proportions….
 oh i dunno
