nice cups, you won't regret those
i grabbed a pair of riptides for venture and ended up throwing them in my ace's too.. seemed to fit fine. i need some indy 94 bushings .. maybe even 92 would work. cowtown just sold out of em

Still get that nice surfy turn but enough resistance to avoid wheelbite and keep you stable when you're setting your feet up. I just got my first set of 94 and they're ok but I prefer the 92. Btw venture stock bushings are 94a so you could always use those if you have a pair. Destructo are probably around that duro too, maybe a little stiffer. I would avoid doh-doh 95a though... they're decent enough but tend to get chewed up and lose their resilience after a little while. Oh and if anyone has film hards... they freeze up bad in the cold. Like rock hard, no turning at all after 5 minutes in freezing temps. Never had a bushing that did it as bad as those do.

Impish sausage is definitely gonna blow up as a euphemism this year
not sure what bushings I have in the standard ones but they felt a bit off on my last skate, like they weren’t returning back to center... wondering if I should lube the pivot cups, any film advice would be appreciated!

When I say a bit, it might have been an hour or so.The old heel toe heel toe heel toe leaning side to side, then turn it around and do the same on the other side sometimes helps.

After picking up some curry goat, I called my local on a whim and they had one more set of these in 147. Glad I got em, and from there too.
My recent pick up from Tri Star Skateshop in Cleveland, OH!Solid shop and they have a cool board box, also!Two 8.5s and Mob:- Anti Hero Pfanner - digging the solid pale white/yellow graphic- Black Label Troy - this one has a nice medium full shape to it. Not pointy and not super full either. Stoked on this one for sure! Thanks everyone that chimed in with feedback on Label, I have a feeling it will be good once set up

Darkpools...dope Label deck! You described the shape perfectly...not too full and most def not pointy. Solid deck for sure. Been skating mine for two months now and still full of pop.
I bought Bones Swiss a couple months ago. I will be completely honest and say that they are no better than any other functioning set of bearings I've ever skated. It really seems like my Shake Junt bearings are better. They spin for longer, for sure.
