Ive been wanting to try out ventures for a while and was wondering if anyone knows where I can find these trucks
The most recent venture catalog on their site lists a v-hollow light option available as 5.8hi again in polished. Maybe they are making them again?
Tate is one of the best posters that's not me

It was a bitch to find those specific 5.8 (for boards 8.25+) V-Hollow Lights though. I dont even know if they make them anymore. I bought mine on socalskateshop.com which was the only place I could even find them around a year ago and the link i have for it doesn't work anymore. You might have to dig around the web if you want those 5.8's with the hollow kingpin, baseplate AND axels, I think those p.rod trucks were the only ones they made in that size. the basic 5.8's should be a lot easier to find but Venture definitely is slacking on the bigger truck sizes. I guess they got they 7.5-8.0 board width on lock but they still need to step it up in that regard, I feel like they'd be a lot more popular if they made them more available. I actually prefer these over the new Thunder 149s. Light as hell but still have a beefier hanger and sits pretty high, especially compared to thunders.EDIT: Found those trucks in the 5.25 size in Hi & Lo (dont know what size you're looking for)http://www.westsideskateshop.com/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?preadd=action&key=ST-212255.8 v-lights on amazonhttp://www.amazon.com/Venture-V-Light-Polished-Skateboard-Trucks/dp/B00A6U6K7G/ref=sr_1_7?s=outdoor-recreation&ie=UTF8&qid=1432201291&sr=1-7&keywords=venture+5.8

I found it difficult to find 5.2 V-Hollow low's in any of my local shops. I ordered them online, and they still sent just the V-lights instead which I could find anywhere, so I ended up keeping them and had them refund the price difference back to my card. I eventually came across some in an L.A. skate shop and bought them.Anybody know if these are lighter than Thunders hollows?
Venture for life, bro. Just the regular 5.8 ones with a couple extra washers
From what I've seen, Ventures are only good if you like lows. Also seen Ventures cheap kingpin snap numerous times
Haven't heard any issues with durability since DLX took over. Skated my 8.125 setup with Venture 5.2 Hi today. Can't say enough good things about them
how are venture 5.8's compared to indy 149 i want my board loose but still stable like the board is moving just a tad lil bit but still easy to get centered i find indys too loose with bones med no washers.
Just looked at the size chart on their site and I'm pretty sure they aren't doing the 5.25's anymore. Only 5.2 and new 5.6. What axle width was 5.25?
Pretty sure I saw that they will be making a 6.1 truck (8.75 i guess), I saw John Dilo setting them up in his instastory's. Didnt take any screenshot tho...

Wonder why.[close]Because they get them for free. Hollows, Forged, Titaniums, all cost more and sponsors can't give them away to everyone given how big the teams are.I'm sure there are exceptions to the rule tho based on how currently popular you are/contest placements, etc.
