Fan Faves: Venture Trucks

Venture trucks are among the most popular on the market today in NZ. Back in the 80's Venture's, were to be created as a low-cost truck alternative to established brands.

Venture is a heavyweight in the skateboarding truck arena, pulling punches in the grind and flip-heavy side of things. With a history of prestige and accumulation of build improvements, Venture is able to offer a uniquely premium product that continues to get better with time!

Join us as we dive into why Venture Trucks are a staple amongst our NZ Skaters.

STABILITY

Venture Trucks are about the most stable trucks you can get which is very noticeable when you skate. The reason why they are that stable lie in the fact that these trucks are made in a way that gives your setup a longer wheelbase that’s ideal for a better balance. Transition skater or tech skaters alike can seriously appreciate this brand as the lows are great for street skating and the highs perform really well in bowl, pool, mini ramp, and vert.

Most quality trucks now offer bushings that break in much faster than it used to, but these bushings only take about 30 minutes to get used to. Venture Trucks are very loose trucks and provide great pop. With great lock-in on transitions, Venture's are great for flip tricks, but include that stability for manual tricks. 

V-Shape Hanger

Venture Trucks stand out from the crowd with the iconic V-shaped hanger. 

This angular design secures grinds in easily, while allowing precise movement on the kingpin. The dropped kingpin allows for extra clearance so you don’t get stuck when you grind an obstacle.

Sizing

Compared to the traditional competitors, Venture offers a limited size range, however a majority of their pairs suit up to a 8.5" deck.
