Mon May 10 2010I've been skating those for 3 years now and they're still perfect . I snapped a kingpin once but it was not a big problem . They never get loose and they turn very precisely .

Sun Jul 05 2009venture is the worst truck brand. there hella heavy and the kingpin snapped on me the first ride. then i gave them a second shot and the kingpin kept falling out. thunder is highly reccomended. the new hollow kingpin that is light and durable. royals are good too.

Mon May 04 2009Venture Trucks are pretty good, they last an average amount of time and grind pretty well. The kingpin is not the lowest but it doesn't matter all that much. One bad thing is that the bolt on the kingpin creeps looser and looser until it falls off, this has caused me a couple of bad falls which irritated me a lot! Overall though, they are good trucks and they are cheap usually. Plus, i got mine for free which makes it even better! I got them off Prizerebel, its a brilliant website, I've also had some Bones Reds off there and some shoe laces and more. You just fill in surveys and get points, then get prizes such as Ventures! Go to the link I'm going to give you if you want to sign up, you could get free prizes such as Ventures, just like I did!! (I am not lying to you, I've actually had a lot of free skate stuff off this site and I'm sharing it with you guys so i hope you take me seriously) http://www.prizerebel.com/index.php?r=525039

Sun Nov 23 2008venture trucks were the very first trucks I skated on, and they lasted a couple of years. the only thing I didn't like about them was they wore down too fast from grinding, and that's it. other than that, they are a good basic truck to start skating with.

Tue Oct 21 2008some people think they are great, but they really aren't all that special. yeah they're light and stuff, but the metal is a bit soft, and they wear down pretty fast. i never really liked them, but they're ok.

Sun Aug 17 2008yo i've been skating the same ventures for about two years before the kingpin snapped and dude they were awesome. once you find a comfortable tightness you like never have to tighten them again. they grind frikin smooth and last frikin long. mine have been set on fire, drowned, bashed with a hammer and of course grinded lots and still lasted two years and kept great quality and never got crappy. AwSoMe.

Fri Jul 25 2008My Ventures are great they have lasted for aaages . They come in basically any color so you'll find a pair to suit your needs. They grind fantastically and turn so precisely. I would recommend these to a friend

Mon May 12 2008ok but grind through quickly

Tue Mar 18 2008The Ventures I have are of a low profile which makes it great for street skating. Venture has a sleek design but for some reason they feel heavier than many other brands of trucks. They thus fall somewhere in the middle of the pack of professional level skateboard trucks.

Thu Oct 25 2007Ventures have always appealed to me ever since I began skating (old school Danny Montoya) but after my first pair of them, I wouldn't buy them again. Yes, while they look cool and different from most others/and they've been around for a long time too, they just don't hold up. The one thing I liked about them, was that they were heat-treated like my old Independents (which makes them heavier -more density- but makes for a smooth ass grind) and had their baseplate cut up for a little added weight loss. Well, while they do grind great new, if youre like me, or most the skating population, you ride "medium" and torque the kingpin nut to the "average" setting, showing several kingpin threads atop. For me, the purple stock bushings were just too soft and created far too many hagups on smiths. While the bushings can easily be replaced with Doh-Doh's or something, the axles tendency to slip prematurely via primo thrashing/landings ended my ties with Venture quickly. BOTTOM LINE: they aren't de... Read more

Fri Jul 20 2007venture are awesome super light last long, and for you who say they suck they dont its just because they are made to be tight not loose thats why wen people ride them the king pin falls out. anyways ventures are pwnage!!!!!!

Fri Mar 23 2007Ventures are ok I had mine for about a week or two and the bolt for the kingspin kept on coming loose. And another bad thing is that the kingspin is to high. i can't even 50-50 with them. But with new Kingspins, bushings, and mabey a few modifacations they can be pretty good trucks.

Tue Feb 20 2007i had venture trucks and they weighed my boards down so much, they always seemed bulky ,my royals are lighter nd they arent light either, i think that silver trucks are the best

Sat Aug 27 2005Thses trucks are great. I just got venture superlights today and there not nearly as heavy as my old destructos. Nothing against destructos but their just way to heavy. i would definatley recommend these trucks.
