thats insane... I grew up skating the EastCoast these would be a game changer for sure.

I commuted with SPD for many years and it worked just fine for me. It’s also an ideal system for bike touring IMO.

i use krux allen because the sockets are deep and i like the pink and blue combination

didn’t realise that there was a 2nd edition of this bike. i have the original version. i swapped out the 3x9 for a 1x10 drive chain. so much better. and whilst i like the aesthetics of the drop bars i couldn’t get comfortable, so swapped them for butterfly/touring bars. now the four corners fits me like a glove, love the bike.

great new segment !

You gotta do this stream every 6 months or so, where you review your viewers setups, possibly how much they have changed since this one and so on.

About those “drones” the global gov is working together with these. I have seen this coming for 5 years. So what will happen in the midst of these wars, hollywood and ceo exposures the population will reach hysteria, then these drones will actually be manifested demonic entities that will claim to be a “creator” of sorts. They will claim to bring peace, by introducing technology to make life augmented and connected to one another. Dont take whatever these “drones” offer the globe because its the biblical mark of the beast. Jesus is the True Christ.

I like the video idea. It would've been nice if you were sharing your screen so we can see the setups too

Great stream! Had a good time talking board madness lol

8.25 Habitat + Thunder Lights with 1/8 Real wood riser pads + Bones Formula X99 Wide Cut 54mm + generic bearings + Creature Bonesaw rails. My first setup after an 11 year hiatus, digging it so far, got the Venture V8s, Bronson RAWs and a bunch of different Spitfire F4s in various cuts and durometers to try out next.

Kev is the man!

These are supposed to be worn with. Bothe pads if your a 12-13 highe shoe size

I like the bike progression videos. It crazy how much you have learned about the bike world is such a short time. Love that you have a passion for it. Time to bike across the country ‼️

the thing i like with clipless is i consistently get my preferred foot position every time. with flats theres a bit of hunting. all other things are the same with a flat pedal.

Is the weight the same as a standard venture polished? How tall are the trucks? I love the concept here as you can shop for virtually any board if it’s the width and shape.

That's an instant click thumbnail for anyone who 🛹 in Dec '24. Haven't seen a push for 🛹 trucks like this since Ace Classics came out & then again w/AF1. Won't get another set of Ventures ever!

Thanks for the tips, I’ll give it a try. Ive been struggling with popped backside big spins for the longest time and have been trying everything.

Lol

Looks great!

I run clipless on my commuter and even my commuter ebike. I have Crank Bros. Double-Shots with a flat side and a clipped side. I just feel like I get a more efficient pedal stroke when I'm clipped in. I have a pair of Adidas Velo Sambas and Giro Privateers, but if I just want to go in flats I can still ride my commuters. I am used to being clipped in however, being a roadie.

You do not get any extra power from clipless pedals. Its very obvious if you have a power meter. The benefit is that they keep your foot in place.

Always unclip both at the same time. Hehe

is clip pedal not clipless wtf bro... im not england and i know

Interesting that you said that about the deck being a little stiffer. I noticed the same thing when I skated a Chocolate board. It might be because decks made in China are supposedly made the old way (heat pressed) as opposed to boards made in US/Canada/Mexico which are mostly cold pressed. I also skated a made in China Mini Logo and it felt very similar to the Chocolate. Nice pop on both and as you said felt like they would last. Only downside is they definitely look thicker and feel heavier.

For those afraid of not being able to unclip fast-just go for the SM-SH56 SPD Multi-Release Cleat-a total game changer

Spd pedals are good for your knees,for long distance,but in the traffic and among people they are dangerous,you gotta be fast as snake,or Bruce Lee!

Bike looks sweet

You need one of those hovding single-use airbag helmets 😭😭😭 was one of the stupidest things I’ve ever seen, but their ads/clips were pure gold.

Shimano makes good stuff

Woot!

Are those ventures?

Cool song and clean skating

Wow imaging getting flattened by a trashcan😅

Dad board falling for the tactics link thing is hilarious lol he also said “dragon cult checking in” on one of Ben’s videos when they first came out then 2 months later was saying how they suck and he will never buy them again

Nice clip though!

8.18, 14wb Girl 147 thunders 52mm bones x99 Jessup Bronson Raw… setup suites my 5’8” Mexican person, skate ledges n flatground mostly

Sorry for your loss Kevin.

Sorry about your loss

For me, it would be a 8.5 fa board, ace 55 trucks and hardware, mob grip tape, Bronson raw bearings and spit fire conical full 56 mm 😊

..like everyone else - real sorry for your loss. losing a pet/friend.. it's brutal. ok.. as far as set ups go. could not be happier right now. still on my tired 8.25 board (love that thing). ..mostly doing the mellow transition at my local skatepark. and some concrete flat ground there too. running thunder standard trucks (am into them, work great for me anyway) with some krooked risers to bring the height up a little bit. and spitfire f4 54 conical fulls 99a (doing great on those). and some thunder bolts, and jessup grip. oh and some bronson g3s. wouldn't change anything. maybe some of those radial 93s in future (think they'd be good for d.i.ys), and wouldn't mind giving mob a try in the future too. but that's about it really.

Not a venture dude but I really like the kingpin housing into the truck

33 y/o here. been skating for 21 years now and basically have ridden the same set up since i was 18. my current set up is my perfect set up. 8.0 Chocolate Venture V8s. i set them to have my WB be 14" Spitfire 99s 50mm bronsons G3s Bronze 7/8 allen key pepper grip bones hard bushings My skating is a bit of everything. i like to flip my board alot and jump down little stuff. i also really like rails.

Is that a twin tail setup

Rest In Peace, Winston❤️. I ride a 8.5x 31.68 with a 14” wheelbase from Santa Cruz. I’m 48 years young and like power sliding and kick flips. Keep on pedaling!

Look like if gerard way was hispanic

So sorry to hear about your cat. We lost our beloved dog at the end of October. The energy hasn’t been the same in our house and he was my best friends as well. A quote that has been helping me is “it’s better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all”. For your setup question, still trying to dial it in. Just went back to a smaller board that’s: 8.5 grimple stix 14.25 wheelbase 54 bones formula x97 Indy 149 Bone swiss

sorry about your cat. cats are the best! I ride a 8.25 as well april now. anything with 14 wb ... 147 thunders, I cant do the 8.25 trucks. super loose 52 spitfire any wheels is fine mob grip bones reds diamond bolts I mainly do flat ground, ledge, small stairs , etc. haha
