The Venture Eric Koston V8 is a technical, performance-oriented skateboard truck designed to solve common geometry issues for skaters who are particular about their setup. Its standout feature is a specialized 8-hole baseplate that allows for significant wheelbase customization.

Designed in collaboration with Eric Koston, the Venture V8 addresses “wheelbase madness” by offering a versatile mounting system. While standard trucks feature a four-hole pattern, the V8 utilizes an eight-hole cast baseplate. This design allows you to move each truck forward or backward by roughly 1/4 inch, enabling a total wheelbase reduction of up to 0.5 inches.

Beyond adjustability, the V8 features a reinforced baseplate with extra material at the pivot point for improved strength and smoother slides. It comes standard with a solid axle, a solid kingpin, and blue 90du bushings, maintaining the classic stable and responsive turn that Venture is known for while providing a “surfy” feel when dialed in.
