Venture Trucks 5.2 High V8 Eric Koston Polished Silver (Sold As Pair)

Venture Trucks 5.2 High V8 Eric Koston Polished Silver (Sold As Pair) blend classic Venture turning with modern adjustability and a timeless pro signature. The polished silver hanger keeps things clean and understated, finished with Eric Koston’s winged “K” logo in teal and red centered on the side—simple, iconic, and instantly recognizable. The raw aluminum baseplate has “VENTURE” cast directly into it, paired with dark steel axles and hardware that ground the look and keep it functional rather than flashy. Every detail feels built for real skating, meant to earn wear rather than avoid it.

What sets this truck apart is Venture’s V8 baseplate, which features an 8-hole mounting pattern that allows skaters to fine-tune their board’s wheelbase. This adjustability lets you subtly change how your board responds—shortening the wheelbase for quicker snap and tighter turning, or lengthening it for added stability at speed. It’s a practical upgrade that lets you dial in your setup without changing decks, especially useful if you skate a mix of ledges, flatground, and transition across different spots.

The 5.2 size uses an 8.0" axle, making it ideal for decks roughly 7.9"–8.1", a go-to width for technical street skating and all-around park riding. The High geometry provides extra wheel clearance, helping reduce wheelbite and giving you room to run slightly bigger wheels if you want more roll speed through parks or rougher street terrain. Venture’s turning is known for being stable and predictable—never twitchy—making these trucks feel consistent whether you’re locking into ledges, skating manuals, or carving concrete.

Venture Trucks have been a pillar of skateboarding since the early 1980s, respected for durability, clean design, and a turn that rewards control and style. Eric Koston’s history is inseparable from modern street skating—rising from the early ’90s to redefine technical skating through legendary video parts with H-Street, Girl, and Chocolate. His switch skating, precision, and effortless approach influenced generations and reshaped how street skating is done. This signature Venture reflects that legacy: functional, refined, and built to skate everything.
