Jeff Toland #2.



Venture Force.

I always have to have at least one vintage Venture ad for the month since they're my truck of choice for the last twenty years. This pic is gnarly.

What is the most popular tuck nowadays? It's Indy? Followed by Thunder. I'm just thinking of the 92/93 era when everyone rode Venture once they came out with the Featherlight design hanger. And for years every new truck design was a Venture knockoff: from Gullwing little G's, to Tracker, to Tensor.

As an aside, have you known anyone who wasn't a kid who rode any of the wack trucks? Like Webb, Kreper, Titan, Monster, Fury, Mercury, Crail, or Pheonix (yes that was the correct spelling).

Indy has to be #1 by a mile. Thunder is probably up there. I imagine Venture still has a good following. I know people ride Royal and Krux. I'm a little curious about Ace. I saw somebody with Destructos the other week.

Mercury - At least two friends tried them out back then. They said they turned weird.

Titan - Those were super light and kind of odd. I did see a few people ride them.

I recall one or two folks riding Unit Trucks.

For the rest, I don't recall anybody riding them. I don't think I've ever seen some of those in a shop, let alone on a board in the wild.
