This location has since evolved into a crucial testing ground for SF’s transition-skating enthusiasts.

The China Banks gained iconic status in the skateboarding world after being featured in a seminal Venture ad in 1985, showcasing Ken Takeda’s groundbreaking roll-in. This moment has since been etched into skateboarding lore.

Venture Trucks, established in the early 1980s by the Vitello family, was initially conceived as a competitor to Tracker. The brand’s trajectory shifted when Mark Gonzales, a skateboarding luminary, began using their trucks, catapulting Venture into the limelight among street skaters.

Known for their lightweight yet robust construction and precise geometry, Venture Trucks are produced in the Ermico factory, also founded by the Vitellos.

In the 1990s, under the guidance of Greg Carroll, Venture underwent a significant transformation. The brand introduced the “featherlight” model during this period, featuring a lower profile and design elements specifically tailored for technical street skating.

Venture was a pioneer in adapting to changing trends in truck design, being the first to adopt the smaller hole pattern that was gaining popularity at the time.

Today, Venture Trucks are available in two heights ā€“ low and high ā€“ and come in widths ranging from 5.0 to 6.1, accommodating a wide array of deck sizes. While originally favored by street skaters, their versatile design makes them suitable for various skateboarding terrains.
