About Venture Trucks

The brand built its reputation on producing high trucks with a distinctive geometry that suits street skating, and has been associated with some of the most respected street skaters in the world throughout its history. Eric Koston, one of the most influential street skaters of his generation, has been a long-time Venture rider and has pro models in the current range.
