How To: Make Venom "Almost Precision" Trucks with Zak Maytum | Muirskate Longboard Shop
Tune in to Muirskate's "How To" series with special guest Zak Maytum, owner, founder, and team rider of Venom Products, as he tells us about one of our newest Muirskate Exclusive Products, the "Almost Precision Trucks" Pack with Venom Urethane.
After 8 years of sampling different aftermarket components of a longboard truck, Muirskate has perfected The Almost Precision Truck Package. Our package of aftermarket components is designed to reduce most of the unnecessary movement in a cast truck. In another words, The Almost Precision Truck Package dials in the feel that you should expect in a cast truck. We know that every rider is unique and his/her style or riding may vary, therefore we offer a number of customized packages to choose from.
The Almost Precision Truck Packages includes:
1. TWO (2) Array Precision Washers with a center sleeve, creates even pressure over the bushing generating more rebound for a smoother and precise turn. Note: Adding a second pair of Array Precision Sleeved Washers boardside will increase bushing rebound. For practical purposes, one pair roadside is sufficient.
2. TWO (2) Aluminum Grade Cup Washers were added to keep the bushings tight up against the wall of the washer restricting bushing deformation thus improving stability. Note: Array Precision Cup Washers are available at Muirskate.com.
3. TWO (2) Factory Venom Pivot Cups are included to restrict movement in the area between the hanger pivot and the baseplate. Stock pivot cups wear quickly, therefore replacing them will clean up the unnecessary movement in the cast truck. The softer 90A dampens road vibration for a smoother ride when cruising and carving. The harder 93A and 97A durometer is more responsive while cornering and accelerates your return-to-center.
4. THREE (3) packs of Venom Downhill DH Barrel Bushings for customizing the suspension under your longboard. The Classic DH formula has a great blend of stability and rebound making them great for Downhill as well as fast Freeriding.
*Note: Each of the aforementioned longboard skateboard components are available for sale individually at Muirskate.com. Feel free to use our package as a guide to selecting your Customized Almost Precision Truck Package.

Adolf Hitler you can't overdose on weed. I don't know the specifics, but you need to smoke a ridiculously high number of blunts in a certain time period. You physically cannot smoke that many, it's inhumanly possible
The venom pivot cups only fit in Caliber, Paris and Gunmetal trucks.

pat reilly Yes, but we only have the ronin pivots in the Riptide urethane. This video/product can also acts as a guide, so if you want to mix and match brands you can still purchase the items individually.

What venom pivot cup would go best for bear grizzly? And would they fit for that truck?
bought this kit and i can't get them dialed in on my caliber 50s.. should offer cones
I weight under 75kg what bushing and pivot setup do recommend i do sliding/freeriding and downhill. pls help )
would i need anything for my lite rey trucks? ie. new pivot cups and bushings
I'm not saying this does nothing for you but I have precision trucks, cronins, savants and calibers and there is nothing you can do to get close to a precision trucks with a basic caliber. Precision trucks get their results mainly from the hanger so just buy a Hanger and put it on a cast baseplate and ad this kit if you want a little something extra but precision trucks are precision trucks because they are milled out of solid material so I'd just buy k3 hangers, or Ronin prolite hangers for cronins and go fr there
Do they fit on different brands of trucks?
Which pivot cups would work best with bear trucks?
And do the pivot cups fit gullwing? Thanks
It's too bad they don't still sell these packs. Looks like a crispy setup

I weigh the same and this is what I use: Front: 87a road side, 90a board side, 97a pivot Rear: 90a road side, 93a board side, 93a pivot That setup is great for pretty much anything and is super stable at 100km/h

Where can I get this kit in the uk?
what about putting some wedge angle 7* at the back trucks, does that make precission feel to any cast trucks?
@muirskate
7 жыл бұрын
The Almost Precision Kit and de-wedging the back truck do two different things. The Precision Kit reduces slop and gives you the proper rebound out of your bushings, giving you a more precision feel. De-wedging the back truck will give you more stability when downhilling and help keep your from getting speed wobbles. If you're downhilling I'd recommend doing both. If your freeriding, I'd recommend just doing the Almost Precision Kit.

What is the difference between the machine cup washers and standard caliber cup washers?
@muirskate
9 жыл бұрын
+Cody Chinothai The machined washers hug the bushing much tighter and have vertical walls instead of transitional walls. This gives you a quicker return to center (more rebound). The tighter tolerances also make the bushing feel slightly harder because it can't deform as much (you might want to drop down a duro to compensate for this). Hope this helps!
What venom pivot cup do you recommend to a 125 lb person doing fast freeride...?
