Primitive 8.25 deck with Venture 5.2 V-Hollow Lights

In this video, I setup a new skateboard and talk about why I set it up that way!

[@Rawwithhajra]

It's so fun to watch you do the skateboarding 😃😃 good job

[@markfriday]

Thanks, Haj! How are you btw?

[@papakris]

your tricks are so cool. take care always sir 😊

[@markfriday]

Thank you so much, Kris! Appreciate it!

I am hesitant to try an 8.25 on my 5.25 ventures. is there much of an imbalance?

[@markfriday]

You should be fine. Just put 2-3 speedrings (washers) on the inside to spread of the wheels all the way out! Only problem is you'll need to find where to buy the washers.

I love venture lows, but haven’t used them since I started skating an 8.25, was curious to see how the would work on Primitive boards since that’s what I skate

[@XayachackFilms]

You still skating the ventures? How do you like them? Pros and cons. I've tried Tensors, Thunders, Ace but can't really find a home. 😢

[@Skkirrrrrrrttttt]

Crisp deck😭 Did you add the spacers to your new set up aswell?

[@markfriday]

Hey, Anthony! Yes! I know a lot of skaters don't like putting those but they really help keep your axles from warping and keeps your wheels rolling even during an axle slip! Btw, where are you from? You skate too, right?

[@Skkirrrrrrrttttt]

@@markfriday hey mark, im from east Los Angeles and you? I grew up skateboarding but gave it up when i got older but now im getting back into it! I ask about the spacers because i recently ordered a 8.25 and some 5.2 ventures as well amd was wondering if they’ll fit good with out spacers

[@markfriday]

@@Skkirrrrrrrttttt so cool! same here, bro! I stopped skateboarding for the longest time but decided to pick it up again last year! What board brand did you get?

[@MariaZepetoAvtr]

Where do you get those axle spacers?

[@MariaZepetoAvtr]

Hello

[@markfriday]

Hey there! I got them from a local longboard shop here in HK. Here's a link to their shop: sbdwlongboards.com/products/valkyrie-axle-spacers Do you skate too?

[@MariaZepetoAvtr]

I wanted to buy those axle spacers but unfortunately they are not available here in ph, sad to say it’s hard to find skateboard gears here. we are force to buy only what’s available here we have no other choice.

[@waiwai812]

Are they venture 5.2 low?

[@markfriday]

Yes they are! I like the Venture lows because the tail hits a lot sooner! But the problem is, I easily get wheelbite now and doing grinds are not as easy. You have to grind down the kingpin first.

[@waiwai812]

@@markfriday i wanna buy a pair too but it is experience in hong kong

[@markfriday]

@@waiwai812 oh! You're from Hong Kong? Have we skated together before?

[@waiwai812]

@@markfriday No , haha where you skate?

[@tonykeltsflorida]

I thought you were going to get serious about some photography stuff.

[@markfriday]

Hey, Tony! Haha! Thanks for the support though! Appreciate having you here!
