Mercantile Venice: Building an Anti-Hero 8.62 with Thunder TII trucks

Mercantile Venice: Building an Anti-Hero 8.62 with Thunder TII trucks

Just set up this fun board at Mercantile Venice. They're a new skate shop by the Venice Pier in Venice, CA. Super fun shop with a good selection of core skate offerings.

I'm pretty set on 14.5 wheelbases for my own tastes. Interested in trying the new Thunder TII's since they shorten the regular Thunder wheelbase by 1/8" I thought I'd try them with a 1/8" longer wheelbase to keep it acting similar maybe.

Interested in trying this out later tonight!

Mercantile Venice: Black Label 9.4" Egg with Thunders and Spitfire Wheels

Hello all, new to this forum but figured we'd drop a few little builds that we do over here. We're a brand new skateshop located by the Venice Pier at 114 Washington Blvd. We built this 9.4" Black Label egg and put Pepper Griptape on it. We stock alot of curb boards down here at Mercantile in Venice Beach.

We built this board with Thunder 161mm trucks that we did a custom Kreper inverted kingpin install on. It got Ace Bearings and some 58mm 97a Spitfire Conical Full wheels.

This board hauls ass, super fun.

Mercantile Venice is keeping real skate culture alive in Venice Beach. If you’re into skateboarding, Venice skate history, DIY culture, street skating, or just finding skate culture that still feels authentic.

We're built around the community instead of hype. Supporting skaters, artists, bike riders, and anyone still pushing core culture forward in Los Angeles.
