This longboard is good for commuting and its great for carving. Cool graphic and the clear griptape really shows the beauty of the bamboo, but the griptape can trap dirt easily. Overall this board is a carving machine.

- beautiful board
- made solid
- perfect amount of flex for downhill
- served as a perfect "first board"

i first stepped onto this deck in the early summer of 07 and i fell in love. i hadn't gotten on to a skateboard since i was in like 6th grade and this board was a perfect rentry into the "skating world." i took it everywhere i went. i was on tour this summer, and every place we stopped, i had to get out and just play around on it. this board came with us everywhere. its seen highways and rest stops, the appalachians, the upper pennisula of michigan, country roads of indiana, streets of missouri, EVERYWHERE... and when i was home, i couldn't resist taking it around the neighborhood. a few impressed friends went out and bought themselves their own boards, both being sector9s, which just never felt right under my feet. this board was/ still is nothing short of awesome.

What were the strengths of the deck.: i thought the deck had a great asthetic. its a good lookin board. also it has a phenomenal shape. slight concave gave it the stability and rigidity i like.
