Longboard Review How long have you ridden the board: 1 yearWhat is your setup like?: RII 180s, reds bones, 79/81 sector 9 DH wheelsTypical Session Discipline: DH, slidingHow much did you pay?: 124Where did you purchase it?: Hanger 94What were the strengths of the deck.: never catches the wheels, great clearance due to tapering shape, great concave, keeps your feet locked in and secure, very durable, wood isnt too soft, been dropped, bailed, run over, force bent, and it still holds its shape with only minor scratches (dents in nose and tail). great cruiser.What were the weaknesses?: flexibility makes it a little rough to ride at speed, not enough to pump in and out of carves effeciently, clear tape doesnt have much grip for very long, truck location in rear could be a little further towards tip of tailSimilar decks you have ridden?: a whole bunch of 9sWould you recommend it?:
Yes
