Not a bad board at all, but I feel as if there are better out there. If you can get your hands on just the deck then you're in business because the deck is great.

It's not really my best friend but it's probably, definetly one of the most sickest things in the universe! It lasts long, all my friends like it and want one,so if you like mini boards, this is the thing for you!

Longboard Review

How long have you ridden the board: About a year, maybe 11 months.
What is your setup like?: G2 (gear guys) trucks, wheels, bearings and hardware.But now I put some Abec 11 grippins wheels on it which give it an even faster and smoother ride!
Typical Session Discipline: CRUZER ALL THE WAY
How much did you pay?: $100
Where did you purchase it?: Gear guys.com
What were the strengths of the deck.: It rides really nice just like a big longboard except its not like you have revenges on it and you can manual really easy too. It bunny hops great and turns snappy but doesn't throw you off.
What were the weaknesses?: Its kinda heavy and swivvles when you speed , but its still awesome! Plus the wheels cant slide but who cares. also, with the grippins and really thick risers it still gets wheel bite here and there.
Similar decks you have ridden?: Kind of like the GFH pigme but that board is downright oldschool! Thats another board I recomend. The pocket rocket is it's own thing, not very similar to other rides but still gnarly.
Would you recommend it?: Yes
