Not all skate shirts are black! Check out the Silverfish Gear Page . There are new men's, women's and kids' shirts! (Some are even black.) We're using "spreadshirt", so you order straight from them. Dig through the listings and you'll find some classic 'Fish designs, including shirts with art taken from member Ryan's art-pen drawings. Have an idea for a shirt? Send it in! |

Paired with the C-7 trucks, this is a pumping, carving, slashing machine!
This little board handles like its namesake, fast and loose. The short wheelbase makes this mini the easiest board to pump, effortlessly carving non-stop lines without ever putting your foot down. The snappy handling and perpetual motion turns your driveway and curb cut into a micro-skatepark.

Longboard Review How long have you ridden the board: August 2007What is your setup like?: Stock from the Carver eBay store (which I'm not sure if exists anymore) with their C7 trucks, Carver bearings and 65mm wheels, risers, and hardware.Typical Session Discipline: For this board: flats.How much did you pay?: ~$165 if I remember correctly.Where did you purchase it?: Carver eBay store.What were the strengths of the deck.: + Nice and beefy (wide) under the feet.
+ Solid construction
+ Simple, very attractive graphic (to me)
+ Ultra portable (good for a mini skate at those rest stops and gas stations)What were the weaknesses?: - Only new school mounts, but if you're getting them with the C7s, it's not an issue
- Not much else with the deck itself (see review for info about the complete)Would you recommend it?:
Yes

Longboard Review How long have you ridden the board: Almost every day since December 25th 2007What is your setup like?: It is the factory setup with the C7 trucks, abec 7 bearings(which I swaped out with Swiss Labrynths)and Carver 65mm 78a center set wheels.Typical Session Discipline: Concrete Park(Arlington VA) Basement ramps, nice hills, Garages, and a ditch when luckyHow much did you pay?: $189.99Where did you purchase it?: http://store.valueweb.com/servlet/carver/Detail?no=6What were the strengths of the deck.: Carving like nothing else...pretty sure I can make it carve in a sub 5 foot circle...the C7s are actually stable enough for hills and not an issue dropping in(I had my doubts at first). No joke, after you carve down a hill, if you are fit enough, you and pump right back up...I have gotten to the point now that I can skate about 1/4 mile without putting a foot down.What were the weaknesses?: um, it has a shorter wheelbase then I normaly skate, I prefer a 19-22 inch wheelbase...
I have hit a few grinds, without issues, but I can see the front truck pivoting at maybe an inopertune moment.Similar decks you have ridden?: I have the same set up on a Gravity LB33 and love it...I have placed the same set up on my Gravity BE40 and loved it and am sceeming another set of C7 trucks for it.Would you recommend it?:
Yes
