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.

Now that I have used Carver C7 trucks on a few boards, my sets of Randals, indys, Trackers and even Holeys are collecting dust...
I have bought alot of diferent setups looking for something I couldn't describe...I have found it with this board and setup.
Longboard Review
How long have you ridden the board: Almost every day since December 25th 2007
What 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 lucky
How much did you pay?: $189.99
Where did you purchase it?: http://store.valueweb.com/servlet/carver/Detail?no=6
What 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
