Longboard Review How long have you ridden the board: 4 monthsWhat is your setup like?: Crails with khiro bushings, 78a gumballs, biltins, drop-throughTypical Session Discipline: Speedboarding/commutingHow much did you pay?: 220Where did you purchase it?: chicagolongboards.comWhat were the strengths of the deck.: The deck is great! It's light and stiff (torsionally stiff as well). Mr. Chicagolongboards can custom drop it through (what he did for me) if you don't want top-mount. Wheel-wells are great, construction and finishing are top-notch, and the board is beautiful. The best riding speedboard I've ever had.What were the weaknesses?: The nose could break during a high speed impact. Just use some rubber impact softeners if this concerns you (I don't and it hasn't been a problem)Similar decks you have ridden?: Rayne DemonseedWould you recommend it?:
Yes
