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. Check back for new designs, as we prepare to release the Fall Line (soon as Armani signs off...) |

Longboard Review How long have you ridden the board: 1 monthWhat is your setup like?: Randal Comp II 170mm with kriptos 85mm racecore or bigzig lemonTypical Session Discipline: serious freeride/downhillHow much did you pay?: 120$ usedWhere did you purchase it?: a friendWhat were the strengths of the deck.: Pretty agile, stiff as hell, stable, perfect freeride board.What were the weaknesses?: Its construction.
They just didnt put enough pression on the deck when building it. It delams ridiculously fast if it touches the water, even just 1 hour.Similar decks you have ridden?: DemonseedWould you recommend it?:

Longboard Review How long have you ridden the board: about 2 monthsWhat is your setup like?: Randal 180s, Black Khiros in the front Purple Khiros in the back,GOS S9 Nineballs, Roknrons rocketsTypical Session Discipline: DownhillHow much did you pay?: $90 UsedWhere did you purchase it?: From a friend that got it off of chicagolongboards.comWhat were the strengths of the deck.: Smooth, Stable ride thats still somewhat carvable with the randals a little loose. also it seems to have a bigger platform then other comparable drop decks like the Evo. Since theres a little more standing room I feel like its easier to get my tall skinny frame in tuck with room for my feet.What were the weaknesses?: Hmmm?... Drifty setup but not neccesarily the decks fault.Similar decks you have ridden?: Landyachtz EvoWould you recommend it?:
Yes
