Ian Tilmann died after crashing out on a fun longboard run in Florida. Ian wasn't wearing a lid and never regained consciousness. We lost a brother.
The Ian Tilmann Foundation created the Helmet for a Promise program, where people are able to pledge to always wear a helmet and the foundation will provide one at no cost. Click the logo or the text. |

The specs for this skateboard, the name of this skateboard, and the graphics on this skateboard evolved from several hundred posts on silverfish dedicated to developing this "funtime / freeride" deck. This is the first in the COMETOGETHER series, which spins your input into your dream skateboards manufactured by Comet. The FSM is a symmetrical rocker drop-through board with sidecut for a touch of torsional flex. Ride it either way; it's all the same. Drop-through mounts fit most trucks, and we can modify them if necessary.
The art on this board will be created by you. During the voting process for graphics many voiced that they just loved the logo that we burn into the board like a rancher marks his cattle... This factory stamped deck comes with a magic marker to get noodly with!

Longboard Review How long have you ridden the board: 2 monthsWhat is your setup like?: Comet FSM
Paris 180's (Adam Colton)
Bones Swiss 6
O'tang stims 86a (yellow)
Venom Supercarve 89aTypical Session Discipline: DH/SlidesHow much did you pay?: 120 (deck) 300.25 (complete)Where did you purchase it?: MuirSkateWhat were the strengths of the deck.: you feel locked into the board-great concave
Great for DH and sliding
Big nose area for freeride board
Ill graphic
No flex***- makes it great for DHWhat were the weaknesses?: Somewhat heavy---- no complaints, i just wouldn't suggest it for campus long boarding
No flex*** restricts the kinds of tricks you can do
Weak on the corners of the foot surface (i have had this problem with every board that has concave it is not specific to this board)Similar decks you have ridden?: Fullbag Speedstyler is extremely similar
Impressions-
Heavier, i had the same problems with the corners on this board too. This board is heavier and does not really have a nose.Would you recommend it?:
Yes

Longboard Review How long have you ridden the board: 1 monthWhat is your setup like?: Paris 180,
Stock barrel/cone 92ish bushings,
Bennet Alligators 71mm 80a,,
Indy Abec7s (brilliant cheap bearings, try them)Typical Session Discipline: Having fun, trying everythingHow much did you pay?: deck $140AUD second handWhere did you purchase it?: ASRAWhat were the strengths of the deck.: Killer design-
Really tough to get wheelbite.
Concave is just right, flat enough in the middle to be comfy as when pushing, front foot is comfy in tuck, cave tweaks up enough to get sweet leverage in general riding.
Got used to the rocker really quickly and i love it. Feels a lot lower than it really is, filthy for pushing, i dono, i cant exact what makes it sexy but its definately very sexy.
Plenty of meat past the trucks for manuals, shovits.
Stiff but just enough give to absorb road vibrations.
So many strengths.What were the weaknesses?: Bought second hand, so worn in a little. The four corners where concave reaches max tweak have got a bit of wear from where board has slid/fell/i dono upside down. Chipping pretty easily at the noses. Definately going to invest in some nose protection soon.
Heaps of people are ripping on it for snapping, but im treating my board with respect and i havent doubted its strength at all yet.Similar decks you have ridden?: Earthwing SupermodelWould you recommend it?:
Yes
