This is the first board in my quiver and I have no regrets. This board is great if you want to start longboarding. I started off learning dancing moves with no problem on this board. The length and width of the board is great for it. Furthermore I was able to learn slides as well with this board.

Overall, this is a great all around board that you should consider.

I've tried various set ups with the Superglider - including, the much loved Indy 149's, both on flat risers and wedged/dewedged salom style. I've found that the amount of riser needed to avoid wheelbite cancelled out the much mooted lower height advantage of Indys. So at the moment I'm back on the Randalls which work perfectly fine. I'll probably pop my Bennetts on there and see if it can be turned into more of a pumper.

Great board.

Longboard Review

How long have you ridden the board: about a year - this is the older, narrower Glider
What is your setup like?: Currently back on Randall II 150's with orange Khiro & blue Venom barrels. No risers. Speedy Lunatic bearings. 66mm 82A Superballs.
Typical Session Discipline: urban asphalt gliding
How much did you pay?: Around 200 bucks complete
Where did you purchase it?: Blade Boards & Skate, NYC
What were the strengths of the deck.: It's just an easy, go-to deck. Thin and light, with a great snappy flex. Clever wedged nose for increasing turning and a nice little foot pocket. You can feel it's genetic heritage as the little sister of the mighty Broadway Bombing sprint winning Supercharger.

It also appears to be bombproof, with walls coming off second best to the 'Glider.
What were the weaknesses?: It could do with a little more cut out on wheelwells to allow for a lower setup when riding with Indys. I guess the nose is a bit small for manuals, but if they were your thing, you'd be looking elsewhere anyway. I'm not keen on the graphic either, and personally find it the least attractive of all the Earthwing graphics. Not that it put me off the board in any way.
Similar decks you have ridden?: Supercharger - another great Earthwing.
Would you recommend it?: Yes

I'd recommend this board to any big dude who wants to cruise, do tricks and simply wants to have a good time!

Longboard Review

How long have you ridden the board: 3 days
What is your setup like?: Randal II 180 with red Khiro Bitches (running them pretty loose)
Lime Abec Freerides and VXB red bearings
No risers.
Typical Session Discipline: Cruising, carving, tricks
How much did you pay?: 130 (including international shipping)
Where did you purchase it?: Directly from Earthwing
What were the strengths of the deck.: The board is great for big dudes, it's wide (I have the new version) and it flexes really nicely under my weight (240).

I haven't really ridden decks with this amount of concave before, but i like it. It locks in your feet and is comfortable.
What were the weaknesses?: Compared to the oldschool poolboard I was riding, it's a little less agile. This took a little getting used to.

Also, since I only had the board for a couple of days, I can't say anything about the long term durability of the board. (Although this is supposed to be quite good).
Similar decks you have ridden?: None really, a home made board and a gecko which kind of compare. But the superglider is so much nicer!
Would you recommend it?: Yes
