This is for the serious downhill racer, its not really much of a freeride or commuter in my opinion. I found it some what hard to make hard turns on it. The ride is really smooth and controlled i just wanted to have a little mroe range of motion.

This really is one of the greatest all around boards. you can go down some really gnarly hills and still be able to have a bunch of fun on the flats. The one and only thing it can't do effectively is be a good commuter board, because it's so damn heavy.

Longboard Review

How long have you ridden the board: 1 month
What is your setup like?: Randal R-II 42*
Blast wave 78a OR Bigzig 77a (pink)
Typical Session Discipline: Cruising, carving, dh
How much did you pay?: $165
Where did you purchase it?: Mile High Skates
What were the strengths of the deck.: Very stable yet at the same time very nimble. It turns just about as well as my dervish (R-II 50*). It's really fun to ride, as you can just bomb a hill with not a hint of wobble, or you can hard carve the entire way.

The wide platform and the nice concave is very comfortable. This feels good, but also gives you amazing amounts of leverage, which makes turning a breeze.

The conc

Very stiff, but not a bumpy stiff. It is rock hard stiff, but it still rides very smoothly.
What were the weaknesses?: HEAVY. The deck itself must weigh twice as much as my Dervish (sans hardware)It is also twice as thick.
Not a good commuter board, as it just tires you out due to the weight.

Wide? This depends on your setup, if you have thin wheels or some without a good lip, it can sometimes tip over if you turn too much. This doesn't happen with Bigzigs, though.
Similar decks you have ridden?: Landy DHR
Dervish
Sector Nine speed board (forgot the name)
Would you recommend it?: Yes

Recommend to serious riders, makes a good cruiser board, but someone who uses this board just for cruising is wasting one of these amazing boards!!!!

Longboard Review

How long have you ridden the board: about a month now
What is your setup like?: Black Bear Grizzlies, Earthwing Superballs (76mm, 82a [for downhill]), Gravity Super Sliders (72mm, 90a [for sliding]), Custom bushings by a friend (some khiros soft and medium), IDS Oust MOC 7 Speed Bearings
Typical Session Discipline: Downhill, Sliding, Cruising, Carving
How much did you pay?: around $270
Where did you purchase it?: FullbagSkates.com
What were the strengths of the deck.: especially with this setup this board is the smoothest ride someone could ever ask for. board has great agility and no matter what your stance, you can be comfortable. It downhills like no other. I have never had a problem with speed wabble. looks sick and is very aerodynamic! The concave completely locks your feet in! The SpeedCarver can do practically anything you want it to!!!! Amazing Board!!!
What were the weaknesses?: the paint on the bottom chips really easily and the paint ges water spots that are really hard to get off. This boards only weaknesses are in its paint. But neither of these are are a problem really at all. barely ever even bothers me!

The Fullbag Speed Carver is an excellent choice to fulfill that downhill crave.

Longboard Review

Typical Session Discipline: Downhill
How much did you pay?: Somewhere between $230-240

What were the strengths of the deck.: This board is extremely well crafted. The craftsmanship is beyond expectations. Its platform is very comfortable and its concave locks you in tight. It is stable, yet it turns when you want it to. The wheels grip like no tomorrow. I am able to stick tight turns at 35-40mph. No joke. Oh, and the bearings fly. The Fullbag Speed Carver is an excellent choice to fulfill that downhill crave.
