This board inspires so much confidence. It?s easy to kick, not a burden to carry around the city, ridiculously stable, carves well, holds momentum like dry ice and begs to tame the most spastic hills.

If you are the kind of person who commutes for 3k?s or more, does not want to kick for ages on flats, likes the taste of some speed, is not too concerned with dancing and wants a serious toy, this is the holy grail.

well in order to rock a bigzig style wheel you need to cut it down a bit, and wheelweels cuz if you plan to ride with loose trucks you will get wheelbite.

Longboard Review
How long have you ridden the board: a week
What is your setup like?: reds, 83mm flys, grizzly 852's
Typical Session Discipline: carving, dh, thrashing, soft wheel sliding
How much did you pay?: about 250
Where did you purchase it?: muir
What were the strengths of the deck.: considering the short wheelbase and how loose i ride my trucks, this board is mad stable, combined with the crazy tight hairpins i make, this thing feels unstoppable. it slides like a burly man beast would if it could, and on top of that i love riding switch to reg and back, so the bidirectional construction is fantastic. it's way light for a speedboard too- carbon fiber would be the only competition.
What were the weaknesses?: none so far.
Similar decks you have ridden?: hellcat, switch, or nemesis.

Yes, its incredibly versatile, and can be easily setup for pretty much any style. I highly recommend this deck.
Longboard Review
How long have you ridden the board: A month.
What is your setup like?: Drop Carve Board with no tail.
Paris Colton Sig 180mm
Bones Super Swiss
Orangatang 4pres

Typical Session Discipline: Carving, Freestyle, Downhill.
How much did you pay?: $237.95
Where did you purchase it?: www.longboardskater.com
What were the strengths of the deck.: It is really super durable. The shape of the deck makes it easily setup with large wheels, and not too much worry on wheel bite, even when dropped lower than normal. The board is so nice. The Otang 4pres wheels really ride so smooth, and the trucks are awesome as well.
What were the weaknesses?: A little short for downhill, and the grip tape would bubble around the trucks. I removed the tape there, and had to apply sealer. Not really any weaknesses though.
Similar decks you have ridden?: Dervish, Vanguard, Drop Speed, everything. I prefer this board to any other that I've ever ridden.
Would you recommend it?: Yes
Was this review helpful to you? yes     no
