Longboard Review How long have you ridden the board: 1 1/2 YearsWhat is your setup like?: -180 mm Holey Trucks, standard (but awesome) red bushings
-Currently O'tang In Heats (purple), but also O'tang Durians
-Abec 9 BearingsTypical Session Discipline: Usually dancing, some downhillHow much did you pay?: roughly $275 for the whole setup, about $150 if i remember right for the deck aloneWhere did you purchase it?: longboardlarry.comWhat were the strengths of the deck.: The komodo was designed in part by the man, the myth, the legend himself- you all know him and love him, lets give it up forrrrr da da da dum dum DUMMM - Adam Colton. That being said, it's a similar board to Adam's Old School Dancer. It's a flat board, 48" long, that's built perfectly for, like the description says, boardwalking, dancing, and nose manuals. What the description DOESN'T say is that it's also perfect for (recreational) downhill, all kinds of shoveits, and basically any other trick you'd expect out of a longer board. It's got a snappy flex, perfect for carving down that hill and bustin out a few cross steps along the way. If you like to dance, but also love a versatile ride, the Komodo is perfect. Also, it's a surprisingly light board considering its fairly large size, which means those tigerclaws and shoveits are gonna be that much cleaner. I would absolutely recommend this board.What were the weaknesses?: Not a whole lot to say here, but if i have to say something i'd say that though the tail is perfect for shoveits and whatnot, it's too long for an easy nose manual (though not impossible. the nose is just easier). Which is fine, it just means you'll have to get it around again to nose manual. Also, obviously, it's a longer board so it can't take turns as tightly as something shorter, but like i said, that's obvious and to be expected. Just saying ;)Similar decks you have ridden?: Longboard Larry Old School Dancer - The Komodo's big brother, this board is 60" as opposed to the Komodo's 48". It's an amazing ride, but i like the Komodo better because it's more versatile because of its shorter length and awesome nose and tail.
Loaded Dancer - Adam Colton's masterpiece, this board is.. well, a masterpiece. it's much heavier than the Komodo, so you may like or dislike that depending on your boardy tastes. I'm pretty sure Mr. Colton wanted to perfect the Komodo's nose and tail to fine-tune their manual and shove-itting abilities, so on the Dancer the nose and tail are slightly angled. Again, it's all about YOUR tastes when purchasing a board, but if you want a flat, lighter, shorter dancer, go with the Komodo. Also, the Komodo is considerably cheaper. Always a plus.Would you recommend it?:
Yes

Longboard Review How long have you ridden the board: A few monthsWhat is your setup like?: Paris 180s/Venom bushings/Purple In Heat OtangsTypical Session Discipline: Freestyle, Carving, CruisingHow much did you pay?: N/AWhere did you purchase it?: LarryWhat were the strengths of the deck.: A refreshing amount of flex with a good yet subtle amount of snap back. I love the nose. Its pretty big which leaves room for you to balance while doing huge g-turns and long distance manuals. I'd say its THE most versatile non-drop thru deck on the market.What were the weaknesses?: Hard to go from such a large nose and tail to more stubbed noses such as the Dervish and other boards. Its also hard to leave alone =}Similar decks you have ridden?: Gravity Mini-CarveWould you recommend it?:
Yes
