Built with a slight tail kick to make toe manuals easier and an even more slight tail kick to pick your board up with.

It's an awesome deck in general for carving and some downhilling. I wouldn't go above 40+ mph if you don't have the right trucks setup.
Longboard Review
How long have you ridden the board: 1 year
What is your setup like?: bear trucks, 4 president 83a
Typical Session Discipline: downhill, carving, a little bit of dancing
How much did you pay?: 228
Where did you purchase it?: www.stokedskateboards.com
What were the strengths of the deck.: This board is awesome for carving and light downhilling. It gets sketchy around 35-40 mph, but it won't speed wobble if you set it up right. It carves like no other (in my opinion, better than the dervish). It has a slight flex just enough for carving but sturdy enough to go fast. I love this board.
What were the weaknesses?: This board is not a true downhill board.
Similar decks you have ridden?: Dervish, custom dropthrough board, landyachtz drop carve
Would you recommend it?: Yes
Was this review helpful to you? yes     no

I'd like to try some more Rayne brand boards. Maybe the Hellcat next!
Longboard Review
How long have you ridden the board: 2 Months
What is your setup like?: Currently running 1 paris 180 on the front and a Bear Grizzly on the back.
Typical Session Discipline: Parking decks and cruising
How much did you pay?: 125 for the deck and trucks
Where did you purchase it?: Got it from a stand-up member of Sfish
What were the strengths of the deck.: The deck is a little stiffer than most decks I've been riding. I weigh 150lb and it flexes ever so slightly for me, which isn't a bad thing. It's great for bombing some gnarly hills but it also rides great around town.

It's a great board for sliding. As soon as you want to break the back end loose it'll whip around, but only if you want it to. The large foot room is also a plus!

What were the weaknesses?: The deck is a little flat with not much of a concave to it. The shape isn't the most attractive, but it works. I'm on the ugly-graphic-ship with everyone else. The picture on the bottom is as uncool as Hillary Clinton.
Similar decks you have ridden?: NS Heist (highly recommended) and Loaded Vanguard.
Would you recommend it?: Yes
Was this review helpful to you? yes     no
