Longboard Review How long have you ridden the board: 21 monthsWhat is your setup like?: Ordered the deck without the drop though cutouts, Seismic 180mm 45/30 degree trucks, and Seismic SpeedventsTypical Session Discipline: Bombing/Speed Carving/GaragesHow much did you pay?: Almost 2 yrs ago can't rememberWhere did you purchase it?: SubsonicWhat were the strengths of the deck.: I had Scott Glass the deck and told him I wanted the board to have a slight flex, not much just enough to take the edge off of rougher pavement. Scott nailed the flex. The board is very stable carves great with the Seismic trucks and wheels, and drifting is smooth and predictable. The faster you go the better it feels.What were the weaknesses?: None that I really see, the board does everything I was expecting it to and then some. Don't know if this is a weakness but it is the heaviest board I own.Similar decks you have ridden?: Subsonic Swift 42", Longboard Larry Drop BoardWould you recommend it?:
Yes
