Longboard Review

How long have you ridden the board: 18 months
What is your setup like?: Pogo Plates with Radikal Talon hangers, Avila's (white front blue back) Biltins.
Typical Session Discipline: Downhill
How much did you pay?: AU$560
Where did you purchase it?: Wefunk
What were the strengths of the deck.: The best feature is this decks ability to eat imperfections in the road. I have run over the "Wake-up" lines they put on the sides of the roads down here on this board without incident. Any other board skips all over the place.
What were the weaknesses?: It is so pretty I am scared to scratch it (;-)>
Similar decks you have ridden?: Only thing that comes close is my other Wefunks
Would you recommend it?: Yes
