The bite sized rocket, this mini is built for pedestrian slalom. The board’s stiff flex allows for hard pumping while sliding on command. This board is a great campus cruiser and pumper. (Taken from www.legendarylongboards.com) (Photo credits- www.legendarylongboards.com)

Longboard Review How long have you ridden the board: a weekWhat is your setup like?: I have the drop through version, and I also got the longer/wider (29" x 9") deck. Paris 150s, 70mm/83a orangatang 4prez, bones reds.Typical Session Discipline: commuting, carving, messing aroundHow much did you pay?: $160Where did you purchase it?: Legendary websiteWhat were the strengths of the deck.: no wheelbite! fairly stiff (only slightly flexes under my 200 lb.), responsive, and stable considering how tight it turns. if I'm taking the train or hanging out with friends who don't ride, this is the deck I take. I thought the short length would be sketchy on hills, but it's actually super solid and easier to DH than a Dervish IMO. the noses/tails are usable for hopping cracks, etc. The concave is quite comfortable for my size 13 feet.What were the weaknesses?: it's a tiny bit heavy for the size. (heavier than the loaded pintail, which is the other deck I've ridden Paris 150s on.) the foot space is quite small. I got it dropped through and having the baseplates on top cuts into the foot room even more. the finish, while nice looking, scratches easily and the ends of the deck are already messed up from normal use. It's delaminated, too.Similar decks you have ridden?: s9, arbor minis. sort of like an old school carving deck like dogtown, etc. but vastly superior due to the wheel cutouts, you don't have to add risers. the drop throughs make this the lowest mini I've tried.Would you recommend it?:
No
