Silverfish Longboarding - The Longboard Skateboard Community - All-Road Terminator: the Flexboardz Karrika
As said Bluegrasssurfer, if you look for a powerful carver, I am confident that a Flexboardz will do the job. but for flat land cruising/pumping, it's not the best choice (even if it can be pumped).
Concerning the price, it's linked to the Usd exchange rate...so there is not much that we can do about it!
