Default Re: Concrete Wave Buyers Guide 2008

Best ad: Paris trucks, by far.
Worst rip-off product: Leif boards "Drifter."
Most deluded: Lynn Cooper as a self-proclaimed "Skate Legend"
Worst Logo: Slip Tape (brooklyn kid=fail)
Best Novelty Shape: Beer Run
Worst Shapes: (3-way tie) Dregs Weapon, Seismic's full line of hammerhead longboards (sorry, not quite classic, Dan), everything Blackkross
The Runway Award (looks good; but it's not for me): Factory 13's awesome routered pigs.
Most Disappointing Graphics: Gravity (the pinstripe/hot rod thing is hot; but what's with the wave pictures?)
Looks Promising: Banks Cove
The Communism Award (looks good on paper; not so much in real life): Heron trucks. Make 'em turn like Indys and I'll buy 3 sets yesterday.
Worst Pro Model: Messiah's Jesus boards.
Best Pro Model: Kebbek Nico.
Most Mediocre: Rivera Longboards (baltic birch pintails! mini cruisers! innovative!).
Rocco Award (Ballsiest Graphic): Shut NYC's Box Cutter.
Worst Company Name: Slow Motion Longboards.
Biggest bandwagon: zip zinger-esque minis, pintails.
Best Slogan: Earthwing: souped up, tricked out, built for speed.
Coach Award (nice stuff that I don't want to pay retail for): Dead Dog skate shorts.
Madonna Award (best comeback): Randal Trucks
Zombie Award (for resurrecting old shapes that died a natural death): Churchill AK-45
