Yeh im so stoked for the drop speed it's rediculous.
Ado reckons the parts will come in within a couple weeks.
I couldn't help but create it in paint...so i could see what it'll look like.
Check it.
ahh i dont recomend the drop speed. i bought one from landyachtz headquarters in june,..ive seen 3 other riders now with that board. ALL of them have chunks out of the front and back the board is like glass. mines ####ed getting my buddy to fix it up for me. i thot it was sweet at first but now im always complaining about it. im tall but theres enough room to tuck but i think it sucks for sliding. theres just not enough foot room in my opinion. i dig how its symetrical but its not as good as i thought it would be. i suggest putting some guards on it as soon as u get it if u want it to last. but its all personal preference i hope u like it. but i think its much better at a freeride board. u can take it at high speeds but u can take pintails at high speeds.
anyway not to kill your stoke or anything. i still ride mine but i have another board i use for serious dh.

i don't really see how it'd be too much more fragile then any other drop-mounted board. From everything (else) i've heard the deck is a tank..i didn't know glass came in 9 plys...
Did i say i wanted to use it for serious dh? I’m just after a symmetrical free-ride board that can take some more speed than the pintail.
Yeah you can take pintails at high speeds, for sure, but 50-60ks on a flex 4 loaded pintail with loose trucks n super soft bushings isn't exactly ideal for it
Thanks for the heads-up, might look into some guards...mostly coz they look badass
another river cruise on wednesday night abuot 730 meet at the tafe carpark but let me know because we come off the ramp and go. or the mciver train station. basically east perth near the train line. or the castle corner of pier and newcastle i think it is. its where we start
we generally skate from there down to the river up the graham farmer and across the river then down to the narrows across that and back up to east perth past trinity.
its about 20km so bring a drink or a one between you if your bring mates.

Trev, new guy Ben and his mates, some rando guy maybe who's name I forget (memory of a sieve). Hopefully Craig dog. Do you have Cal's number? I might get Trev dog to msg him, either way it should be a sweet sesh.
Apparently Ben is a bit of a carpark regular and knows a bazillion parks, so should be some joy discovering on the cards.
