Hybrid Drop deck SPEEDBOARD:

Another Name:WEDGENOSE SPEEDBOARD:

by lowering the board deck and changing the
turning angle on the truck’s mount point
at the same time ,
create a stable deck that has quicker responsiveness.What makes the
wedgenose so great is that if it ever gets a wobble, it tends to feel like the
first wobble is the worst and then it stabilizes itself almost immediately.

This kind of skateboard makes the rider
easier to push, keep lower stance, more stable and has the
least response to wobbles at high speeds. The first real speedboards made
with this design were invented by pro speedboarder .it is in same time as
a all around board.

wedgenose makes the turn easider than top mount or drop through board.
rider can apply the angled riser pads to change the truck angle or
change the bushings with different hardness to match your riding style,

you will get the board you want, no mater when,
speeding downhill, carving, cruising.....

Deck : 41*9.5 inches , wheels base : 37.5 inches

Maple & 2 layers of fiber on top &bottom ,

a layer of tri axial fiber in the middle.

Evo Knockoff?

**gavmck** · 11-06-2009 04:26 AM

Wheelbase 37.5"?!?!?! Hahaha that's bloody massive!

I've just got a deck like that, but it has a 30" WB, for PIMP hybrid urban action or whatever it's called

have you ever seen an evo?

**Bombsquad_Manny** · 11-06-2009 06:35 PM

lol.
the pics for the board were taken at a skate park.

**green** · 11-06-2009 06:41 PM

Thats definitely an evo with the mold modded for flat back. If the board is 42 inches long, it cant have a 37 inch wheelbase unless the bolts are off the board. Trucks on oldschool mounting are 2.5 inches from bolt to bolt, so that means that its 5 inches taken away, plus the pivot cups so the very most the wheelbase could be is 36. My guess is its 34-35 like normal evos.

**jabobstro** · 11-06-2009 07:11 PM

instead of measuring straight across did he go down the slope of the board which would add a few more inches,know what i mean??

same guy who made the knock-off loaded

**longboardingchick** · 11-06-2009 07:22 PM

I think this is the same guy selling knock off loadeds here in vancouver.

Even if these are knockoffs...anyone know if they are any good?

**DeathBoard** · 02-17-2010 07:03 PM

**Skanonymous** · 02-17-2010 07:06 PM

I personally wouldn't trust it. You are better off buying from a reputable brand, rather than some stupid knock off.

**ggp1714** · 02-17-2010 08:11 PM

Just finished reading this. Definitely a lot of argument going on about the morals of the whole deal but not a lot of insight as to how the board actually performs
Suspicious longboard.

**pesko101** · 02-21-2010 07:48 PM

i got the urban dervish knockoff,
wheels: crap
trucks: crap
deck: legit

i recomend the urban boards if you only need a deck and not a complete

**boardnorth** · 04-15-2010 08:28 PM

I just picked up that urban hybrid speedboard. it is the first dropdeck board i've ridden and i absolutely love it compared to the sector 9 pipeline and others that i've learned to bomb on. I want to know what setup do i want to buy that is supposed to be the best? I'm excited that it gets better than this!!!!

i'm riding typhoon 87mm wheels just like the pic and i think the same trucks as well(MR.LI 180 it says on it).

**Alpha06** · 04-15-2010 08:30 PM

I'm pretty sure that CF is fake sticker/vinyl

But apparently the decks ride ok.

**Vita Activa** · 04-15-2010 09:32 PM

I only got into longboarding last year in VANCOUVER. I didn't know if i will stick with it so I bought one of those knock offs online - the vanguard to be precise. Same shitty Typhoon wheels and trucks. The deck is REALLY flexy. I think they skipped on the fiberglassing. It's still made of bamboo and it has served me well. I have gone down many hills. If you are a first time buyer them I recomend you don't make a large investment incase you don't stick with it. But if you are somewhat experienced and know what you want save up for the good stuff.

Cheer,
VA

go to ebay search longboard. look for the same pics that are posted on top of this page.

Yeah I saw... he doesn't know jack about longboards, so there's no doubt for me that he didn't make them himself. Terrible presentation, but I can't judge the quality of the product on that. If they are knock-offs, I don't really see the issue. If it was a larger or better known company like Earthwing, then yeah I see that as a problem. Buying knock-off boards is just like downloading ripped movies. my 2c
