    Default Germany Freeboard?

    I found this on EBay I know it may be a bit pricey for shipping but what a deal, is it legit? Or does it look like a cheap knockoff off some sort? It says its like 115cm which would be mega long considering a real freeboard is max 85cm or something? What do u think...

    it does look like a good deal but the wheels, (outside) look like kryptos and if they are they are pretty soft because the clear ones are like 78a if i remember correctly, and i think that would need to be replaced but otherwise it seems like a good deal, but i dot know much about freeboards to tell you the truth

    That looks like an original freebord to me. The first generation came in i think 110cm and 120com or 105 and 115, some **** like that. It looks authentic though, only the newer freebords measure 75-85 cm. And the trucks havent changed, so for that price i would buy it for sure, you could always just get a new deck from freebord if you prefer something shorter.

    Nope. Thats a legit Alpha 100.. I'd personally reccomend saving up and getting the new exponent series (like the 80 or the 85) but if you choose that, then that'll be fine.. Just a little less practical. The wheels will be fine, but if you want to upgrade or when those are worn down, get some 85mm 80a Kryptos and 72mm mac-oh-boy wheels in 88a

    the company selling them is called wavesports - since these are old stock, they no longer sell them in their shop, and are thus getting rid of them cheaply on ebay. theyve been selling off excess freebords for years now

    the wheels are fine to start off with - nice and grippy so you can learn to carve properly, and can control your speed. once you know how to ride confidently then its time to switch for some larger wheels (usually 67mm centres and 76/80mm krypto edges)
