Legendary Gnome versus Faltown eco-carve 4.2

**jimmmster2112** · 06-15-2009 02:54 PM

Hiya everybody.

I'm looking for a new board and it's come down to these two. Deck only. I already have trucks and wheels (don't ask which ones I have no idea what they are) so I just wanted to know which is the most fun in general.

One main factor for me is carving hills.

Thanks guys,
Jimmy

if you don't know what kind of trucks and wheels you have they're probably pieces of ####.

post pics of em and we'll tell you what you have. A good deck is nothing if you put crap hardware on it.

I don't know much about the faltown board, but the gnome is nice.

Attempt to enjoy your new board. get some bones reds to help it roll better.

I already have a set of Bones Ceramics Super Redz. And I've already tried my mates one and loved how it felt riding it. And just because it doesn't cost me $300 doesn't mean I won't enjoy riding it. All i want it for is to skate down a couple of hills and do a little commuting/carving. I don't like the feel of mini's so this seemed like a good option to me.

Bones Ceramics Super Redz is a product that does not exist. There are Bones Ceramics, Bones Super Swiss Six (Bones Supers, or Bones 6s), and Bones Redz. Pick one.

And have fun riding your board, but there's a bunch of AMAZING boards out there waiting for you to try them.

Super Reds and Ceramic Reds will be released very soon.

Welll... I do think the Gnome is pretty awsome..... but from what ive seen on this site the owner is a huge tool. So Flatown Eco-Carve all the way!

its bad practice to buy from douchebags.

I dont mean to bicker but i dont know him... i just saw him hopping onto small companies threads trying to promote his own boards and inadvertently bashing theirs. Some people think thats a d-bag move, im just sayin....

that whole promoting his company in someones thread was a silverfish user im pretty sure. i dont really care. but now that hes gone, everyone has started saying stuff and it just gets annoying. i understand your point of view though.

Naw your right, and to be fair the Legendary Gnome is a dope board, and i would get that over the Faltown any day.
