    Default Defending GromBiz's c11 Scriber

    For all the haters...

    Okay so I've had this board for about 5 months or so now. At first it was really difficult trying to even balance on the board but once you understand the fundamentals of the board, and you learn how to use it to your advantage, it's a Godsend!

    The stock tar wheels, admittedly, suck. I swapped my front wheels with a buddy and immediately noticed a difference in the board's performance. I had gotten used to pushing my way across a quarter mile at my college to get to class so much that with the new wheels I'm flying down the stretch. It's incredible.

    I really recommend this board if you're up for the challenge. It has a lot of potential if you're willing to mix and match with the settings.

    I'm riding 20 degrees in the front and zero in the back, with one bushing in the rear as well. It carves like no other. It can bomb pretty well too. BEWARE though ha. My first time down a hill was probably the biggest hill I could've found back in el paso, and I paid the price with speed wobbles.

    Nonetheless, go out and support GromBiz guys. It's soooo worth it. If you can try the c2, however I don't think he's getting them shipped to the US til November.

    Happy longboardin!

    I have personally watched my friends bomb a hill, get speed wobbles and eat ####.
    To top it off after he got up he inspectedd his board and his front truck was broke where it attached to the baseplate. Not very good quality, but the options of changing the degrees are awesome. I would have got these but I just happened to be watching all that go down.
    She broke my heart........so I broke her jaw.

    Were they experienced on the board? Ha cuz I've gone down some pretty steep hills lately and I do em no problem. What about bushings? It's a bitch trying to be a badass and ride without em haha. Thats how I was at first thinking I'd get used to it but it's totally not worth it. And did he at least have the settings right? I admittedly got the wobs pretty bad when I first started riding but now it's like second nature to balance on the damn thing. It's great. However the c2 is supposed to be a lot more stable, and be a much better ride. I'm definitely gonna check it out.

    He clipped a road reflector with his trucks and it broke and he ate #### hard.
    He is experienced, I have been riding with him for awhile now.
    They are setup with the bushings and they were in the Dh specified settings.
    So I dont really see why he ate it besides the reflector, we were only going around 45mph.
    I guess reflector are merciless at that speed.

    Yeah, it totally molested him.
    I think he now knows why I dont go near the reflectors.
