Then people who owned the deck started posting their impressions and that turned the tide of opinion. Now a lot of people have it and they love it, myself included.

Anyway, I would personally go for the nemesis. It is my favorite board out of any I have ever ridden. I have a friend who is 6'4" 200 lbs who can ride it no problem.

The switch looks cool, but like has been said before, it is too new to get solid information on it. If you're feeling brave go for the switch without the reviews. That is what I did with the nemesis and I've never looked back.
Any update on the flush mount question if i buy a nemisis over the next couple of months?....the Rayne site still says flush? thanx, rich

The new Nemes aren't flyshmounts. They haven't been since the 1st gen.

The people who are saying the Neme's platform is too small must have huge tucks. My back foot is 2-3" from the bend in tuck and I'm 6'3" and 175lbs.

-Abuse Foamcore -- 50*/35* 1st Gen Cindrich -- new Obombers
-Clutch Deeznutz -- 52*/36* Spencer Smiths -- old Obombers
-Glyde Exos -- Hybrid 66s -- Fireball Beasts
