probably one of the sickest boards i've ridden, Saturday, 19 July 2008 Written by vertigonoirxvii - View all my reviews - Top 1000 Reviewer
Longboard Review How long have you ridden the board: probly about 2 weeks or soWhat is your setup like?: 28" bamboo humu with 85mm trackers with orange khiro barrel bottoms and blue khiro tops. 66m orange zig zags and black panther abec7s with spacers. khiro angled rail risers. Typical Session Discipline: cruising, freeride, mild downhill How much did you pay?: only 160 which is pretty awesome for a complete custom. Where did you purchase it?: larry himself. What were the strengths of the deck.: super agile with the setup i currently have. (i had 60mm 88a NoSkoolz on it but those were horrible in my opinion) with the zigs it just felt right. turns on a dime, and pumpable. pretty damn stable at speed for such a mini, even with loose trucks. larry's craftsmanship is amazing. What were the weaknesses?: its beautiful. a weakness because its hard seeing it get thrashed. other than that it just took a really long time to arrive (4 weeks) and it was torture. but larry made 3 versions of my board the first two of which cracked when they were tested. third one was a charm. Similar decks you have ridden?: first mini ive ever ridden and i think it will be my only one. Would you recommend it?: Yes

bamboo humu, Tuesday, 16 October 2007 Written by buffalo dave
Longboard Review How long have you ridden the board: 4 monthsWhat is your setup like?: First bamboo 22" HUMU Tracker midtrack 85mm trucks, Abec 5 bearings, steel spacers, Abec 11 bertz wheels, 1/4" risers. Typical Session Discipline: any trip involving any pumping at all How much did you pay?: ~$130 Where did you purchase it?: from larry's workshop! (i'm in portland, he's in salem) What were the strengths of the deck.: This board is so tight and yet very stable. Since I just started skating again, I can carve a lot of hills that I wouldn't try on my 43" Zion cruiser from Eastside Longboards (PDX woot!) Then again, I haven't tried it in parking garages yet. What were the weaknesses?: The first version of this deck cracked to the left of the front truck. I called Larry up and I had a new one in less than a week! He is very nice and his boards have a great guarantee. Similar decks you have ridden?: The OG birch model that Billy the Kid rides. It feels a little more stable but that might be because the tunnel rocks are wider than the bertz. The bamboo HUMU is significantly lighter and has just a smidge more flex than the birch HUMU. Would you recommend it?: Yes
