I recommend this board for having the most fun. Okay so there are better downhill boards. Those landyachtz evos can't carve nearly as well as any of the loaded boards, especially the dervish. I bought it with quite a portion of my money, (I'm only a kid). I know it is very expensive, but just keep an eye on those craigslist listings for your area. They are so much cheaper...!!! If you get bored of that though, I'd buy it from stokedskateboards.com. Overall, probably the best longboard yet.
Longboard Review
How long have you ridden the board: about 2 and a half weeks
What is your setup like?: Well, since I only bought the deck, I took the components off my old sector nine and put them on (randal 150s and krypto's). Working on getting randal 180 and gumballs.
Typical Session Discipline: Sliding, downhill, carving
How much did you pay?: $100 for deck only
Where did you purchase it?: craigslist =)
What were the strengths of the deck.: This board is probably the most responsive I've ever ridden. Loaded is like no other. Stays very stable, I've gone 25 or so (I'm kinda scared) and I've never had problems with stability.
What were the weaknesses?: Only the look... but, with griptape, you can make it look pretty cool.
Similar decks you have ridden?: Loaded Vanguard, Sector nine bamboo
Would you recommend it?: Yes
Was this review helpful to you? yes     no

Honestly, I'm selling my other cruising board because this one rides so nice.
Longboard Review
How long have you ridden the board: About a week now
What is your setup like?: Randal 180s black, Khiro barrel bushings, Otang (in heats, Luckys
Typical Session Discipline: Carving/Cruising
How much did you pay?: $284.00 w/ tax (had Jim-Z whites that I threw on my DH though)
Where did you purchase it?: Mojos Skate Shop, Tallahasse Fl
What were the strengths of the deck.: Very flexable with an awesomely smooth ride. For anything other than hardcore downhill (which isn't near within easy walking distance of me anyways) it kicks ass. Probably one of the ultimate campus riding boards.
What were the weaknesses?: erm... Not super stable at high speeds (which is to be expected).. and the graphic is kinda sub-par (but this is just my opinion).
Similar decks you have ridden?: NS Eclipse, Loaded Vanguard, Gravity of some type (they stopped making these and I cant remember the name, it was a friend's)
Would you recommend it?: Yes
Was this review helpful to you? yes     no

Absolutely incredible. Wouldn't recommend it for a beginner, as it is a complex ride, but it is incredible. Very versatile. If I wanna get aggressive, I go and bomb a huge hill, and it rides great. If I just wanna chill, I go and cruise, and it feels like sex. Garages, Hills, flatland, hell even uphill is enjoyable on this thing.

Typical Session Discipline: Downhill and Carving
