I've had some time to ride it and so I wrote a second review for the real experience. Second impressions...lets just say my friends call it sex on wheels.
Longboard Review
How long have you ridden the board: A month and a half now
What is your setup like?: I've just recently changed it to Abec 11 77mm 88a strikers with ballistech missile bearings on paris 180s
Typical Session Discipline: Bombing, carving, pumping and sliding
How much did you pay?: 300
Where did you purchase it?: Skyboardin'
What were the strengths of the deck.: This thing is stable. I took it down a hill just a few weeks ago and hit 45mph without a hint of wobble. It's also not a bad slider and it's a great carver. With this board you get flex and stability. Also it's really easy to push because it's so low.
What were the weaknesses?: It doesn't have a ton of clearance but that doesn't affect it all that much.
Similar decks you have ridden?: The vanguard is just as carvy but it tends to wobble down larger hills.
Would you recommend it?: Yes
Was this review helpful to you? yes     no

Longboard Review
How long have you ridden the board: I just got it a week ago
What is your setup like?: I'v got it with Paris 180 silvers, 76mm 81a Gumballs with ABEC 7 bearings with metal sheilds.
Typical Session Discipline: Sliding, Hill bombing, Carving
How much did you pay?: 300
Where did you purchase it?: Sky boards
What were the strengths of the deck.: It is a really stable deck when cranking it hard down hills and it never speed wobbles. It also has a ton of flex that gives it an amazing feel when carving. It's also good for sliding despite its flexiness. You do have to get used to the foot positions though. It's also a breeze to push.
What were the weaknesses?: The only thing I can think of is that it has a small chip out of it, but I imagine that was some how my fault...Ya probably
Similar decks you have ridden?: Nothing really except kind of the vanguard. They're very different but similar in the flex and carve.
Would you recommend it?: Yes
Was this review helpful to you? yes     no
