Longboard Review How long have you ridden the board: About seven monthsWhat is your setup like?: Indy 169s Bones hardcore, hard 1/4" soft riser 65mm 78a Superballs Some bearings Typical Session Discipline: Looking for trouble How much did you pay?: about $150 for everything Where did you purchase it?: From Brian What were the strengths of the deck.: Perfect shape/size for actual full-size people in need of a rowdy, versatile all-city deck. Can be set up as a cruiser, carver or general tool of mayhem. Solid EW construction. Piratical good looks never go out of style! What were the weaknesses?: I think it was designed around the 58mm Superballs, so to run larger wheels without a mountain of riser you'll need to sand in some wells. No biggie. Similar decks you have ridden?: Dogtown Matt Archbold? Funhouse Ticket Puncher? EW Mini? What's similar?!? Would you recommend it?: Yes Zero to Sixty?, Friday, 20 March 2009
Longboard Review How long have you ridden the board: Four monthsWhat is your setup like?: Randal 180 42* JimZ black, f/b 1/2" soft riser Ptang 4prez Biltins Edger & minilogo grip (Set-up works well on this deck, but I may eventually go to 66mm wheels and lose some riser....) Typical Session Discipline: DH 101 How much did you pay?: $130 + shipping (standard non-custom) Where did you purchase it?: From Roggs What were the strengths of the deck.: Solid construction, gorgeous and functional shape/finish. Rides like a nimble tank--just a tiny, tiny hint of (mostly torsional) flex under my 190+ pounds (using the shorter wheel-base) to make it forgiving on sh1t roads and a blast to carve (or even pump), but still predictable/firm when sliding. Bombs on rails. Mellow rocker and deep concave locks you in very securely and comfortably. What were the weaknesses?: A little heavier than some of the composite decks in the same price range. Similar decks you have ridden?: None Would you recommend it?: Yes << Start < Prev 1 Next > End >> Results 1 - 2 of 2
