This board is sick! I have four or five other boards of various lengths, styles, and types, but this is in a class all by itself. It's a blast to ride and once it starts rolling it goes forever. In fact, I don't think it takes any more energy to get from point A to point B than it does on any of my other boards. Maybe even less. I strongly recommend this board to anyone who wants to learn how to do dancing tricks, needs a board for distance riding, or wants to look like a total longboarding pimp for the chicas!
Longboard Review
How long have you ridden the board: One Week
What is your setup like?: ABEC 11, 97mm, 78a
Tracker 219mm Darts

Typical Session Discipline: Dancing
How much did you pay?: $320.00
Where did you purchase it?: JAM direct
What were the strengths of the deck.: Looks, style, rolling momentum, stability when doing dance tricks.
What were the weaknesses?: At 23lbs it's heavy. Similarly, it's difficult to transport and too big for in-town/traffic riding since it's 80". It's also a looooong way down when it's pushing time since the board and the custom risers are 17 ply EACH for a total of 34 ply PLUS the 97mm wheels from the ground.
Similar decks you have ridden?: A homemade waterski board. (Not even close so don't think you can strap a couple of trucks to a 2x4 for the same performance.)
Would you recommend it?: Yes
