Equipment Reviews How long have you ridden them?: 7 monthsWhat Setup are you running them on?: Landyachtz Wedge Flex, 72mm Sector 9s, Speed Metal Abec 7. Typical Discepline?: Ditch, cruising, bombing How much did you pay for them?: 50 Where did you buy them?: Daddies Board Shop What are their weaknesses?: They lock too quickly, they are way too tall, they are not as turny as Paris can get, they are hella unstable after 30, and they CANNOT Be worked on. And they scrape hard when you drag them. What are their strengths?: They turn, kinda, and look pretty. What similar equipment have you ridden?: Randal 180 Paris 180 Bear 852 Would you recommend them?: No Whole New Game, Thursday, 28 February 2008
Equipment Reviews How long have you ridden them?: 5 monthsWhat Setup are you running them on?: Loaded Vanguard, Black Panther Abec 7, Abec 11 Gumballs Typical Discepline?: Ditch, Cruising, bombing How much did you pay for them?: 45 Where did you buy them?: Daddies Board Shop What are their weaknesses?: These are hard to get tight enough for riders over 170 for them to be able to go over 35 safely. What are their strengths?: They turn better than the randalls, they are better looking, they fit better, they come with riser pads, they are cheaper and better than revenge, and they are way more stable than a randal with a similar bushing. What similar equipment have you ridden?: Randal r2 180's Bear 852's Revenge Alpha II's Gullwings Would you recommend them?: Yes A little surfer, Thursday, 28 February 2008
Longboard Review How long have you ridden the board: 5 monthsWhat is your setup like?: Randal 180's with modded bushings, 1/8 inch risers, Satori 76mm Northern lights, FKD Abec 7. Typical Session Discipline: Ditch, DH, Cruising How much did you pay?: 210 Where did you purchase it?: Daddies Board Shop What were the strengths of the deck.: It is not so flexy that it gets the loaded speed hops, but it can carve like a freak, and is extremely stable for a cruiser. It fits the surf ride well due to the increase in front end turning. It also gives larger riders a nice firm stance. And this board is easy to drag from the back What were the weaknesses?: It is a pintail, and it is a little more cambered than high end bombers, but as far as a longboard goes, it really has nothing terribly wrong with it. Similar decks you have ridden?: Gravity Carve Sector 9 bamboo Flexdex pro 40 Creation 40 Any 43 inch pintail is similar Would you recommend it?: Yes A fun spud, Thursday, 28 February 2008
Longboard Review How long have you ridden the board: 4 monthsWhat is your setup like?: Bear 852's with blue khiro bushings. swiss original, Satori 80mm Big Buds. Typical Session Discipline: Ditch, Cruising, DH How much did you pay?: 300-ish Where did you purchase it?: Koa Nalu Surf Shop What were the strengths of the deck.: For riders that are around 5'6" and shorter, it is comfortably stable for snything. For the larger riders, it can be made very agile quickly, it has a symmetrical, snowboard style feel, and is nice and comfy wide. Also, it is a drag board, and has a drop about half and inch higher than the dh race. What were the weaknesses?: Speedbumps can kill this thing. It is shorter than most drops and is uncomfortable for a race crouch if you are over 5'6", and it can wobble like hell if you try to use it and you are tall. It is a little odd in that it has no end changes, so it really holds equal turning and is not to comfy for those used to surf style Landyachtz. Similar decks you have ridden?: Landyachtz Evo- better for dh and surf style freeride LAndyachtz DH- thinner and longer, also lower, not as agile Would you recommend it?: Yes Results 6 - 9 of 9
