Longboard Review
How long have you ridden the board: about a year
What is your setup like?: Paris 180s with venom eliminator 90a, abec11 noskools, and dbs abec 7 bearings
Typical Session Discipline: cruising, downhill carving, slidding
How much did you pay?: $100
Where did you purchase it?: got it from my friend
What were the strengths of the deck.: ultra-light weight and I highly recommend getting one flex stiffer than what you would need because it will provide you the same carving and pumpability with far more stability. this board takes a real beating
What were the weaknesses?: as can be expected, the clear grip wears away really quick so definitely have sheet of grip on hand or you can throw some vicious grip on there when you get the thing and never have to worry about grip again ;D.
Similar decks you have ridden?: loaded dervish, Original custom 35 and apex 37
Would you recommend it?: Yes
