Longboard Review How long have you ridden the board: not long enough.What is your setup like?: Tracker mini 85mm trucks, blue doh-doh bushings, orange zigzags, stock bearings, hard risers Typical Session Discipline: on the dinghy, its party time. parks, ped slalom, urban cruising How much did you pay?: traded a fish for the dinghy and a dervish Where did you purchase it?: my buddy What were the strengths of the deck.: agile as a gazelle. its so light and small that for shuvits and pivots and stuff like that you can just throw it around. i actually learned to g-turn on this bad boy. the gnarly concave grips your feet like a vice and the deck looks absolutely SICK!!!!! the kicktail is perfect for those sessions in the park or just around town. great for the big manuals. What were the weaknesses?: doesnt absorb any imperfections in the road. DONT RIDE IT WITH BROKEN TOES!!!!!! loses stability easily but that's easy to correct. Similar decks you have ridden?: LBL coho, humu, various oldschool decks. Would you recommend it?: Yes nothing like it, Wednesday, 24 June 2009
Longboard Review How long have you ridden the board: 9 monthsWhat is your setup like?: Bear 1040s (black jimZ) switch back and forth between flipped and unflipped hangers, 90mm 81a flywheels, 10mm bear bearings. Typical Session Discipline: downhill, sliding How much did you pay?: 150 even for deck, traded randall 180s and flip bearings for bear trucks and bearings, $30 for flys (used) Where did you purchase it?: onesix boardshop What were the strengths of the deck.: The chinook is built like a brick. I've had a few hard crashes on it and the thing is solid. The rake kicks everybody in the face by making tucking sooooooooo comfy. slides like a beast and is super fun to corner on. What were the weaknesses?: I'm actually on my second deck because the first one delaminated in about two months. luckily, LY replaced it for free ;). Similar decks you have ridden?: The rake makes this mofo unique. the closest one to it is an evo, but its still so far away. Would you recommend it?: Yes << Start < Prev 1 Next > End >> Results 1 - 2 of 2
