Since this was my first board I've waited until I had a good summers worth of skating on it before I wrote this review. I really like this board and setup. Two of my buddies I ride with always say how much they love my board. I did a lot of research before I bought it and am glad I got the exact setup I was after. It's pretty light too and you really feel like you're one with the board not like you're riding a dead plank of wood! I can pump it and drop off curbs with it do some downhill and it always does the job. Just a great all around board. It's a true road warrior and can take a licking. I thought I would get hooked on buying all kinds of boards but I really love this setup so much I'm completely satisfied!
Longboard Review
How long have you ridden the board: 5 months
What is your setup like?: 72mm Pink Powerballs, Indy 150's and angled risers on the front and back.
Typical Session Discipline: street/city commuting
How much did you pay?: about $180 Canadian for a complete
Where did you purchase it?: Flood Skateshop
What were the strengths of the deck.: Small enough to grab and go but large enough to be stable and still feels like a longboard. Really comfortable. The Idy trucks on the board make a really nice low profile which I find very nice. A few other boards I tried out with Randal 180's felt like I was really high up(not squeaky like Randals either!). I'm short as well (5'6") so I find there is less fatigue when I'm pushing because I don't have to bend my knee as low. Nice flex and concave too. feels just right!
What were the weaknesses?: Not too much. Maybe it feels a bit narrow at times and if I had big feet, which I don't, that could be a problem when pumping hard. I wouldn't mind a better graphic on the bottom. But I've learned to love the bad-ass black paint however it may not be for everyone.
Similar decks you have ridden?: Rayne Vice
Would you recommend it?: Yes
