Not a bad board at all, but I feel as if there are better out there. If you can get your hands on just the deck then you're in business because the deck is great.

Like I said above, this board is the ultimate small commuter. You can run big wheels on it and still be able to put it in your backpack. Also, it carves quite nicely and holds its own at slalom if you want to. I suggest it for carvy cruisy goodness!
Longboard Review
How long have you ridden the board: A few months.
What is your setup like?: The one I rode was Randal 150's with Ruby Randals all around except for 1 Yellow Randal up front, Orangatang 4President
Typical Session Discipline: Commuting, Carving, Pumping
How much did you pay?: Nothing
Where did you purchase it?: My friend got it straight from Legendary
What were the strengths of the deck.: The ability to run big wheels on a small board is really enticing for campus cruising. It also pumps pretty well although I might run Bennett 6.0's on it instead of Randals.
What were the weaknesses?: Nothing really if you don't mind a small footspace.
Similar decks you have ridden?: Arcane Mini, Ladera Purple Heart, Arbor Mini, Sector 9 Mini
Would you recommend it?: Yes

I would've gotten Zig Zags but I got a really good deal on these. As I get better at slaloming I'll probably switch to 86A/83A Zig Zags but these are definitely good for slaloming.

These wheels fit everything I need them for. Like I said above, sidewalks are no problem for these wheels. I definitely plan on getting these again, but probably 83A. I highly highly suggest them.
Equipment Reviews
How long have you ridden them?: A few months.
What Setup are you running them on?: Insect Mosquito
Typical Discepline?: Commuting, Pumping, Garage Bombing, light Downhill
How much did you pay for them?: $54
Where did you buy them?: Mile High Skates
What are their weaknesses?: They wear pretty easily but they're wheels, what do you expect.
What are their strengths?: They eat up the sidewalk like it's dinner time, they grip super well for pumping, but at the same time they drift at speed and slide quite well for huge square edged pieces of urethane.
What similar equipment have you ridden?: Big Zigs
Would you recommend them?: Yes

I'm sold on these bearings. I absolutely abuse my board. I ride it through all sorts of water, dust, muddy conditions, you name it. I commute it multiple miles a day through rain or shine. For the first time since I got them I went to clean them today. I was spinning the wheels on my axles and one of them was kind of stopping. I went to go and clean them and only 3 out of the 8 needed to be cleaned. One of them was completely locked up and the rest just needed lube. I cleaned them up and lubed them up and they're just as good as new.

The ease of use makes it so I probably won't use any other bearings ever again.
Equipment Reviews

What Setup are you running them on?: I'm running them in my Orangatang InHeats and 4Presidents.
Typical Discepline?: Slalom, cruising, shutdown sliding, drifting, abusing them.
How much did you pay for them?: $30
Where did you buy them?: DBS, Legendary
What are their weaknesses?: Nothing at all really.
What are their strengths?: The ease of use is awesome because I don't need to worry about spacers and speed rings. They're also really really to clean.
What similar equipment have you ridden?: Speedy Lunatics, Reds
Would you recommend them?: Yes
