Its really nice to see the quality construction at a good price. With hardware and risers included it makes for a good deal. Can't wait for the wider models to arrive.
Equipment Reviews
How long have you ridden them?: Been Ridin' them four a couple weeks now
What Setup are you running them on?: Loaded flex 3 pintail and fiberflex pintail 38
Typical Discepline?: cruising
How much did you pay for them?: $52 a pair
Where did you buy them?: Ridin' High Longboard Skate Shop Burlington Vermont
What are their weaknesses?: Haven't been able to test them at speeds yet cause I like a 180 on my downhill whip. The raised engraved name gets in the way of tightening down mounting hardware when using the included washers on top of the deck, it would be nice if two washers were included per bolt. When mounting larger wheels larger riser options would be beneficial as well as wedge risers.
What are their strengths?: The quality control seems to be high and the stock bushings are of good quality when compared to other similarily priced trucks. The flipable hanger helps fine tune turning degree and versatility from stable or loose. So far excellent performance and a smoothe ride.
What similar equipment have you ridden?: Randal, Exkate, Revenge, Original, Smokeys, Baku
Would you recommend them?: Yes

They are fast, faster than swiss i'm not sure but glad to find something comparable, I'd need to set up two identicle boards to really test them but getting higher in the cradle at Skatopia than I had ever been.

Had the original demo board in our fleet for months, most people who demo this board would return it complaining of squirliness. When you apply pressure to the rail it immediately slams to the bottom, perhaps it was a super flexable deck combination but the first person interested in the board, I sold it to cheap. He came back the next day with a broken truck... I fely bad so sold him a set of Randalls at cost and the board had a much more predictable ride after that. Original continued to send me a bill for the demo board but never responded to my calls letting them know I did not want their product and to send a call tag and pick it up. I highly reccomend using a different truck and would only send an exgirlfriend down a hill on these.
