Goods-
I have Lush V1, Motion (yellow) , Loaded(Orange), and a few home-made specials.
The Lush palm puck slides farther and smoother than Motion or Loaded (IMO) so if you want to do longer slides, this is the glove. Just don't overslide and fall under a bus.

The Lush palm puck is also huge and flat so once it's on the pavement, it's locked in. You'll get less glove bite than with cheaper gloves with rounded pucks.

Easier to put on and take off. You don't need that huge velcro strap that other gloves have. I mean.... people have been using gardening gloves forever and they don't exactly fly off your hand at the first sign of anything.

Could be betters-
The pucks are really thin so they can tend to suck on REALLY crappy pavement, but sliding on that crap sucks anyways.

I wish they had the foam wrist guard that Loaded has but I'll still probably be buying V4 Lush as my next glove anyway.

IMPORTANT! - My ratings are versus ALL longboards. If I was rating only on pintails, I'd give ALL 5's across the board because this board is FRESH!
Great for any discipline. I'd call it a starter deck but I bought it in my 4th year of longboarding and really enjoyed it.
If you're just starting and you love pumping around, It's perfect.
Virtually indestructible. If you can only afford ONE board, This will get you through college. (and at that price, you could get two!)
I met a man in Japan who swears by the Bigfish.
"What other board would I use to carve down Mount Fuji?"
Longboard Review
How long have you ridden the board: 1 year
What is your setup like?: HoneyComb core version of Bigfish

180mm Crail speed trucks with orange 70mm 78A Madrid center wheels(IMO Best gummy wheel ever).

Switch up with Abec11 98A No Skoolz for sick slides

Typical Session Discipline: Carving + Sliding + Around town
How much did you pay?: Complete price
Where did you purchase it?: Motionlongboards.com
What were the strengths of the deck.: It's ultra tough. Honeycomb core makes it impossible to delaminate.
Small and light. Great for girls or guys.
Decent flex for mid-speed carving. Very lively. Gives the old "bend and snap" a new meaning.;)
Flexy, yet perfectly stable at downhill speed.
So pretty. The graphics are amazing protected by scratch resistant clear coat.

What were the weaknesses?: Not quite enough flex for my carving skill/body weight.
I weigh 150 lbs. and 6' tall.
As with most pintails, wheel size and looseness of trucks are limited because there are no cutouts.

Similar decks you have ridden?: Sectornine SurfCamp (Same dimensions but bamboo)
Whole plethora of pintails

Would you recommend it?: Yes
