Reviews written by Roysan A board thats alive, Friday, 06 April 2007
Longboard Review How long have you ridden the board: 2 monthsWhat is your setup like?: vanguard flex 2, Abec 11 pink gumballs, bones swiss super 6, 180mm randalls Typical Session Discipline: downhill, carving, dancing, and cruising How much did you pay?: $300 and then $50 for bearing upgrade Where did you purchase it?: Black Diamond Sports What were the strengths of the deck.: just an all around fun board. compared to other boards a loaded vanguard just feels like it's "alive". it turns like a beast. If you load the deck in a turn(with your weight) it will snap the back board back. Its very stable at speed, which suprised me since the setup standing still feels very wobbly. i can't see it ever breaking unless you take a saw to it. (i've heard stories of vanguards getting run over and being perfectly fine. on top of that loaded replaces any cracked decks...lifetime guarantee) What were the weaknesses?: haven't found many...the randall trucks are squeaky and I gave it a 4 for constuction because the grip does wear out. right now the grip is still completly fine but compared to when the grip was new...it saddens me Similar decks you have ridden?: none Would you recommend it?: Yes << Start < Prev 1 Next > End >> Results 1 - 1 of 1
