Longboard Review

How long have you ridden the board: 1 year
What is your setup like?: Tracker darts 149, 70mm grippins 75a
Typical Session Discipline: dancing/boardwalking
How much did you pay?: around 145
Where did you purchase it?: Gravityboard.com
What were the strengths of the deck.: Feels very light for a 45" board. In my opinion, spoon nose is a great shape for boardwalking. With the right setup it can carve pretty well.
What were the weaknesses?: Make a spoon nose around 48-50"??? (like longboard larry). Slightly sluggish, but that's a tradeoff when your riding a bigger board
Similar decks you have ridden?: not at this point
Would you recommend it?: Yes

These definitely protect my bearings from some of the dirt and sand that I'm forced to go through when commuting. Help my bearings last longer for sure.

I doubt there are better bearings in the same price range as these. They ride better than ABEC rated bearings that I've paid 3x more for. I ride through a bunch of dirt and dust when commuting, and they continue to perform extremely well.
