Typical Session Discipline: messing around parking lots and such
How much did you pay?: nothing at all
What were the strengths of the deck.: the unique feel of the rocker and convex
What were the weaknesses?: the convex gives no facking leverage, so you have to run your trucks almost sloppy loose

the black hangers look cool and all (you know its true) but they kinda stick in the pivot when turning. its noticable when youre riding soft bushings. plus, they come with hardware, huzzah!

glorious deck minus the insta-death up front when you ride too low/loose. if you can find one, get it... no, really, i just gave you permission to get another deck.

these arent one of those wheels where you go, "oh holy shizzle, i's gots to get me some of these". they go fast, decent grip, decent slip and grip characteristics. good dh wheel, but there are better specialized wheels for different courses out there.
Equipment Reviews
How long have you ridden them?: i wanna say two year, but i have no idea really
What Setup are you running them on?: they were on a smoothcut, flushcut, an evo, and s9 43 race
Typical Discepline?: dh
What are their weaknesses?: massive hub=chattery ride on less than ideal pavement.
What are their strengths?: the contact patch is within the width of the hub, and since it double radiused, i can slide these fairly easily with a predictable hookup.
Would you recommend them?: Yes

this deck is pretty flexy. so you either have to love flex or youre just really light and looking for a deck that has a decent flex at your weight. also, the mounts in the rear are far apart to make this a sixpack without redrilling!
