Is quickly turning into a nice go to board. Used mainly on streets for cruising, carving. Fits me a bit better than the 34.5" L x 11" W Quad. Just seems to be the sweet spot in the lineup. Sector 9s are OK and a nice size, plenty of room with the Revenge truck height, which is both good and bad. Dubzillas feel great on it, good match but they live on the 44" Super Pig. Could probably fit Gumballs/BigZigs and make a Cadillac Cruiser out of it. Am liking the feel of a more stable rear to make up for the quick pivot of the Revenge. Gives it that surfy feel, just a bit high though. An Original in front or all way around may solve that.
Haven't tried it yet but with a bit different setup, feel it would make a great park board. The tail is perfect and length is right there, not too long and still mangeble. Tooling around and using the tail doesn't feel like a long plank out there swinging away. All Around, a good solid board.
