They are pretty fun for any sliding you can do. The tang ones are better though, not too much but still better

This is an amazing board. There is nothing that can't be done on it. You can slide, dance, carve hard, pump, commute, and even bomb decently well! words can't describe it just go out and ride one and you will see. It's magic!
Longboard Review
How long have you ridden the board: 4 months of hard riding
What is your setup like?: I have had 4presidents, zigzags, and gumballs on it with Paris 180's and venom super carves
Typical Session Discipline: dancing and freeride
How much did you pay?: 250 for the deck,
Where did you purchase it?: texaslongboards.com
What were the strengths of the deck.: The nose and tail kicks make manualing and shove its a breeze, the flat deck makes dancing nice, the flex isn't really noticeable but it makes the ride uber smooht and comfortable. It is a dream to board walk on in everyway imaginable.
What were the weaknesses?: It could use some minor concave to lock your feet in when you do slides and such. Plus its kinda heavy to carry aroudn
Similar decks you have ridden?: LBL Old School Dancer(wood and bamboo) but they don't compare
Would you recommend it?: Yes

so i would say its pretty nice, no cracks or anything yet to this point. Nice mellow cruiser board, and can pull some nice board walking. ITS WAY TOO STIFF!!! im 150-155 ish and it barely budges underneath me. I would recomend either the bamboo version or the loaded dancer. They are more fun and lively plus lighter hahahaha but its still a nice board, just there are better things out there. I replaced mine with a loaded dancer and it is sooooooooo good!!!
