the boards are so ill once you learn to throw your weight around. the deck wants to be flat, so when you change your weight from rail to rail it snaps you in and out of turns. pumps sooo hard. i feel like i could pump through a cement wall. fast, smooth, quiet as it could possibly be and just a generally unreal board. i feel like people are tards who says flexdecks arent the best boards. like "dead flex". thats just silly.
Longboard Review
How long have you ridden the board: 3 monthes
What is your setup like?: The RT stock, Randal 180's, Biltins and flashbacks with a quarter inch of rise.
Typical Session Discipline: pumping, hill bombing and standup sliding
How much did you pay?: $291.00, picked up from the office/factory so no shipping charge
Where did you purchase it?: flexdex.com, but picked up from the shop with a grip of stickers
What were the strengths of the deck.: super stable, tons of pumping power (like pump as fast as i can push) holds mean turns, but can release the wheels into a slide no problem, can even ollie up curbs.
What were the weaknesses?: one of the heavier boards ive ever owned, but that doenst matter when its on the ground (where its suppose to be). just a super quick and powerful ride. cant really complain about anything.
Similar decks you have ridden?: um, i dont know if theres any in the ball park. have owned two s9 cosmics, but when i got onto a flexdex i was like holy crap, this is what a longboard is suppose to do. loaded vanguard flex 3 bamboo(thanks mike) was a super fun board but just doesnt feel like a solid board to me. too springy without the right response in the trucks. sick boards tho. if it wasnt for flexdex id be on a loaded.
Would you recommend it?: Yes
