I love this board. I originally bought it to try out topmount to see if it was for me. And I haven't looked back since. my other dh board has no seen a serious session since I got this board.

Thses wheels rule, they can do everything. They're on my downhill baby right now. and my friend has a set on his cruiser board, and a slalom board. They're just awesome wheels and grip like hell, especially with the 75a. I reccomend these wheels to anybody looking for some nice, fast, grippy wheels.

I got this board as my cruiser and communter for school. And it does that perfectly, it's really easy to carry and fits in my locker perfectly. If you're looking for a little campus cruiser definately check this out. The only real big problem is the paint job, it seems to chip pretty easily, kinda cheap. But oh well, this little thing rocks. But just don't take it up to pretty high speeds, I have personal experience with that and it's not fun. But hey it wasn't meant for downhill, so it does what it was designed to do perfectly.

I love this board, it is super stable and yet can still take turns very well. The moderate drop is great, and there is plenty of footroom.
