Reviews written by cargolot Oversized Slalom Board, Tuesday, 08 January 2008
What does the best? : Moderate downhil gigantic slalom style; not much side-to side of the road like. Any place where you dont have to push much and can go reasonably fast; with a wide road. A little limited; but mega exciting when in right place. Longboard Review How long have you ridden the board: 10 years aproxWhat is your setup like?: Gullwing Streetshadow 150 front G-truck(seismic-like) 150 back. Kriptos; then grippins. Woow; great improvement for this board! Typical Session Discipline: Carving, carved downhil. How much did you pay?: About 120 euros. Where did you purchase it?: Tactic Shop In Barcelona What were the strengths of the deck.: Very lively; great energy return. What were the weaknesses?: Very slow turn when cruisin. Too high of the ground. I think the stock front g-trucks are bad (at least when I bought it) mine and my friend's got axle broken soon. Get any other better for your safety. Similar decks you have ridden?: Indiana chief 85 Loaded Vanguard Loaded Dervish Some other crappy styff. Would you recommend it?: Undecided Funny Fast Commuter and Nervous Exciting Carver, Tuesday, 08 January 2008
I can slalom pedestrians in barcelona then carve hills agressively; not witohout some risk and carving out velocity but with a lot of inmediate smiling. Also i'm shure it would be great with a seismic-like in the back; but not in mine because small seismics don't work with grippins and I love grippins in indianas. Longboard Review How long have you ridden the board: Half year, but other indianas for 10 years.What is your setup like?: 81a Grippins 106 RTX/S 11º soft risers (stable and no wheelbite) RnR Rockets Typical Session Discipline: Carving, sliding, city fast slalom commuting. How much did you pay?: Low Where did you purchase it?: A friend What were the strengths of the deck.: Lightweight; nervous; great energy return; great allaround hybrid between slalomboard and longboard. What were the weaknesses?: If you slide or whatever and try to ride tail front it changes the ride totally and don't works; but it's because of the wedged risers and it's expected. Maybe a little wider would be better; but don't miss it bacause of it. Also it makes it lighter; and maybe contributes to make it nervous as it is. Similar decks you have ridden?: Fibreflex Classic Slalom Flexdex Classic 29 Indiana 114 (the same but mega long) Loaded Vanguard Would you recommend it?: Yes << Start < Prev 1 Next > End >> Results 1 - 2 of 2
