Reviews written by cjbliss Awesome board for experienced riders, Tuesday, 21 October 2008
Longboard Review How long have you ridden the board: 6 monthsWhat is your setup like?: Randals with 35* boaseplates, karrot bushings, BigZigz Typical Session Discipline: Speedboarding, fast cruising, freestyle How much did you pay?: 150 Where did you purchase it?: daddies What were the strengths of the deck.: Kebbek boards are tanks! Best construction and durability you can get with a wood deck. Moderately stable and very maneuverable especially with speed. Feels very solid under my feet and gives me that "locked in" feeling, What were the weaknesses?: Stability becomes an issue after about 50 mph especially with non-DH tuned trucks. As with any wood (or any board at all) it is beneficial to put some sort of bumper on the nose and tail so not to chip off pieces. Also due to the nose wedging it can't be ridden backwards well. Similar decks you have ridden?: none ... yet Would you recommend it?: Yes Super nice traction, Saturday, 02 August 2008
Equipment Reviews How long have you ridden them?: 4 daysWhat Setup are you running them on?: Kebbek Jon Caften, the old randals with karrot bushings, rock'n ron stage two's Typical Discepline?: Downhill How much did you pay for them?: $76 Where did you buy them?: Daddies What are their weaknesses?: Super chattery, In an attempt to see how they would take to a pendy they chattered to the point to make my feet slide across the board so i eventually came to a stop with my ankles on the deck. In addition that pendy seemed to take a bit of material off the lip of the wheels on the toe side What are their strengths?: Pretty fast and super sticky! They don't drift well but they stick well enough that it really isn't a problem if you can adapt your riding style to them. They require a bit of accuracy through turns, if you don't distribute your weight right they scuff off more speed then other wheels but when you get the turn good the rebound off of them is incredible. What similar equipment have you ridden?: alligators and big zigs, also have ridden flywheels, flashbacks, fu manchus, and some sector 9 wheels Would you recommend them?: Yes Great Board, Monday, 15 October 2007
