Longboard Review How long have you ridden the board: a few monthsWhat is your setup like?: R-11 180s, 76mm/81a gumballs, bones reds Typical Session Discipline: cruising/carving/mild downhill How much did you pay?: 150 Where did you purchase it?: muir What were the strengths of the deck.: great flex makes pumping really easy with the proper truck setup. love the ambidexterous (sp?) design. light weight. looks beautiful. What were the weaknesses?: a bit unstable due to height off the ground. also, this makes distance riding a bit rough. wheel base was a little longer than i realized it to be which makes it a little harder to slide. Similar decks you have ridden?: loaded dervish Would you recommend it?: Yes skating on ice, Saturday, 19 July 2008

What were the weaknesses?: flexibility makes it a little rough to ride at speed, not enough to pump in and out of carves effeciently, clear tape doesnt have much grip for very long, truck location in rear could be a little further towards tip of tail Similar decks you have ridden?: a whole bunch of 9s Would you recommend it?: Yes great stock trucks, Thursday, 22 May 2008
