Longboard Review How long have you ridden the board: xWhat is your setup like?: x Typical Session Discipline: x What were the strengths of the deck.: x What were the weaknesses?: x Would you recommend it?: Yes FibreFlex Kicktail, Friday, 22 June 2007
i've never ridden a deck this capable for all- around riding. it's flexy enough to pump, carve and cruise around on, but stiff enough for bombing even faster hills or some sliding, even responsive enough for ollies, and boneless ones. if you like to ride one board, all the time, this is it. Longboard Review How long have you ridden the board: about 6 monthsWhat is your setup like?: tracker rt's x/s 139mm, abec 11 noskoolz 65mm/88a, black/hard khiro, white/ hard bones hardcore bushings, 1/4 inch riser, powell nose bone, tail bone Typical Session Discipline: street riding, sliding, parking garages How much did you pay?: 115 ? Where did you purchase it?: concretewave.de What were the strengths of the deck.: great flex- although others say it's stiff, this deck has noticeable, but rigid, springy flex under my 160 lbs, is highly pumpable, it feels 'alive' underfootstiff kicktail- unlike you would expect, the square kicktail is fully functional and extra tough, manuals, kickturns and ollies are a breeze and feel perfectly controlledgreat shape- this deck is shaped just like a skateboard, even a big one, should be, it's nice and narrow at the tail, but widens at the front where you need a little extra width for better control at speedconcave- just the right amount of it, nice pocket behind the front truck for diggin' in in deep turns, almost flat and comfortable in the back where you stand for cruisingadjustable wheel base- longer for more stability downhill, or shorter for a more nimble ride on the sidewalk What were the weaknesses?: no wheel wells- which forces you to add a lot of riser if you want to ride wheels bigger than 70mmi sometimes wish the kicktail was a bit steeper, and shorter, for more leverage/ lift Similar decks you have ridden?: sector9 cloud nine 44''sector9 og cloud nine 46''g&s double kick longboard ca. 2000 Would you recommend it?: Yes << Start < Prev 1 Next > End >> Results 1 - 2 of 2
