Reviews written by grza Not Your Average Carving Board, Monday, 13 October 2008
Longboard Review How long have you ridden the board: 22 monthsWhat is your setup like?: Loaded Vanguard Flex 2 bamboo R-II trucks Rush abec 7 bearings Abec 11 Grippins Typical Session Discipline: Carving, flats, parking garages How much did you pay?: $218.00 Where did you purchase it?: Greg's Greenlake Cycle What were the strengths of the deck.: This board is very responsive and stable in low speeds. Its a perfect parking garage board because of its ability to translate how the surface feels and what your wheels and trucks are doing. The flex makes the deck seem alive when carving and allows for quick direction changes, needed for pedestrian slalom in downtown seattle. What were the weaknesses?: Definitely not a downhill board. While i have been towed into 40 on it, it was a harrowing experience, and not one i'm planning on repeating. Also, the deck loses it's arc after a while, so there's a slight decrease in flex. Similar decks you have ridden?: Loaded pintail, loaded vanguard, sector 9 bomb sketch, numerous homemade suicide sticks Would you recommend it?: Yes << Start < Prev 1 Next > End >> Results 1 - 1 of 1
