Decent all around, doesn't really stand out at any one thing. Longboard Review How long have you ridden the board: 1 monthWhat is your setup like?: randal II 150's G&S 70mm 78a 1/8th" risers bearings unsure Typical Session Discipline: cruising, carving How much did you pay?: 150 Where did you purchase it?: DBS What were the strengths of the deck.: fairly stable at speed not that difficult to slide pre drilled for shortening wheelbase What were the weaknesses?: i should've put r 180's on instead of 150's grip tape rubs off every time you step on nose or tail to manual. lots of flex (i'm 175lbs). i can make the deck scrape ground easily, going straight. not a board i'd want to jump around on much. shortening wheelbase helped just slightly. Similar decks you have ridden?: arbor fish 38 Would you recommend it?: Undecided arbor fish w/ koi graphic, Friday, 10 October 2008
Longboard Review How long have you ridden the board: 1 monthWhat is your setup like?: randal II 150's 70mm 78a dano's (daddiesboardshop) DBS bearings (good value bearings, spin forever) no riser or shock pads Typical Session Discipline: cruising, carving, How much did you pay?: 160 shipped Where did you purchase it?: daddiesboardshop What were the strengths of the deck.: Some of its strenghts can be weaknesses Koa is beautiful, see weaknesses really stiff deck, very stable for beginners Respectably stable at speed the tail is easier to stand on than pointier pintails What were the weaknesses?: Koa is beautiful, i really hate to ride this thing and scuff up the koa, so i only use it for cruising, no tricking. zero flex Bottom graphic is chipping off pretty quickly i should've put 1/8th shock pads on, but its not bad to ride over rough surfaces Similar decks you have ridden?: G&S 44 pin killer little board, Friday, 10 October 2008
Longboard Review How long have you ridden the board: 1 weekWhat is your setup like?: 66mm 78a cadillac wheels abec 3 or 5 - cant remember invader 8" trucks Typical Session Discipline: cruising, tricks How much did you pay?: 103 shipped Where did you purchase it?: rampandrail.com What were the strengths of the deck.: Out of the box this thing turns circles in a 5 foot radius, yet feels stable at low to moderate speed. very flickable, dont have to lean to turn hard. kick tail and nose are very functionable. awesome deck design, cutouts could accomodate larger wheels. What were the weaknesses?: The bearings may have been sourced from wal mart. Reds in this thing could make it a little better for cruising. Similar decks you have ridden?: ancient powell 30" cruiser g&s 44" pintail 38" arbor pintail Would you recommend it?: Yes << Start < Prev 1 Next > End >> Results 1 - 3 of 3
