Newsflash

Chris Chaput's just released some insight to where his Abec 11 and Retro wheel lines are going for 2010. Yep, that's a green FreeRide you're seeing and not a Striker.

In fact, Strikers just became "rare and collectible" for the eBay crowd. Click the pic to jump over and get the inside line, only on the 'Fish.

This board is by far the most underrated speedboard on the market. It's surpassed all of my expectations. However (for me) there was a huge learning curve. My riding style changed drastically, and for the better if i do say so myself. I changed from a brazilian tuck to a euro/american mix and the smoothcut has allowed me to learn to drift with precision. Pick it up if your a fan of drop through

Longboard Review

How long have you ridden the board: 3 months
What is your setup like?: Flipped grizzlies, venom barrels/stock pumpkins, swiss labyrinth bearings, 83mmflys/81mm s9 rf75mm inheats
Typical Session Discipline: DH, Drifting, slides
How much did you pay?: $380
Where did you purchase it?: TLS
What were the strengths of the deck.: Super versatile! With the grizzlies all you have to do is change bushing setups and it will do what you want. A little dampening flex(180lbs), not so much of a concave but more like grip inducing edges(feels great)
Great construction. First day out i busted it into a curb at around 20 0r 25mph with only a small dnet to show for it.
What were the weaknesses?: ummmm i guess it doesnt fit my crails through the drop mounting. No big deal
Similar decks you have ridden?: s9 Kommi
