Reviews written by jcbee3 Pin F***kin Tail, Thursday, 15 February 2007 Longboard Review How long have you ridden the board: 8 monthsWhat is your setup like?: 150 Randals, Red 66mm Zig Zags Typical Session Discipline: Downhill Carving What were the strengths of the deck.: Maneuverability. Great snap out of each turn. The sharpish edges help you grip the board when you are turning hard. Camber and concave are just right. What were the weaknesses?: The sand grip setup in theory is a good idea, but is wearing quickly. I wouldn't care not seeing the bamboo top sheet covered in a grip that lasts. Similar decks you have ridden?: Loaded Vanguard Would you recommend it?: Yes Original Custom 45, Thursday, 15 February 2007 Longboard Review How long have you ridden the board: 1 yearWhat is your setup like?: As recommended with the S-10 Truck. Has had 70mm Kryptonics on it mostly. Typical Session Discipline: Downhill Carving How much did you pay?: $150 without wheels Where did you purchase it?: Original What were the strengths of the deck.: Turns like mad. I like the shape of the deck for the front foot. What were the weaknesses?: I wish the rear was wider for the rear foot. Not crazy about the graphics, liked the older flower graphic better. Deck really is nothing special, wish it was flexier. Trucks can easily overwhelm what the wheels can grip. Back slides a lot. Similar decks you have ridden?: Lush Samba Would you recommend it?: Undecided Lush Samba 41, Thursday, 15 February 2007 Longboard Review How long have you ridden the board: 1 month. Did 15 miles downhill nonstop the other day.What is your setup like?: As recommended with the Seismics and white springs. It's had 81 Grippins on it mostly. Typical Session Discipline: Downhil Caving How much did you pay?: $100 for the deck, already had trucks and wheels Where did you purchase it?: Geoskates What were the strengths of the deck.: I love the concave of the front foot area. Good size and shape. The thing does turn,though I don't know if I'm a real fan of the way the Seismics feel compared to a bushing truck. Great graphics. What were the weaknesses?: I don't like the extra kicktail area since I never use one. Rear truck is drilled right in the bend of the tails' angled area, and required 2 soft risers to mount the truck over this bend. Not very flexy. Similar decks you have ridden?: Original Custom 45 Would you recommend it?: Yes << Start < Prev 1 Next > End >> Results 1 - 3 of 3 |
