flipping the hanger did not do much for stability, just increased turning radius a little. grease in the pivot cup helps creaking. these are perfect for a dropped deck carving board like dervish or the heist.

to push really effectively, place front foot right behind the front truck. it is easy to crouch and get a good stance on. it is addicting man! My board has the old school bolt pattern (2.5 not 2.25 inches).
Longboard Review
How long have you ridden the board: few weeks
What is your setup like?: randals 180, yellow khiro(a little too soft), Karma Wheels(from the 90's, similar to the earth wing super balls), terminator three(also from the 90's)
Typical Session Discipline: commuting on campus, carving, dancing, light DH, sliding
How much did you pay?: 115 for the deck
Where did you purchase it?: Stoked Skateboards
What were the strengths of the deck.: This Deck is super flexy not the mild it says. i could flex it almost to the floor, and i am only 145. The flex is perfect for popping out of turns and dancing. the deck is a good size for dancing. the decks shape is almost the same shape as the dervish, just a little wider. This board carves so hard it is just asking to slide. I called NS and the 3yr warranty will cover
What were the weaknesses?: as a flex deck it is not inherently stable DH and sliding. want an awesome felxy carver? this is it. i think it is better than the dervish. NS could give better information on the deck.
Similar decks you have ridden?: Dervish
Would you recommend it?: Yes
