this is a deck only for people who likes a lot of flex. they dont break easy. manuals and shuvits and powerslides are easy to do.

Longboard Review

How long have you ridden the board: 7 months
What is your setup like?: RII's gumballs and black panther ceramics
Typical Session Discipline: some DH carving and cruising
How much did you pay?: 255
Where did you purchase it?: stokedskateboards.com
What were the strengths of the deck.: carves nice. and haves a nice flex to if u choose the right flex. it looks nice and can do lots of tricks. can take speeds very well. i hit 50mph the other day. im and experience rider. dont go bombing hills like its nuthing with the vanguard. not built for speed.
What were the weaknesses?: it can look dirty pretty easy. and may look like cracks in the grip tape or the top covering of the bamboo the fiber or plexy glass forgot which one. flex 4 flexes way to much for me and im 120lbs when i step down in the middle it almost tuches the ground. i think they sent me a flex 5 with the number 4 on it lol.

i went with my friend to rhon john so i bought some bushings because i need some and i got i think medium soft bushings. (yellow) i put them on my randall 2's which was on my s9 bomb hills deck. i had the truccks pretty loose but in like 2 days the bushings were completly eaten up and half of them were gone. they didnt last a frikin day! and they were made to not ship the way they did. just buy randall bushings. really good bushing
