there's a reason everyone's got them and those that do include the world champ downhillers and general freeriders.

I was going to give this a bad review but lots of people are talking about getting some speed on the thing, which is something I hadn't really considered trying. - I'm new to speed but am working my way up at the moment. In fact I hated this so much at first as I'd been expecting some kind of flex to it, but it was just dead, and really heavy. which is probably great for bombing ? I'm going to stick the trucks back on and get it out again...
Longboard Review
How long have you ridden the board: 2 months
What is your setup like?: grizzlies
Typical Session Discipline: fast hard carving to slides, starting picking up speed
How much did you pay?: £130 !
Where did you purchase it?: daddies and shipped to UK
What were the strengths of the deck.: great concave, simple graphic clean appearance, solid construction
What were the weaknesses?: wheel bite on 77mm hawgs with the grizzlies, dead flat feeling to the deck, catch my feet on thte rear wheels to easily - it's too narrow at the rear, tail should have some king of lift to it to allow access
Similar decks you have ridden?: none, but i also ride a never summer heist, never summer smoke and a dervish flex 2
Would you recommend it?: Undecided

It suits my riding style, you can really carve hard on it and the whole package feels really solid
Longboard Review
How long have you ridden the board: 1 week
What is your setup like?: randals, stock bushings, DBS bearings, lime big zigs
Typical Session Discipline: hard carving, drifting, bit of footwork stuff
How much did you pay?: $125
Where did you purchase it?: Daddies
What were the strengths of the deck.: great snap to the flex, really thin construction, so it's light, the Ptex bumpers work, good concave and width locks you in.
What were the weaknesses?: you can still get wheelbite with a 75mm wheel. this needs to be resolved. I hate wheelbite
Similar decks you have ridden?: dervish first edition flex 2. the heist is definitely snappier flex. not just stiffer.
Would you recommend it?: Yes
