http://www.silverfishlongboarding.com/forum/showthread.php?t=49563 If you're looking for the best American-made topmount speedboard, this is it. It's perfect. Longboard Review How long have you ridden the board: A few weeksWhat is your setup like?: Crails, lime zigzags, and biltins. No risers. Typical Session Discipline: Downhill Where did you purchase it?: From www.chicagolongboards.com What were the strengths of the deck.: Stiff, solid, responsive. Holds my 205 lbs extremely well even though it's incredibly light. Agile for a DH board because it is topmount. Rides like a dream, absorbs road vibes while still maintaining torsional rigidity. Concave is perfect, especially for larger feet. Thick stringer allows more wheel clearance. What were the weaknesses?: Could break if it hits a curb at high speeds. Thankfully, Julian at CLB ships the board with bumpers so this is not much of an issue. Similar decks you have ridden?: Rayne Avenger Would you recommend it?: Yes Great, great speedboard/all-arounder, Wednesday, 28 March 2007
Longboard Review How long have you ridden the board: 4 monthsWhat is your setup like?: Crails with khiro bushings, 78a gumballs, biltins, drop-through Typical Session Discipline: Speedboarding/commuting How much did you pay?: 220 Where did you purchase it?: chicagolongboards.com What were the strengths of the deck.: The deck is great! It's light and stiff (torsionally stiff as well). Mr. Chicagolongboards can custom drop it through (what he did for me) if you don't want top-mount. Wheel-wells are great, construction and finishing are top-notch, and the board is beautiful. The best riding speedboard I've ever had. What were the weaknesses?: The nose could break during a high speed impact. Just use some rubber impact softeners if this concerns you (I don't and it hasn't been a problem) Similar decks you have ridden?: Rayne Demonseed Would you recommend it?: Yes << Start < Prev 1 Next > End >> Results 1 - 2 of 2
