I like it for sliding. It suits my style very well. its ugly but it goes! It's killer on hills, a bit tankish anywhere else.

Every time i step on this deck I have amazing sessions. Its very stable and for DH, makes an exellent carver if you set it up with turny trucks. The large wheel cut outs are great cos i can run 80mm wheels and C7 nice and loose and get no wheel bite! And it was cheap!
Longboard Review
How long have you ridden the board: 8 months
What is your setup like?: C7 and 80mm kryptos for fast stuff. RII and 77mm 81a strikers for carving and general messing around.
Typical Session Discipline: DH
How much did you pay?: 50 quid
Where did you purchase it?: surf shop in brighton uk
What were the strengths of the deck.: VERY STRONG. beautiful concave. nice and wide. decent length. concave makes sliding ince and comfortable.
What were the weaknesses?: truck mounts are a bit sketchy. The wheelbase could be two inches shorter, but that is probaly because im not very tall. i dont have any problems riding it as it is though.
Would you recommend it?: Yes

Good wheel if you have the cash. Fast urethane. Easy to control in the slide. Same mold as the earthwing superball.

Great freeride wheel. I think of it as a hybrid between an avalon type wheel and a krypto type wheel.
