Newsflash

Not all skate shirts are black!   Check out the Silverfish Gear Page .  There are new men's, women's and kids' shirts!  (Some are even black.)

 

 We're using "spreadshirt", so you order straight from them.  Dig through the listings and you'll find some classic 'Fish designs, including shirts with art taken from member Ryan's art-pen drawings.  Check back for new designs, as we prepare to release the Fall Line (soon as Armani signs off...)

Subsonic's are great boards. The craftsmanship that goes into each one is great. I recomend never purchasing a blank deck, get it staind, no matter what. The stains make the board pop and will have an girl going crazy.
Longboard Review
How long have you ridden the board: 3-4 months.
What is your setup like?: RII 180s, 77mm Red Speedvents
Typical Session Discipline: Garages, Downhill
How much did you pay?: Used $170 for the complete w/gumballs.
Where did you purchase it?: Silverfish user
What were the strengths of the deck.: The Deck is thick, 15plys, which means zero flex for my 155lbs. The stain job is superb. Mine goes Orange->Black. The deck is smoothe and stable. The lowered platform is just right.
What were the weaknesses?: My stance is almost too wide for this board. I am 6'0" and I cut it close. My 6'4" buddy says it is too small. I would recomend the 42" for anybody close to 6' tall.
Similar decks you have ridden?: Landyachtz DH Race.
Would you recommend it?: Yes

Overall, I'd say I love this board. With the truck/wheel combo, I can people slalom all day long. I can get wicked fast carves going and still stick them. And when all is said and done, she packs away under my desk like she wasn't even there.
Longboard Review
How long have you ridden the board: The board is dated 11/28/2006
What is your setup like?: RTS/X wedged in the front. 70mm Red Zig Zags
Typical Session Discipline: garages and around campus.
How much did you pay?: $80 for the deck but the complete was a little more, with diff. wheels
Where did you purchase it?: Staright from Julian
What were the strengths of the deck.: The deck is the best one I have in the quiver. Great hand craftsmanship. She looks pretty no matter what angle you look at it. The concave is just right, locks me in, but not too deep. The grit is just right, enough to hold me on, but not overwhelming
What were the weaknesses?: She dings up ver easily. I guess that's what happens when you get a very good looking board, the dings show up like a sore thumb.
Similar decks you have ridden?: Nothing really. This was my first mini.
Would you recommend it?: Yes

I love my Originals. I got one of my buddies hooked onto longboarding by letting him ride my board with these trucks. They were my first trucks and I plan on keeping them for a long time.
