since this being the first Lboard ive ever ridden i have to say it was absoloutely marvelous to learn on! it was easy to pick up skills on such an easily controlled board. i can imagine it would be alot harder to learn on any another performance deck, such as the weird shaped, and slightly higher Vanguard.
another great point is that the board feels remarkably like a snowboard. carving is nearly the same feeling!
i would reccomend this to almost any snowboarder who lives away from a mountain. if there was a board that could be titled "king all-rounder" this would no doubt be it. i absoloutely love this board. worth every penny.
Longboard Review
How long have you ridden the board: since early July
What is your setup like?: paris 180's
O'tang InHeats (purple) =D
Swiss Bones

Typical Session Discipline: cruising, carving, garages, chicks
How much did you pay?: $180 for deck, extra for hardware.
Where did you purchase it?: some skate sell store on ebayz
What were the strengths of the deck.: beauty of the shape, drop through mounting, lower to ground (stability), awesome flex for all-round longboarding purposes.
What were the weaknesses?: i havnt found any real groundbreaking weaknesses, except that the trucks/board squeak when turning but i have been told solutions to this problem.
other than the less-than-awesome graphic i cant put a finger on anything.

Similar decks you have ridden?: alot of people say the vanguard would be similar, but there is alot more flex in the vang, and it is a slightly harder board to push. i wouldnt reccomend the vang to beginners. Otherwise there are no boards like it.
Would you recommend it?: Yes
