Equipment Reviews How long have you ridden them?: 2 weeksWhat Setup are you running them on?: Conspiracy BP with Indy 169's and Bones Yellow bushings. Typical Discepline?: Sliding How much did you pay for them?: $15 (deal!) Where did you buy them?: Used from a SL user What are their weaknesses?: They aren't very fast downhill because they are quite small and wide, but that's not what they're meant for, so that's alright. I wish they were a bit narrower for a smaller contact patch though, that would be nice. What are their strengths?: Once broken in (which doesn't take long), they slide extremely smoothly. They don't give you that stutter that you get with some slide wheels. They aren't extremely slippery so you don't have to worry about sliding out unexpectedly. Very predictable. What similar equipment have you ridden?: Spitfire street wheels, 66mm Zigzags. Would you recommend them?: Yes D-d-d-Daddies!, Tuesday, 02 September 2008
Retailer Reviews What did you buy?: Loaded Vanguard complete, Helmet, Loaded Gen. 3 Slide gloves, khiro shock pads, refelx utilitool, Lemon zigzags, and bearing spacers.When did you buy it?: complete 4 months ago, everything else yesterday How much did you spend?: $230 for complete, everything added up to about $500 Was the site easy to navigate if the purchase was online?: Yes, extremely easy. Sidebar helped a lot for browsing different types of things. Items were sorted by company and then by size. Did the purchase go smoothly?: Yes, very. Did you feel like they appreciated your business?: They should have, I blew a half grand there haha. Customer service was barely even needed, and when it was, was easy and helpful. Questions could be asked right on the sight and answered within the next couple days. Would You recommend them in the future?: Yes definitely, for any accessory I may need.

Longboard Review How long have you ridden the board: 4 monthsWhat is your setup like?: Flex 3, Lemon Zigzags, Randal R-II's, Bones Reds Typical Session Discipline: carving, cruising, occasional downhill How much did you pay?: $220 (complete) Where did you purchase it?: www.daddiesboardshop.com What were the strengths of the deck.: Very flexible and light weight. Great first deck because it does a little bit of everything. Great for carving and even good for some mild downhill, but I wouldn't go over 35mph on this thing. What were the weaknesses?: It rides a little too high and the flex could have definitely had more rebound and spring back to it. The board scratched and chipped easily and the spray on grip didn't last long and became very dirty, but these problems are pretty minor. I was 10 pounds lighter than the weight range for the flex I chose and I still bottomed out on occasion. Similar decks you have ridden?: Original 41", S9 Cosmic Would you recommend it?: Yes Randal 180mm, Tuesday, 02 September 2008
Equipment Reviews How long have you ridden them?: 4 monthsWhat Setup are you running them on?: Loaded Vanguard (flex 3), 66mm Lemon Zigzags, Bones Reds Bearings Typical Discepline?: Carving, cruising, and occasional downhill How much did you pay for them?: came with complete Where did you buy them?: www.daddiesboardshop.com What are their weaknesses?: They aren't too stable over 35mph, but that has never been a problem for me since I only do mild downhill bombing. I had to flip the bushing cup because the bushing kept popping out from underneath them but that was a quick and easy fix. What are their strengths?: Great for carving and cruising around. Look great even though they get easily banged up, but that has never affected their performance. They are very easy to maintain and tweak. Great trucks for almost any set up! What similar equipment have you ridden?: I've ridden Gullwing Alpines, Chargers, Mission 1's, and Invaders. Would you recommend them?: Yes << Start < Prev 1 Next > End >> Results 1 - 4 of 4
