Equipment Reviews How long have you ridden them?: 4-5 monthsWhat Setup are you running them on?: Loaded Vanguard, Fibreflex Funshape, Gravity Spoonose Typical Discepline?: Cruise, Carve, Pump, Walk What are their weaknesses?: Not the most stable truck in itself. More experienced riders can probably handle them, but don't expect the trucks to do the work for you. Only drilled new-shcool. Stock bushings not phenomenal but they're supposed to be revised soon. What are their strengths?: Very smooth turning truck, durable too. Not too expensive but performs well. What similar equipment have you ridden?: Randals, briefly. Would you recommend them?: Yes Great board, not so fun shape., Thursday, 19 June 2008
Longboard Review How long have you ridden the board: 1 yearWhat is your setup like?: Paris 180's Bones Reds 75a Flashbacks Typical Session Discipline: Cruise, Carve, Walk, Pump What were the strengths of the deck.: Great moderate flex (I weigh ~140 lbs), very useful but doesn't feel extreme like Loaded flex. Solid board, slammed it directly into a curb on my worst fall and it's only dented, still rides like a champ. Not too flexy to the point where it feels frighteningly unstable. What were the weaknesses?: Shape not the greatest, would have rather opted for the Pintail so slightly bigger wheels could have been run without having to put the board way up high on risers. Similar decks you have ridden?: Loaded Vanguard Would you recommend it?: Yes Bamboo Bringin the Bang for a lot of Buck, Wednesday, 18 June 2008
Longboard Review How long have you ridden the board: 4-5 MonthsWhat is your setup like?: Paris 180's, stock bushings Bones Reds (changing to Biltins) Flashbacks 75a (changing to 77 Strikes 81a) Typical Session Discipline: Cruise, Pump, Carve, Walk What were the strengths of the deck.: Very versatile. Can be ridden very aggressively flatland, but can hold its own on a hill as well. Pushes very fast on account of the flexiness returning so much energy. Very durable deck though it feels brittle when you first start riding it (you'll grow to trust it more). Very fun ride. Wheelbite is almost impossible so there's a lot of room to tune and tweak your setup to your liking. What were the weaknesses?: Not stable at speed, but makes up for it with carving ability however. Expensive, but if you treat it well, should theoretically be a one-time investment. Makes people want to ask for a test ride and jump up and down on it. Similar decks you have ridden?: Fibreflex Funshape Would you recommend it?: Yes Results 6 - 8 of 8
