Longboard Review How long have you ridden the board: Just got it this season but I have rode the hell out of it since.What is your setup like?: 38" flex 4, RII's, stock bushings (should replace). abec 7 bearings, Tunnels 70mm clear red 78a. Ran some Original trucks at first but went back to Randals. Typical Session Discipline: cruising, carving, mild dancing, communting. How much did you pay?: $90 Deck only. Slightly used. Where did you purchase it?: The Fish - Feed the Quiver What were the strengths of the deck.: Smooth ride, amazing transitioning. Once you get used to the flex you can carve ridiculously hard. Also the deck is pretty light. Super agile and wheel bite would be nearly impossible to achieve. What were the weaknesses?: I have heard that they chip easily, I have ran the bottom of the board into a curb and it scuffed a little, no chipping or anything. I weigh 125 and got the flex 4, it is perfect. I would suggest getting a flex pattern where you are near the bottom of weight bracket or get one flex pattern stiffer to be safe. Similar decks you have ridden?: NS Heist... it wasn't nearly as responsive though. Would you recommend it?: Yes Fun...., Sunday, 05 July 2009
Equipment Reviews How long have you ridden them?: 2nd seasonWhat Setup are you running them on?: Vanguard. Gummies. Typical Discepline?: carving, cruising, light dancing. How much did you pay for them?: Traded. Where did you buy them?: feed the quiver What are their weaknesses?: They seem a little bulky, but the major weakness I have found is how fast they lost thier life. Second season with them and I definitely have to replace the spring. I would suggest getting the hard spring no matter what weight you are. They are weird to get used to but once you do they are a lot of fun. Not as trust worthy as some other trucks. What are their strengths?: They are something totally different and fun to try out. Like others have said, it is a lot like snowboarding, but in almost perfect condition. I loved these things for the first while but I have switched back to RII's. What similar equipment have you ridden?: apex 37 Would you recommend them?: Undecided << Start < Prev 1 Next > End >> Results 1 - 3 of 3
