Longboard Review How long have you ridden the board: 4 monthsWhat is your setup like?: Bennett Vector 5.0s and Tunnel Rocks, Reflex Orange and Orange Plus bushings Typical Session Discipline: Cruising, Carving, Sliding How much did you pay?: ~270 Where did you purchase it?: Wildchildsports.com What were the strengths of the deck.: AWESOME cruiser, easy to pump, it has alot of footroom even for someone like me with size 13 feet. It is a VERY responsive board especially with the Bennetts which give it some insane turning. It has a nice stiff flex which makes it pretty stable actually if you want to take it to 20 mph+ (a friend rode down a local hill and hit about 30-35 mph). I ride it with reflex bushings because the standard Bennett bushings do not have alot of give. What were the weaknesses?: Somewhat fragile, it can take hits into walls on the nose and tail with no damage but when trying to ollie it can chip the tail. This can be easily solved with a tail guard. Similar decks you have ridden?: various skateboards, flexdex, other smaller longboards Would you recommend it?: Yes Madrid 45" Speedboard, Thursday, 23 October 2008
Longboard Review How long have you ridden the board: About a week.What is your setup like?: Randal RIIs with flipped hangars, Oust Mach 5 Tech Bearings, Orangatang 80a (orange) InHeats Typical Session Discipline: Big Hills, Cruising How much did you pay?: $280 Where did you purchase it?: Daddies Board shop What were the strengths of the deck.: The concave on it is really nice because it is not too deep but good enough to keep your feet locked in. It's a great downhill board and you feel so stable when you are in your tuck and you are speeding down the hill. It is cut nicely so that you have plenty of turning room and there's no way you would ever get wheelbite. It turns very nicely but I have my trucks pretty loose and haven't gotten speed wobbles in the first week I've had it. TONS of foot room because this thing is very very long. What were the weaknesses?: Has old-school holing so I couldn't put bear grizzlies on it but the Randal RIIs flipped work great. Similar decks you have ridden?: Landyachtz Evo, Rayne Demonseed, S9 Bomb Hills, Kebbek caften. I like the ride of this board better than all of these boards. Would you recommend it?: Yes << Start < Prev 1 Next > End >> Results 1 - 2 of 2
