well I got my insect after like 2 and a half months of waiting, and its well worth it. ID recomend this to anyone who loves carving but has friends that do / or wants to try some down hill. It still carves like a mofo but the drop through desighn makes it a lil less sketchy going 25+. My board was missdrilled and its still holding strong after much abuse, (steves gunna replace it). so all i have to say is that if ur waiting for your board or ur thinking of ordering one do it...they kick ass and u wont regret it...

this board is for the all around rider who wants to dabble in all felds of riding especially carving. i learnd on this board and it taught me to become a more stable rider at speeds even on a shorter board. It can tackle anything from bowls, small hills, parking lots and streets. I recomend this board to a person who wants to have only one board to screw around on as it can shred it all.

What were the strengths of the deck.: the way i have it set up...it carves like a cloud. It turns alot better and sharper then the vanguard and is alot more lively. its great to cruse on and lively yet stable at low speeds. THIS BOARD IS KING IN PARKING LOTS!! ive also used it for bowl riding and is quite nice as you can pump the board
