If you are the kind of person who commutes for 3k?s or more, does not want to kick for ages on flats, likes the taste of some speed, is not too concerned with dancing and wants a serious toy, this is the holy grail. Longboard Review How long have you ridden the board: 1 dayWhat is your setup like?: Deck: Landyachtz Drop Speed Trucks: Randal RII 180 Bearings: Moduc Abec 7 Wheels: ABec 11 78a Gumballs Typical Session Discipline: Commuting, Downhill, Carving How much did you pay?: $650 AU Where did you purchase it?: Extreme Skates, Brisbane What were the strengths of the deck.: This board is so stable, predictable and just begs to go fast! It?s also a great commuter as it holds momentum unbelievably well and is not heavy to kick. What were the weaknesses?: Wide Turning Radius, cant manual as the nose it too short. Similar decks you have ridden?: Z-Flex, Dervish, Whale C0ck Hybrid. Would you recommend it?: Yes Great for short boards, Monday, 28 September 2009
Equipment Reviews How long have you ridden them?: 2 MonthsWhat Setup are you running them on?: Short Board - Hybrid Setup Deck: 32" Whale Cock (Hybrid) [17" Wheelbase] Trucks: Randal RII 150 Bushings: Stock Randal Bearings: Moduc Abec 7 Wheels: Orangatang Fat Free Typical Discepline?: Commuting, Cruising, Bomb (Small) How much did you pay for them?: 80 AU Where did you buy them?: Extreme Skates, Brisbane What are their weaknesses?: In comparison to a softer duro wheel, they produce a bit of road noise. expansion joints in footpaths can begin to piss you off. The 'clunk' is realy noticable and they dont absorb any impacts. What are their strengths?: Fast & hold momentum well. I bought these because I previously had a set of clear krypto classics which were smooth but lost so much speed and momentum on flat surfaces. These wheels will outroll kryptos 2:1 They are smooth, predictable and grip well for a hard wheel. What similar equipment have you ridden?: Z-Smoth, Kryptonic Classic (Clear). Neither are in the same league as the Fat's. Would you recommend them?: Yes << Start < Prev 1 Next > End >> Results 1 - 2 of 2
