- The board feels great even on big hills. It’s a great board for novice riders looking to polishing their longboarding skills. It’s also great for carving and it does this very well.
- The high-performance ABEC 7 bearings spin faster and longer which means less effort getting up to full speed. It features bearing spacers for quicker acceleration and higher rolling speed.
- The high-rebound bushings can be used in a variety of shapes across the line to match the functionality of the board. From stability at high speeds to carving with responsive turning, this board appropriately fits styles from fast downhill lines to cruising, carving, and street skating.
- The board’s high-rebound urethane formula is abrasion resistant, smoother, faster, and provides excellent grip.
- Epoxy resin is used to press the board which makes it lighter, stronger and longer lasting than normal water-based decks.
- The black grip at the end of the board makes it easy to pick up. It comes loose enough already so it’s super easy to turn. This is also a perfect size and weight for when it needs to be carried.
Cons
- Great for beginners but not so ideal for serious boarders.
