It was just what i needed to progress into different disciplines of Longboarding. I had s8 trucks with Big Zigs 83a on this board to start with. It was the best carver EVER, even better than my Pintail 40.
Then when i started freestyle i switched to Randal 180s. This board is light as a feather and stiff as! I had the middleweight and i weigh 140 pounds, and it didn't flex much at all which I loved! It meant i could use it for speed, as mentioned before hitting 50km/h or 30mph with supercarves 81a/85a. I learned shuv-its in the first day and ghost-ride and old-school kick flips in a few weeks.
I would recommend this as a first board, to get into freestyle, but not for freeride. I'm 6"1' and it has too short of a wheel base IMO. However its a great freestyle/cruiser mix, but if you want a more all round board, then get the Apex 40, and more freestyle Orientated board, the Apex 34.
5/5 for Freestyle, 5/5 for Looks, 3/5 for Freeride and 4/5 for all round performance.
