So I'ma gonna be the one to do this.

unfortunate for me I have no pictures. As the deck remains are somewhere in seattle washington. probaly being a hobos dinner or something.

anyways.

Shape 10/10: I actually really like this shape. not to big of a nose and not to big of a tail. the tail is smaller so I can get a proper flick for my switch heelflips and switch bs heels. the nose has a great shape. its perfect to get a flick off of. reminds me of my santa cruz powerlight.

durability 9/10: it lasted me exactly 32 days.....warrenty invalid damnit haha
It didnt lose its pop. Well thats also because I dont let my boards chip. Ever.
But anyways it never went flimsy. The carbon fiber disks kept it stiff the entire lifespan. but alas it broke trying a 13 drop 180. snapped the nose.
and no pressure cracks. haxx?

Graphic 5/10 : lines that looks like transmitting waves? pshhh gay. coulda made something sicker looking.

Overall 9/10: If you break decks and you snap your tail/nose alot. Buy this deck.
Most people say that these boards loose their pop after awhile. It was amazing every second I skated it. Just try and actually keep your deck in a good condition. Dont go out and mnaul and when you hit the tail keep on scraping it. Fuck razortail shits weak. This deck is great. just dont perposuly fuck it up and it should keep you skating good for the entire time you have it.


Now. Go skate. Unless its night. go sleep so you can skate in the morning.

and dont give me none of that "but its raining" shit. Go find a covered basketball court or something.

yeah, which really sucks ass, the only place the warranty is valid is above the trucks, where your board is least likely to break. I know your all gonna say "But you get pressure cracks above the trucks," but c'mon people, it takes more than a month to get those.

nuh uh sucka.

The warranty is if your tail or nose breaks.

And pressure cracks can happen whenever.

I had a consolidated. Skated a 10 drop ledge for about and hour.
pressure cracks from one truck to the next. then it broke later that day.

Stuff happens. Oh and heres the ten ledge.
