Hey, I'll be doing a review on the speed demon checkerboard blank. It's a 7.5 and I ordered it off of zumiez.com I've been using it for 3 months now.
http://www.zumiez.com/zshop/ProductDetail.aspx?DepartmentID=2&ShopByBrand=True&OrganizationID=1075&ProductID=19336 That's the only picture I could find.
On to the review.
Durability:This board is pretty durable and I haven't really had any problems with durability. 10/10
Concave:The concave on this board is not too steep and not too mellow either. It's inbetween but I didn't really feel it. 8/10
Pop:This is the deck's downfall. The pop wasn't that great. The pop was OK and I've had alot of other boards with much more pop. 5/10 It lasts for a long time though.
Slide-Boardsliding with this board is horrible. I needed more wax than usual. 4/10
Weight-The deck was pretty light weight 8/10
Razortail time-This board razor tailed like CRAZY. ill try to get pics up soon. 2/10
Chips-This board chips like CRAZY. Mine had chips after the first month all over the board.
Overall, Speed demon is NOT a good blank deck brand. I wouldn't reccommend them at all. Get a pop-lite etc, but stay away from speed demons. Thanks for reading.
4/10
