I would be curios to see another video with real world use of it. free style, ramp, street. and get a prespective on how it feels compared to a regular wood board.
I like that idea. Half the work was making it tougher than maple. The other half the work designing it was to make it skate better (pop, slide, etc.)
@@litheskateboards if it skates comprable and has this durability isent it like an incredible upgrade? doesnt even have to skate better persay. although that squeak would take me off of it real quick.
YES PLEASE! Have the guys do some tricks on it
@@dillonoickle5841 I could be wrong, but it looked like it only started squeaking after getting hit so hard that at the point the normal one would've already been broken.
Ya!! I would love to see this actually skated. I really like the shape and concave from what I could tell from the video. I bet it nose-slides amazing.
You guys inspired me to buy a skateboard and start skateboarding I started two days ago I can ride around and I can almost do an Ollie
LeBron
Nice dude
Keep it up
So cool. Keep going.
Let's go
The green ply binder is most likely UL 752 level polycarbonate ballistic grade plastic. That's my best guess.
Bro they said it was flubber, case closed
@@HeyImKevin uh no? It’s green jolly ranchers. Come on now.
Idk what you just said, but I believe you lol
I've worked in the plastic industry for over 10 years and idk what you're talking about lol it's likely just PET G
It’s d30
Wow that was way more durable than expected. The way it held the car up was impressive. The flight deck just bent straight to the ground in the other video.
Thanks a lot! Fun to make
Flubber man wow, one of my first favorites
Sobe kind of ruber
You guys inspired me to get back into skating after 14yrs! I separated my shoulder yesterday at the local pool after telling myself because I could drop in on the mini ramp I would be ok dropping into the large bowl. 🙃
Oh dang sorry to hear that. Heal up soon ❤️
Only one way to find out right?!
Start a lil slower hit a smaller one first or just a mini quarter pipe at a street section in a park first bro. That’s terrible. Heal up quick. Bless
Right there with you brother. I’m 34, haven’t skated since I was 17-18. First drop in slammed HARD, had it down by the tried attempt. I knew getting back into it would be rough but no one warned me about the back leg pain. I’m goofy and my left leg is literally killing me lol.
This is just what skateboards should be made out of. I’m excited to see how this design evolves.
That was awesome. I know the guy was bummed they got to break. But come on, that board would have lasted me multiple lifetimes.
Straight up, for some reason I felt bad for the Creator guys lol
Really cool how they use different types of wood at different areas of the skateboard. If they start selling in Europe I won't hesitate to order one.
They sell world wide
@@DB19899 excuse me, I meant shipping from within Europe.
@@thijs199 what are the boards called?
I found them. They are "lithe slate 3" I think
I order one in july 2020 and got nothing same as so many people who ordered one💀
The last few days have been the best of my life, I've finally got kickflips consistent and everything else just in general has come together for me
its been super hot where im at but i live across the street from the skate park so i literally go and land 3 kickflips a day to make sure i got it😂😂
@@iSchwiifty sometimes that's how it be ngl it's too easy to just forget tricks if you don't skate for a while had to re learn pop shuvs from the start after winter ended
👍🏻
I can appreciate innovation. Growing up I saw the transition in hockey from wooden sticks to composite material and maybe that’ll be seen here too
I remember the first one soooo long ago! Amazing what it has come to grow to and you got the guys who made it on with you this time! THAT'S SO SICK!
Thanks
Was the first one Aluminum? There was a company making aluminum boards in the early 2000s ...
They didn't fair as well as one would expect... they would develop a WICKED case of (quite literal) razor tail. Lol
The loss of pop comes from the board aging and attaining moisture etc. But I do also think its affected by the tail since the thickness has been reduced on the point of contact means there is less force pushing the board up that moment you pop.
This is what I need while trying to get back into Skating. I also need my bones to be as robust 😂
i mean.. flight deck.
Actually, that's the problem with boards like this though. The less they are capable of breaking and the more of a 100% rebound you get on impact, the higher the chance _your_ bones will break, instead of the skateboard. A hybrid skateboard makes _some_ sense in context of durability, but a 100% carbon one really does not make sense at all. It changes the physics involved and can actually be very dangerous. Not to mention how these boards are insanely overpriced. I'm not trying to hate on their efforts, but Lithe skateboards aren't it.
get your bones infused with that green stuff like wolverine
💚👊
@@PHeMoX that's a strange way of thinking dudes, I don't think it works that way, using the same argument let's say there's 7 layered MDF board-shaped deck, it breaks easier than you skate on it and drop down 10 floors like jaws usually do, it will breaks absorbing some the impact and release another into your body, I bet you will break your bones.
The less they are capable of breaking doesn't translate into the higher chance of our bones breaking. flexibility, damping factors, and lots of variables should be put into account.
I figured it out. The secret is shock absorption. If you wanna make a PERFECT unbreakable board it needs to not only survive slams, razor and chip, it needs to not snap your ankles off big drops. If someone could create a board that can safely absorb big drops without any damage it'd revolutionise skating forever
I always thought this type of shock absorbing should be done with shoes instead.
If they make a skateboard that doesn’t brake the creator will only sell skateboards once. The point in a business is for them to break if not they won’t sell.
Yeah and I figured out the secret to living forever. If someone could just create a jab which would reverse our ageing it'd revolutionise our lives forever! You see how making a blanketed statement doesn't mean you have 'figured it out,' but just mentioned what everyone already knew.
@@JackSturmanFilms why are you hating on a comment on a braille video bro it’s prolly a kid
@@TheAnimeist that is why i ride footprint skateshoes. They have a special sole with 91% impact absorption. It is a non newtonian rubber in it.
Love your content. Got me back to skating and still making great content
I'm guessing that the green stuff is similar to the stuff inside hockey sticks. It's basically a material that fills micro-fractures in the stick (in this case, board). Just a guess.
@Foxx1 Thanks. It seems like that would make sense. At least to me. I could be WAY off. Who knows?
I thought it would be polyurethane like a skateboard wheel, people have been using it for snowboard sidewalls for ages. Cool deck for sure but carbon fiber is awful for friction resistance so it might only last 200-300 times as long as a regular wooden skateboard.
@@cwj138 If it was just polyurethane, they wouldn't need to be all hush, hush about it. They wouldn't be able to patent it so why keep it a secret? Using a material in a new way could be. But, who knows. You could be right. Maybe because it's a skateboard, they can patent it. But I doubt it. Soon, you'll see all the big name pros using carbon fiber boards. It will start slow but eventually, everyone will be using them. That's how it happened with hockey sticks.
It's literally just a soft plastic
@@TourGuide223 You bought one?
This dude from Germany is so nice addition to the channel! 🖤
He skates for lithe skateboards
Using only two bolts certainly puts more stress on them making them more likely to snap if over-stressed. It doesn't happen often, but personally have had a truck bolt or two break while skating. Four bolts distributes the stress more.
I never broke one, but I had one back out and fall out, so I was riding around on 3 screws and didn't notice for awhile
Reminds me of the "bulletproof" boards from about 22 years ago. They were made of fiberglass or something and claimed to be unbreakable, but they broke just the same.
Interesting
I remember those from the 90s! They were wood-core with like a fiberglass shell. They looked sketchy af
@@ebybbob A few of my friends ordered some bulletproof decks around 2000/01. They had a lifetime guarantee and they would send you a new board if yours broke. Well they all got about 3 new boards untill the company gave up lol. They went out of business, and apparently the owner (paul hallet) made another company called "immortal skateboards" around 2014.
@@Schwabguitar lol wow didn't know what happened to them thx! I figure if your biz model revolves around unbreakable boards that you'll replace for free then they better be a lot closer to the board in this vid!
I remember the Krypto Foam boards. Major Failure.
Pretty cool, I like that innovations are still being chased. I remember a company called Aircraft that made aluminum decks in the late 90s....they weren't great. This actually looks like it's usable
This is really awesome and honestly I feel like tons of skaters have wanted stronger boards since the beginning.
I don't skate anymore but when it comes up for sale, I'm getting one just to hang on my wall. Looks fantastic!
Heck yeah love this channel and the skater community on UA-cam I have just started live in Australia Townsville solo skating atm also just going to empty skateparks, Just having alot of fun
The flexibility of the thinner edge of a razor-tail board absolutely results in less pop. At the moment of contact, the thin edge hits the ground and inelastically deforms. This transfers most of the energy to bending the thin edge instead of moving it up.
Big words = factual statements
100%
Uhm, wrong. The pop of a skateboard doesn't come from whatever the edge of a tail or nose is like in terms of thickness. The pop comes from the overall stiffness of the board and the way the board is able to flex and rebound. The board being a few mm shorter has pretty much no impact on pop when a deck is still fresh / new. Ironically, boards like the Powell Flight decks pretty much never lose their pop, which is due to the material of the board, not something related to razor tails. In fact, one of my Flight decks had insane razor tail and _still_ had a crazy pop. Still extremely skateable. With the way physics work, you can't 'bend' the outer edge of a tail or nose. The physics stay the same.
@@PHeMoX if the rail is thinner it's less stiff so less pop
@@PHeMoX You are right but that thin part of the razor tail flexing is a loss of energy and therefore a loss of pop.
Under normal skating though this would last forever, I love it. I love the engineering behind it the enthusiasm and belief in their product. Yeah I would buy one for sure !
love these video in the skate shop.
u guys are one the first skate channel ive seen and inspired me so much
Much love
We need Andy Anderson for testing. He has a very detailed and unique way of explaining skateboards.
Yes
An Andy Anderson deck made out of this and you'd never need another skateboard in your life!
Been waiting on my slate 3 for a little over a year! stoked to get Mine!
Much love ❤️
Skateboarding was my life in the 80’s and I think that deck is absolutely beautiful!
Best ad for these guys! Very impressive work!
Thanks. Not a paid video at all really its just a test video
@@brailleskateboarding I know :) Nevertheless, the board delivered
I am 265lbs and still really skate, so regular wooden boards are almost useless for me because I break them sometimes instantly. I ride Powell Flight and Santa Cruz VX decks. I have never broken or even cracked them. So I can attest to the unbreakability. But the edges chip badly and razor tail faster than wooden decks. I would like to see how these hold up to real world skating.
You ever try the Santa Monica Airlines boards? Those things are supposed to be indestructible
My guess is the green outer layer is like a poly urethane. Maybe recycled skateboard wheels? A similar process with how they make tar from tires for roads.
I was thinking delrin, but definitely some sort of plastic!
almost definitely. A lot of longboards use the exact same thing. Moonshine MFG uses it in most their decks.
I was thinking some non-Newtonian material, like in the edges of some phone cases. It hardens on impact and redirects force around the board, rather than through it.
Sebastian that was sick I had no idea he could smash boards that easily not to mention the kick flips too awesome man nice job
Looks like UHMW to me. A super slick low friction material. very strong, used for skidplates on rock crawlers and jet boats.
UHMW is brittle AF....
@@PokeSkaterDan at like temperatures below -200°….it’s known to have high Tensile strength and it’s very durable
Oh it has amazing tensile strength even at +140°F... but under tension with an abrupt point load, toast, like a grenade...🤷♂️
@@PokeSkaterDan 😂😂😂
@@gradystanley5812 lol you know your stuff sir🤣🤣
Wow that's a tuff board. Under normal use and care it would last a long time. The tails could use replaceable skid plates to help prevent razoring as far as everything else it's great. If you can make this thing any stronger in the middle. It will be the ultimate board. That green stuff is just wow.
they've used the green stuff in phone cases for years now, very shock resistant, its like oobleck rubber
@@Chefffff that's what I thought too. It was the closest thing I could think of. I seen a video on that stuff.
Doing additional testing now to get the center more tough without changing the flex. We will start pressing them this week 🙂
@@litheskateboards I would put some type of rods going through the board. Some type of reinforcement like concrete rebar.
@@litheskateboards there's no need dudes. It broke but there's no way someone is breaking that under practical use.
the border is made from the same ruber as bouncyballs :)
I was literally yelling FLUBBER at the screen and said "YESSS" when you finally mentioned it lololol
The future of skate ! 👏👏👏👏
Wish we could see this thing in action on the 3-block!!! Mogley vs Chris McNug game of s.k.a.t.e.
I've absolutely broken boards in the past because it got ran over whilst skating a car park. The guy stopped and the board stopped under his front tyre, he started thinking it had gone all the way under and broke the nose clean off at the bend.
The engineering that goes into boards like this is impressive but they never end up lasting long enough to be worth the extra price, if they can mass produce them for cheap enough though that would be awesome. The green edge is sick too if it's really that durable.
Visited channel after long time, everything is still there, vibe, mood, fun!!!
Thanks so much
happy to see u back
Thanks a ton
I myself would love to see another video make a part two once it gets reinforced
I can't imagine a world without skateboards
imagine scootering was the more superior sport
A world without skateboards is like a skateboard without a world. Both CAN be imagined. BUT that imagination is terrifying!
Running is more fun when you're fit and fast I skated 14 years and I've run 10 so far it's way more fun and natural sport
Outside green stuff is probably some variation Delrin -- likely Delrin with PTFE. It's lustre is too shiny to be a glass-reinfornced nylon, and Delrin would be the only polymer that would have the wear and abbrassion resistence needed for this application. :)
I remember the first lite board video you made, such a throwback
Now I, too, have the confidence that I can break anything if I put my mind to it! :D
I have faith in you
😂
@@brailleskateboarding if my other comment happens to infringe on anything wanna delete that for me... not sure how that legal stuff works just my little bit of engineering knowledge base guess
Ricky would be proud hahah
but jokes aside, i would buy this board, also would be awesome to be able to make ur own graphics on it with the order, cuz without throwing it to fire and under cars - it would last for a VERY long time. at least for me personally
I laughed out loud when you said “it means an engineer grew the tree?” 🤣
I fr pre-ordered this skateboard 2years ago and it never arrived, now that you guys have it I’ve found a glimpse of hope again
Yes they started manufacturing themselves. I hope you get your board soon Im sorry I didnt know they had backlog orders like that
I really need this board because I've been riding a promaster board for years now.
8:05 well, it increases the height it takes before your tail hits the ground, a razor tail. So I'd say that's the big factor in the less pop feeling
seriously, this is fun and made my day, ROFL
Thanks so much
That movie is so old and I love it every single second of it
"You ever done a front lip on fire?"
You should record a skate video with this but the board is on fire the whole time
What a great looking board! ❤❤
Quality is everything in a new product 😁😁🏆🏆👍👍💪🎖️🎖️
i remember back in the day a well known company reinforced the areas around the trucks with carbon fiber and people kept snapping their ankles... your board breaking on a high impact fall is the board saving your ankles from completely snapping. i personally would never ride these reinforced boards
Interesting point
If you landed bolts tho on any board it’s probably not going to break yet people don’t always break their ankles. Was these reinforcements causing bounce back or something? I imagine a reinforced tail or nose flex back on ur ankles
@@brailleskateboarding agreed
@@DB19899 rolling away from a trick its always less impact than bailing a trick and landing flat on your feet. Its a myth that puts all focus on something that happened to some dude a long time ago, while ignoring all the cases where the board split in sending legs in seperate directions which left skaters with permanent injuries ending their careers.
I’m a bit late to comment on this, but I’m stuck for choice, would you guys prefer this, or the Capsule Flight Path deck that you tried since then? From what I can see they’re both solid choices, but you guys are the only ones I know that have had hands on experience with both.
That's pretty impressive right there.
Right On!!! The second i thought flubber AK said flubber.
I mean i can see future skateboarders saying who rides this wood nowdays? That skateboard is a game changer for everybody, last longer then ever
I think it would be really interesting to see some real world long time feedback from a pro, especially someone that goes big, often and skates a ton. Like give this board to Nyjah, or Jaws, and if it lives past a month, you win. Clearly, this board is strong, but how does it handle long time, real world use? Very neat product.
11:53 bro that "first try" made laught so bad 🤣🤣🤣
I know what I'm watching tonight. Thanks for the reminder about flabbergasted epic film
So good haha
a lot of freestyle tricks and stuff like caspers and darkslides destroy a regular board fast so it would be interesting to see how this deck holds up to that type of skating
who's dark sliding??
@@vivelachocha7440 id give darkslides a go the only thing stopping me is how it instantly destroys the top of your board after only a few attempts and decks are expensive ;)
It’s solidified HULK NUT
The intro when Arran Kyro is introducing the board is so fricken funny at 0.25 speed. 😂
Can’t wait for 2.0 of this video
Understandable that they are doing promos with the new deck now that they are finally able to make the s3 after all the delays, but it feels kinda bad as someone who pre-ordered one of these 2 years ago watching influencers get to try them first. Hope they start pressing boards and sending em out asap
started skating cause of your guys again and i got wayyy better then j used to be
So awesome! Keep it up
@@brailleskateboarding i will! The last five days alone i spent 30+ hours learning how to use a bowl, how to ollie + pop shove it (landed it quite a few times but i got too cocky so i fell and bruised my knee real bad. Might be cause i am broke like a true skater and cant afford new wheels so i use/used my old longboard slicks which actually is harder but made me 10x better with slims. What makes me happy for eternity is that a older quite professional skateboarder saw me struggling with my wheels and was more than happy to sell my one of his used boards that he didnt really use for 10$ so i'll turn my life over and start working to never be too broke for being safe). i watched alot of your guys content on the S.K.A.T.E.-series to get inspiration and to remind myself that if i fall it wont hurt too bad...i hope. The next thing on the list is the feeble 270 drop in that Nigel did in the drop in only challenge. Keep doing what you are and keep inspiring new skaters (or revive the old-school skate style with the Braille Skateboarding twist to make it interesting again). I'll keep y'all posted when i get the feeble right :D
This is super cool!
Thanks a lot
They are hard to get a hold of. I definitely have tried to pick one up a few times.
Me crying inside after seeing that chiped board because i really need a new board
I looked them up a little while ago and were only like 400$ ish I thought to myself that's roughly the average Price for a decent surfboard. Considering the amount of stress a skateboard undergoes I feel like this would be a great investment for any skater because it ain't gonna ever break on you so it's not like you going to have to buy another deck probably ever lol
Start of the video: work of art beautiful. .
End of video: AK holds his own master piece
I haven’t skated in over 20yrs (long board doesn’t count does it?) and I’m considering getting one when available. This this is impressive.
Is it possible that the heat from the fire melted whatever resin keeps carbon fiber together? If that were the case, the board was relying only on the flubber and the wood for structural integrity when it snapped.
Definitely possible! We're gonna make it a tad stronger anyways though 💚
I was thinking the same thing. The kerosene may also have acted as a solvent, breaking down the resin, depending on the type of resin used.
I honestly don't understand why other companies aren't trying to do something like this... it's ridiculous how quickly people rip through decks.
its kinda obvious. if one board lasts as long as 5 boards they would lose sales by 5 times as much
It’s not profitable. Skateboard companies don’t want to make a product that will last . At the end of the day regular 7 ply maple will always prevail. It feels great setting up a fresh board
Engineering, testing and sourcing materials, and creating the equipment for producing them was an incredible challenge that took us a decade of hard work. Others even tries and failed. Nobody else has done it to this level because it's not an easy task.
you guys inspired me to buy this board just to try to break it. Smart marketing 101
Wow that board is freakin awesome ! I WANT TO BUY IT !! !!!!
Where do you get a board like this?
Its a lithe s3 they are 209 usd
@@randyestremera2418 That seems like a reasonable price. Do they make longboards?
I want to skate it so bad.. I ordered mine more than a year ago... I'm still waiting
Ordered mine more than 2 years ago....
I'm still waiting too....so sad 😔
@@charlescarter4752 that’s crazy! It’s sad I have not gotten answers from customer service.. 😕
And you won't my boi...better of trying one of the creature decks or at least something at your local or at least in the next town so that you are able to ride and have fun on now....not in 2 years or possibly longer
We suffered from 2 years of delays from our China manufacturer, so we spent the last year building our own factory in LA. We have been producing the woods and carbon and finally start pressing and shipping this week. That's why we went to Braille, we're finally ready.
@@charlescarter4752 same shame club I've waiting over 2 years as well I feel the pain
That's insane 🤯😱. I doubt that the green rim could be made out of strong acrylic or fiber glass like they use for ice hockey boards on the outside of the rink.
Reason why I say ice hockey rink barrier boards because that has a strong & stable bounce whenever a player is knocked into the boards
I loved "Flubber" lol
Hahaha
It would have been interesting if you actually tried skating it (see how it pops, flips etc.).
They have done the lithe boards in older videos.
awsome, except iv been trying to get one for years haha wish they made more at mass (edit) i get my decks made from a guy i saw online, my new one is carbon fibre and kevlar weaved, super strong and snappy! because i got bored snapping boards every 3 weeks (im a heavy footed skater)
Ive been waiting the whole time too. Crazy long time but im willing to wait to invest in the future of skating.
@@davidwhite6581 i feel you on that one man, as soon as they are actually available i will buy one instantly but for the past few years ive been checking... its always pre order. which is fine id rather them have the time to innovate it more!

That looks similar to a P-tex material used for bases of skis/snowboards. We also use a hard plastic material at my work that is very durable and lasts.
Interesting
Sweet video. FYI you have winter tires on that prius which do terrible for treadwear and performance in the heat.
Really?
@@brailleskateboarding yeah you’ll go through winter tires 5x as fast in the heat and have terrible braking performance in an emergency.
While the thought of an indestructible skateboard may be appealing to some I think I can speak on behalf of my old skater buddies when I say that, wearing out a deck is like a badge of honor, and some of us kept those badges in a stack in our closets and garages. And looking forward to a new graphic helped keep the sting out of breaking an old deck.
These "unbreakable" Boards are 'neat' and I'm sure they work great, but I prefer something with more soul and character behind it. Having old decks around is kind of like having a photo album of memories to look back on.
Or maybe I'm old school, or just plain old (43).
I really want to get another board even if its just to push around the neighborhood, and those Anderson decks are pretty sweet.
The only board I have left right now is a Flexdex I bought back in 1997, it mostly got used for shooting video and making runs to the quickie mart. But I've gotten a little heavy for it and want something rigid.
I feel this. Something about it is good and classic
Hi braille I was wondering if one of these days you could customize the grip tape of your skateboard with special markers
Great idea Silas ! I’d love to see that too! Or spray painted graphics by each of them ? Maybe 🤔
the look on the guys face when he saw all that hard work breaking in half
I'm almost convinced on buying one, just like the last video and the one 5 years ago. Idk may need another video
yeah it's strong, but does it feel like a normal board?
yep it does
Ordered mine on May 4th 2021, a standard 8.25”. Still haven’t been delivered. Those guys are having “enormous” delay and backlog issues. And to this day, I am not sure if I am ever gonna see that deck delivered ever (meanwhile, I am not even skating 8.25 anymore, moved up a quarter). $240 (shipping cost to Europe included) “immobilized” for over a year… This maybe is the real deal, definitely looks like the strongest thing out there. BUT please, at least, inform your viewers what a horrible customer experience it is to order one of these decks and the delay they are about to face if they do order. Cheers.
Oh no! Yes I had no idea they should not be selling at all in that case. I know they are making the boards themselves now so maybe they get yours out but that totally sucks Im sorry
All of the Slate 3 on our website have been listed a pre-order, we never had them in stock. The delays are coming to an end. The decks were originally going to produced in China. After COVID hit we faced nonstop delays from the manufacturer. At the beginning of the year we began making our own small factory in LA to transition back to USA. Our Los Angeles factory just got completed. The decks we took to Braille are the first USA made Slate 3's. We estimate all pre-orders should be delivered within 2 months.
@@litheskateboards Then send out doubles to anyone who pre-ordered. Since you didn't offer refunds or notice of delay when the mfg fell through. People shouldn't wait over a year for a product. Pre-order or not.
If you want a durable, waterproof, composite board, look into Capsule Skateboards. They are produced in Cyprus and definitely ship sooner. I got mine about one month after ordering earlier this year. And they were also tested by Braille and they could not break it.
Also, they are a bit cheaper than 240 bucks, with currently free shipping to Europe and the US in orders over 150 bucks.
@@brailleskateboarding should of done some homework on the company before advertising them on the channel
Wow man! The Future
I like the hockey stick guess on the green trim, but my guess would be the same stuff that scooter wheels are made of?
They are rubbish, I had 2x decks from Lithe, each cost me 200 dollars each plus shipping to UK plus vat and duty. Overall, both of them snapped on the tail after just a couple of days. I am sorry but powell peralta flight decks are way stronger and actually cheaper. Recently I was riding Santa Cruz VX - although it chipped a bit, it is even cheaper than the flight deck here in the UK and also very durable. Creature Skateboards were also producing some VX technology decks and they have some sick graphics.
Rosolowski brothers (the owners of Lithe) were also quite rude to me on their instagram when I pointed it out.
Overall, if you want something more than regular 7 ply, go for either powell peralta flight or VX deck, you will not be disappointed.
And for me, they last months.
Exactly!!! Thank you .
Speaking facts
Hey you're lucky you even got a board; they've had my $200 for over a year--still no board. I can second VX & Flight though--they're great. Hopefully this S3 will be better than whichever model you were riding.
@@capernickalset6698 i had 2x version 2.0 purchased early 2019. For me shipping was ok, package arrived from US to UK quickly, however I had to pay vat and duty which was a lot. Lithe decks are not worth the price, some regular 7ply, such as antihero and blood wizard lasted me longer than lithe.
