    *NOTE The end of the video glitches & UA-cam wont allow me to fix it. What's not included is the wheels are 60mm, fun for slappy grinds & if you skate curbs a lot this board would good for you. Thanks to my friend Jim for letting me borrow it. I wouldn't buy one. I just feel like if I had it in my board lineup I wouldn't take it out enough. It's fun but I wouldn't spend the money it cost.

      @@ZackDowdy it would be easier to buy it on an impulse for around 300€/$ and use it as a cruiser, longboard for transportation and occasional curb session. For around 500 I think it will only retain collectioners

    As an old fat skater, 6 foot 3 and 260 these big boards are fun to cruise but when it comes to tricks I find I have wayyyy more fun on a super wide board with a regular wheel base. Skull skates makes even longer and yeah, it just feels like im tryiing to force the board to move rather then skating if that makes sense

    I skated my Longboard at the park yesterday and it performed best in the kidney bowl. It is stable and turny with Paris RKP Trucks. It's best for cruising, going fast downhill, having fun turning and carving. Because of how good it is for transportation, with it's large 83a wheels, it just rolls over everything with relative ease, makes going back to a regular board feel like a lot of work.

    9:50 the longer board means your front foot has more leverage over the rear truck when turning off the coping like that. Seems like it should be harder than it actually is. Just my 2 cents.

    If you want to do tight turns on it, needs a little humpage in the deck over the wheels or could make a full blown mountain board conversion/adapter kit that goes with it, to make it a convertible board. It's got enough concavity and deck area to run a bunch of the trails downhill; I've seen people ripping them down single track mountain bike tracks, no motors/battery needed. Get dropped at Mt. Baldy and ride down - nice set of paved/light trail options to choose from along the way ;-)
