There are many unboxing videos but not so much in ride reviews. Hope it’s what you are looking for
I like shape decks! This is not my 1st shaped deck but I have been excited to ride this deck and trucks so I took it out to my local in Florida
The extra width gives more room for error and I really like that I don’t hit my fingers on my front trucks when nose grabbing. The concave is sick! I have the Missle 2 concave on my Meek Slasher Santa Cruz as well and I progressed a ton on it with grinding. That made it exciting that it was a new deck but yet similar to one of my fav!
The trucks are Erick’s 159 Stage 11 Hollows! Super light. I have one pair of 159’s but classic. Typically I ride 169’s on 10” decks but I went with what he rides to try it out. After the 1st test, I feel I will need the Indy Hard bushings as normal because I weight 195-205lbs and like transition but for now I’m riding stocks! I like the color design and how you can read 8Baller on one and Winkowski on the other
Wheels & Bearings: Not new or a Santa Cruz brand- Bones 58mm wheels are what I have so I tossed them on. I may try my 58mm Spitfires or get some of Winkowski’s wheels to make for a complete EW setup. I saw he rides 60-61mm in his Product Pillage video. Bearings, Bronson ceramics!
I hope to do a follow up review in a month. I skate almost daily so I’ll have a better feel for the setup then. Today my local’s pool coping was being redone by Pain Skateparks so I just hit some frontside grinds, some Rock n Rolls and grabbed my nose while kick turning the taco. I stayed doing the same techniques and usual lines to get a good feel and I absolutely loved it!
