I've has this board for about 4 weeks now with orangatang stimulus 83a wheels, bear trucks and bones swiss bearings. For carving and cruising, this board is the favoritve of all i have rode, and with it's quite large tail, manuals are easily done. One bad feature of the board is it's weight which can be a problem when trying to slide, i can 180 on anny board easily except this one. It is just too long. But, a good board for begginers becuase it is so stable and easy to carve with.

i've had my pintail 45 for about a month now. it has randal 150s, bones reds bearings (replaced the originals as they sucked) and lucky keg soft bushings up front/bones hards in the back. 66mm Gravity burners. I love the board and trucks. the wheels are just OK. the bushings stink and need to be replaced day 1. but the board rocks. it's sweet. very stable for cruising, carving and pumping. just don't kick it out from under you or the tip of the tail will suffer from road rash. i plan to add khiro bushings, wedge the front, dewedge the back and then add abec gumballs or something. then, it will be ultra-sick.
