this is a good board 4 all skill levels and all riding styles. I first ordered mine with t bears and the in heats the bears worked well but didn't turn tight. So I tried out the chargers and got the racing formulas for sliding.the sides have a coating witch I sanded off. This board has slight camber to Make pumping possible(with the right setup). There is a mild flex so it's not bad for downhill. your feet won't slip with the concave. I like this board Its my first but now that I have a couple monthes of experience I'm craving a better one

i said this board was awesome and all and it was, but i did a simple tiger claw, probably done like 100 on it, and it snapped where the back truck is. :(

I got this board about 7 months ago with 180mm paris, 83a in heats and bones reds. The deck is awesome, some what flexy, and a great size. The trucks turn great and I dont get wheel bite. THis is definitely a higher end Sector 9 board. The wheels are grippy but slide ok on the board, but i dont slide much mostly freride. I think if your just getting into longboarding this is a great board, save your money for the loaded boards later.

I bought this board brand new, being a beginner to longboarding, hoping that this board would hold up for a good amount of time. I have had it for abound a month and a half, and its hold up decently. But one of the things that is depressing is that the boards blue color on the sides wears off very easily through constant rubbing. If you carry this board where ever you go, you will see the blue on the sides of the board start to fade and you can see the clear material (not quite sure what this is, but its actually cool looking). The DaddiesBoardShop Wheels that can come with the board are centered, thus pushing the wheels back toward the board, and thus creating some wheel bite. I would get some ABEC 11 wheels at Milehighskates.com because most wheels come with a free set of bearings. Anyway, the bottom scraps really easily when nicked with rocks and such, but overall it is a really good board. I havent dropped it or anything serious, so it still looks almost perfect. Hope you enjoy!
