Notes |
| Downhill |
A+ |
A |
Perfect for bombing downhills, especially the SILVERBACK and PYTHON. Very fast, smooth and stable. Will reach top speeds quickly. |
| Cruising |
A+ |
A |
Superior cruising boards. Minimal leg burn. Extended shoe life. |
| Freestyle |
A |
A |
Nose ride, cross step, wheelies, 180s, rail turns. All are possible. Intimidating for the timid, but amazing for a pioneer. Tony Hawk probably hasn't nose wheelied an 80" stick. |
| Carving |
C+ |
B+ |
As wheelbase lengthens, carving capacity shortens. Deck flex is key too. For longboards, the TUNA is pretty good at carving. |
| Slalom |
C |
B |
Competitive
slalom boards are less than 40 inches. Anybody say Giant Slalom, or
Super G? |

We think the Mega Ramp in Temecula, California could handle our sticks. If you find a pool, bank or pipe big enough, send us the pix! |

Show Stoppers. Colossal Distinction. Everyone will drop trou and ask where you got the board. |

Obviously our customers love the big gun shapes. One even said the PYTHON looks like his favorite woman. |
| Flex |

The right amount of flex. |

Most understand, and after they ride, believe. We ran into some "can only freestyle on a 30 inch board" skate punks in Huntington Beach who didn't get it. Loosen the knit caps and ease back on the rap music and dope, fellas. |
