Commuter - Longboards for general cruising, ideal for experienced skaters and beginners alike. Never make the boring mistake of walking again!
Top Mount - The classic skate mount. Trucks are mounted from the top to sit flush with the bottom of the board for that proven ride and feel.
Wheel Wells/Flares - For the boards that don't need full wheel cutouts, wheel wells are beveled out of the board to give the extra clearance needed to avoid wheelbite.
8-Ply - 8 plies sandwiched together for solid stiffness and control.
Hard Rock Maple Construction - This is the standard of all skateboards and longboards. Hard rock maple has proven to be durable and responsive underfoot.
150mm Slant Inverted Trucks - These trucks come with reversible hangers. They come stock at 50°, which provides greater stability at high speeds but if you want to execute tighter turns flip the hanger to 54°.
All Slant trucks are guaranteed for life.
Globe 69mm 83a Wheels - Hard enough for sliding through turns and drifting, yet soft enough for riding over craggy streets without getting hung up on rocks.
ABEC 7 Bearings - ABEC 7 bearings are highly precise and turn faster for longer. A precise bearing means that it has a higher tolerance to heat caused by friction.

This board is so beautiful and versatile for many long boarding activities. It is of high quality and very speedy, although it loses speed just slightly more.

Now for the full review:
This board is great for anyone looking for a good cruiser/commuter Longboard for any travel. City travel is a breeze since the bearings are decent for stock. However, two shields on two of my bearings came off, but who cares?
It is great as a pintail, and great for carving at both the 50• and 54• hangers. It is also good for a person like me trying to get into downhill. The dirty gold trucks look amazing, and the red/white stripe design looks better in person!
This board is great for beginner downhillers, commuters, and carvers. The 76mm wheels are some of th biggest I've seen and are very grippy. They are very smooth on all terrain like the usual cracked streets of NYC. This board is good for anyone.
The size is perfect for a person who wants a medium sized Longboard.
