Comet Shred 38 Deck Review
The comet shred city 38 is the biggest of the comet's shred series and is one awesome hybrid. This board is long enough that you can put both your feet on the trucks and can still pop a kickflip. It is more of a freeriding hybrid board rather than techsliding because of its size. Smaller freeride wheels are better on this board so you don't get wheelbite. Around 65mm wheels would be ideal.

Kebbek John Barnet Board Review
I recently interviewed my buddy Jimmy about his John Barnet board. He has been riding it for a while and has
just been shredding everything. Here is what he had to say about the
board!
1. Set up?
Paris 180's, stock bushings, bones reds, otang 4prez 83a
2. How is it for freeride/downhill? (Sliding)
Great for freeride. It has micro drops that act as very comfortable pockets to whip around slides. Also, the edge of the pockets kinda act as gas pedals, making it easier to hold out big standies. I haven't really done any dh, but tuck wise, I can fit my back foot right into the back pocket corner which feels really confortable

Rayne Avenger Board Review!
A local racer was selling this for cheap so I decided to buy it and try it out.
I just happened to love this board!
Here are the
Specs:
Length- 38"
Width- 10"
Wheel Base- 28.25, 29, 29.25, 30"
In general, this board is amazing for freeride and downhill. The wheelbase options are good because the shortest wheelbase makes the board quite responsive for freeride and the longest wheelbase makes the board stable for downhill. The wheel wells are also really nicely placed. You could definitely run huge wheels with a little riser. I am riding 70mm wheels without risers and it is fine.
One thing about this board is that it tapers quite a bit in the back and people with bigger feet might find this a little bit uncomfortable.
The rayne avenger's concave is super nice. There is a pleasure dome, or W, in the middle of the board which keeps you locked in when tucking. The edges of the board are also really sharp so you can really dig your heels or toes in for slides.
I would definitely recommend this board and will be riding it for quite some time, so if you have any questions, comment on this post and I will answer pretty quickly. Thanks for reading!
