Landyachtz Loco 33 Deck review

The Landyachtz Loco 33 is the smallest in the loco series. This board is similar to a 8.5" street skateboard but it contains 9 plies instead of the regular 7 plies of a street skate. This makes the loco stronger. This also makes the board more expensive. I love this board for techsliding because it is the perfect length and width. The shape of the tails also give it lots of good pop. The concave is a little more than your regular popsicle deck which helps to lock in your feet. Hard wheels make this board an amazing techslider while softer wheels make this board a sick cruiser and freerider. You can even put some smaller trucks and wheels on the board to skate the bowls, park, and the streets. I will guarantee you will have tons of fun with this board. If you have any questions post below and you will be answered within 24 hours!

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
