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!

VITAL MEDIA LONGBORD REVIEWS!

DB Stalker Longboard Review

The DB Stalker is a very nice topmount. It is basic topmount shape with variable wheelbases, wheel wells, an Arch Bar W, and a mini tail. The Arch Bar W is a pretty new and great feature of this topmount. It is similar to the Avenger's pleasure dome in which it acts as a W concave so you always know where your feet are and so you don't have to hang much for slides. This W is very small and only at the back so it won't give you cramps while pushing.

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

Longboard Larry Double Kick Penguin Board Review

The double kick penguin from longboard larry is an amazing board. This handmade board is made to perfection and is pressed with maple, bamboo, and a layer or fiberglass, keeping it strong. It features huge kicks, perfect for any trick, and a nice concave with drops, keeping you locked in during slides. The standing platform is somewhat small, but is very easy to get used to because of the pockets. Also, this deck is very light compared to other boards that are the same length. It is definitely worth the expensive price. Since it also has a good sized wheelbase and very little flex if any, you could even set it up for some light downhill!

***DK Penguin info from LongboardLarry

The DK Penguin locks your feet in pockets like the Penguin but has a 2" shorter platform and some awesome kicks. Still has 5/8" drop into the bath tub concaved pockets that lock your feet in then back up 1/8" to a radial concave down the middle of the deck. If the pockets were not enough we added kicks to take your freeriding to the next level.
We press this deck with a layer of fiberglass, bamboo and maple.

Comet Ethos 39 Review

The Comet Ethos 39 can really do everything! This larger size is great for freeride, tail slides, kickflips, boardslides, and even some downhill. The good sized wheel wells allow you to run bigger wheels and really helps prevent wheelbite. Another thing I really like are the cutout rails under the board. These rails really lock your hands in during grab slides and also provide you with some comfort when carrying the board up the hill. The concave of the Ethos is not a super sharp concave. However, Comet is known for their really comfortable concave. The rocker and concave combo is comfortable while cruising/commuting and also locks your feet in naturally during slides.
