Earthwing Drifter 36 (Rider Review)

Have you ever ridden a board that left you laughing at the end of a run?
The 36 inch earthwing drifter is a blast to ride. I’m glad that I got the 36” drifter, because the pockets are placed just past shoulder width for a tall (6’2”) person. The kicktail pockets are right outside the truck bolts; having my stance outside of the bolts required some adapting. This board requires really good weight distribution, otherwise the front or rear will pick-up in a slide. The pockets feel AMAZING.

Soda Factory Clutch Lampchop Deck Review

Every Clutch board is unique and handmade personally. The simple, amazing designs and quality are what makes these boards great. The Clutch Lampchop is a particularly great board. It features nice concave with a generous drop. This locks you in while going fast and also when your are busting out huge slides. This board is good for everything. If you want to win races and win slide jams all in one board, the Clutch Lambchop is for you.

Drop - 0.6"

Width: 10”

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!
