Felt so good to have a brand new smoothly laminated board. Everything about this board is great. Even the bearings are pretty close in quality to the Chinese produced reds. Grip tape was phenomenal. Have had it for a year now and still no complaints. Don’t do many tricks besides Ollie’s and the occasional failed kick flip. If you’re gonna upgrade something litterly just upgrade the trucks. They’re still pretty good quality though I’ve just seen better. Can’t beat the price though!
