"When I got this board it had Gullwing Alpines and Arbor wheels. I tossed the wheels and trucks. I put on some Indy 149'S and a set of Comet wheels. Ahhhh much better. The lower center of gravity made this board come to life.
This is one of the most beautiful boards ever made. It is a true classic. But, I would not use the board to seriously bomb hills. I have cruised it on some mellower mountain roads and it was very fun. As far as pools go, I would not do it on this board, the tail is too narrow and the way the board is cut would not work for me in a pool (9x33/34 is pool board in my opinion).
I love this board for a cruise around my neighborhood or mellow downhill leisure ride. It feels really good to be on the board. I really enjoy it. I just do not consider it a high performance deck. There is a kicktail that allows this board to function quite well in the streets. You can slappy this baby to hell.
All in all, I would say this board is a must have in anyone's quiver because it is such a fun board to ride. When you just want to go out and have some fun (without getting too technical, fast or deep), this would be the board you take out. Guaranteed, it is a conversation starter everywhere you ride it. This board is worth every penny."
