intothexsjados, kickflips can be easily spun by any rider on any board. It's the rider that does the trick, not the board.

I can have a Success in your hands allowing for 5 to 6 business days for shipping.

I haven't ridden an Oak, but I know that they're solid decks and super cool guys. Sattes are wider on the nose and tail, I'm pretty sure.

Oaks are defiantly a solid product

I've not ridden either, but the Oak's to look quite nice. I would look into one. Otherwise, I've been riding an Omen Revolt, and it is killer!

The Lifetrap was an early favorite, but now I am thinking about getting the BenKirbyRyanBen because of the wider tip and tail. How do you Oakies (and others who have tried it) like that skate?

che blanc,

In poco tiempo mi amigo. En once de Febrero. Cuando tu vas a mi casa nueva?
Cuando estoy en la tierra del manatis, necesito patino aquatico contigo! Te gusta la idea de mi?

The Bug,

Sick!! Solid as all get out, great shape and concave, near perfect a-sym, feels like it could be the spawn of the '06 Prodigal and the '04 Cassette Four-Trac. Can't complain about that, if you like riding wood boards then I'm positive you'll enjoy the you'll get from this stick. BKRB all the way!
