I was thinking of picking up an urban rail and wanted anyone input on how well the boards hold up, how they ride, how much they weight etc. I guess they're the closest thing to my 484 41" concave deck which is falling apart ( go figure)

goride, That Oak seems like it would be close to those types of decks. What is it about it that you dont like????

the oak kills but i just find popping the 484 and vinyl easier than the oak. The oak has the most pop w2w and tracks the best w/o fins than any wood board I've ridden. But like i said i just like the way the 484 pops, i just feel like i don't even really need to try. Certain rocker patterns work for ppl and me and the oak just aren't clicking.

goride, Yeah I get that too when I ride the Moulders I just got. I like the way it tracks for sure but to be honest I like the way my 06' Impulse pops much better.

i have a skate background so everyone is saying its the way i pop it, thats why me and an omen dont get along because you have to keep alot of your weight on your back foot and majorly preload it. Plus the omen feels like im being dragged through the water. But my buddy loves his omen and he rides soo much better now that he got the omen. To all their own
