Rode my Omen today

The Ninja · Guest

This is how my first shuv went.

Idea

Then the water caught my toes on my back foot

Cussing

But, seriously, I really like this board. Its so much fun. Especially on all of my shuvs. I also really like the width and weight. Can't wait to ride it again!!

I did alot of researching lately on it, I saw alot of people had a hard time with it. I dont know though for some reason it just felt natural, my first ride on it I took like 4 passes along my shoreline without falling, and did almost every trick except for my fs bigs. I could ollie on that thing all day long, because when u get a good one and feel that tail pop up and get flat.. man thats the best feeling in the world.

i lvoe my omen too. do you have a Revolt or an Effigy?

The Ninja · Guest

revolt ftw

same here. it's a great board. the reason some people don't like them is the 5-stage rocker. it seems to hinder ollies a bit. still a kick ass board!

The Ninja · Guest

hinder ollies? I actually have higher ollies on my revolt than any other skate. Very Happy

I actually feel like I get higher ollies too, but they don't seem to float as far. Have you ever ridden a cassete bi-level. So sweet best of both worlds. Height and distance!! Very Happy

Vance Collins, Welcome to the club Twisted Evil

A lot of people weren't digging the rocker for ollies and stuff. I actually sort of have small ollies on it but when i get a good one, it's GOOD. The way it scoops and swings on shuv tricks is really nice as well, and it just feels really natural riding. Like you're just gliding across the water. Slashes and carving is EPIC on it. I seriously think the board is much MUCH more controllable of any board i've ridden.

Let's see some footy Cool

the omen is not my kind of board, but i dont want to get into another argument with the omen owner about it.

Vance Collins, we met once for a short moment in time. We never got to ride though and seeing as weve both been out of the scene for a while we need to get together and shred.
