I've got both, my vote is SST. The Hampson is sick, simple strong wood concavenothing wrong at all. The SST is something else, it just works for me I guess, would be nice to have the smaller size, soon enough.

They are pretty different decks. the concave and basic shape is the same though. i personally prefer the sst. it was awkward at first going back to a normal wood concave from a bilevel. But as a wood concave the hampson is killer. Really good feel and ride. The 40 is also a much better size for me. But i just love that pop and ride of the SST.

I cant wait for the 40.5!!!

I've got myself a little problem as well..

I can't decide if i want the 42" sst like right now or the 40.5" and wait till june.

My season ends in september so waiting a month to buy a board while the season only lasts 5 is a big decision. Also i broke ALL my other skates so a good friend gave me a kampus flat, nice deck for sure but not as solid as i'm used to... what to do..... oh yeah i live in europe and shipping costs are a b|tch Smash
