i know there are some that cost more, but i thought this was an outrageously priced composite board.

I'm so tired of the term "true skate feel."

Slapdown, i agree with you.

has anyone rode this board? no way would i pay that.

true skate feel IMO only applies to kick tails. if the tail has the same angle as a skate deck then ya. alot of concaves don't really have a kick tail so i think it's applicable, but needs more definition to it.

imo the only really "true skate feel" decks are bilevels, the top concave on most of them are pretty much exactly like skate decks and more pop

i just want to land a backside 180 and kick flip. i always slip out on the back1. seems like to much weight on back foot when i land. anyway, wrong thread for that but i was already here

mojo, and idk how good you are, but if you cant do a bs 1, i wouldnt try worry about kickflips yet imo.

not that good. i'm very very close on kickflips though. landed many with feet apart but fell off. i can't go backside on a skateboard either. just awkward for me.
