Just got my first PS Stix board in over 10 years after riding nothing but Generator and Chapman. I got a GX1000 board.
Within the first 10 minutes of riding it I have determined that this might be the worst board I've ever skated in 20 years.
First, the tail is way the fuck too square'd. You can feel the board heavily scraping the ground every time you try a flip trick, and flip tricks feel really sloppy and slow. The squared nose doesn't bother me, but that tail is useless. It didn't look that bad at the shop, but once I got home and gripped it I had an "oh shit" moment.
Second and worst of all, this is the shittiest wood I've ever skated. The board feels like it was pressed with old rotting wood.. no stiffness whatsoever. You feel the tail flexing when ollieing. It feels dead; no pop at all and you can feel that thing flexing just pushing around, it is just so soft. Zero torsional stiffness at all. My 1-year old Hotel Blue (Chapman) that was beaten to hell and somehow never snapped feels much stiffer.
I've got about an hour on this board and I'm getting a Real this afternoon. How PS has that big of a following is beyond me.
