Just got done skating a Ishod Twin 8.25. I liked it for some things, but it doesn't suit my skating style at all.
As already mentioned in this thread, the deck lasts forever because you can skate it both ways which means trucks and wheels also wear evenly. If you skate your front and back truck different tightness though, you wont benefit from that.
However, and it makes sense looking at Ishod's skating, this is a board for someone who skates with grace and finesse. I tend to skate with brute force, so I found myself sometimes moving my front foot too far forward off the nose and smashing my ankle with the board. I just switched to a Hockey deck, so that solved my problems.
