yes, but Real hasn't released anything new as far as deck tech since then. looks like berrics has one and is going to do a review.

Companies try new things all the time; shapes, glues, whatever, and Real has regularly put out interesting skate "technologies" without getting too cheesy about it (Reazy-C being a perfect recent example). Some work, some don't, but if LowPro is worthy then you'll surely see it stamped on their decks soon enough.

Don't expect feedback though, anyone who has been allowed to try one has essentially sworn to secrecy about their experience with it, similar to an NDA when working in software, film, or any industry where an info leak can blur the lines of fair competition. If anyone who has tried a prototype posts on here that they love, like, hate, or provide any other such functional feedback, then they would be doing a serious disservice to DLX, so I wouldn't expect any qualitative feedback yet. If anyone does break the secrecy agreement, they deserve to be dragged into an alley and handled appropriately.

That being said, Real isn't known to release sub-par products. I have heard that their renewal decks aren't as good as their primary full-priced lines, but I've never tried a renewal so don't know myself. Point being, DLX knows their shit so if they move forward with it there's a reason for doing so.

i dont know anything more then anyone. i was just figuring it was an improvment in someway on the easy-c thing.
a bunch of kids have been asking me if i have a more mellow concanve available. so thats probably something that is in right now?
so its low, cause its mellow, and its pro, cause it would be on pro named boards?
just my guess.. probably overthinking it.

I don't get the point of super mellow concave. It doesn't had to be insanely deep but I like to feel the concave when I'm riding.

I understand the Reazy-C because Real kind of had a rep for lots of concave, so they can satisfy both markets by having mellow and regular.

Anyone ever try the Consolidate "Black" concave when it was around? The boards were kind of weird looking because you could see concave on the nose and tail, but during my all-tranny-all-the-time phase I had a couple of those and loved them.

the new shape is got some camber to it like a snowboard. like the nose and tail would touch first if it's on the ground. I've got some coming. we'll see. apparently the teams been riding them for months so they have been tested.

Is this supposed to make you pop higher since the nose and tail will be lower to the ground? I'm just wondering if that will make them more prone to breakage. it could be cool if it works like that though.

thats like saying low trucks make you ollie higher.... no....
it all about how these curves and bends in the board provide a more rigid surface to pop off of.
this seems like the reverse of that thing they did a little bit ago... uhhh... fuck.... OH! rebound construction. thats it, i think...

That's pretty strange that those are for sale, anyone seen them anywhere else? Maybe the new ones are the "Lower" Pro... :p

My last deck was a test model, looked just like the Hardy Low Pro that's on the SoCal shop site, but it was definitely not an 8.5" board. More in the 8.06-8.18 range. Can't/won't say what I thought about skating it I will say that this talk about "camber like a snowboard" and uber flex... well they will be widely available soon enough so you'll see that when you grab it off of a shop wall nothing feels drastically abnormal about them to that degree. Whatever Real has done here isn't some kind of cheap gimmick. When you skate it... well, it's a DLX deck so you really have nothing to lose by trying it for yourself to see what you think.

That P2 shit, in my opinion, is horrible. It never feels like your board is broken in. I like the feel of a board that's been in my trunk for a week or so, when it's not all brittle. Makes me feel like I can do any trick I'd want to.

did you actually own on or just tried out a friends or something? when i first got mine it took about an hour or 2 to get used to such a lightweight deck, but after that it was probably the best board ive ever ridden. shit was light as hell, strong, and it maintained its stiffness for weeks. it literally felt brand new after 7-8 sessions. theres alot of gimmicks in deck construction but to me p2's feel like an actual improvement on regular boards. this low-pro shit looks aiiight i might have to try em out if i see em at my shop. i fucks with real & they know what they're doing so hopefully these boards will be dope.

Loving the tiedye! I'd make that my first Real if they release it to the public.

It's on their website as one of the upcoming models, but it's noted as an 8.5".

Mine (pictured below when new) is more like 8.06 and 8.18. I didn't like the graphic at first, it was bright and I don't dig tye-dye, but it grew on me. It's not quite so pretty now.

This is the first complete I built out of all new parts (bearings were a week old) in many years, I usually switch things out as needed but the timing just came together on this.

I've been switching out between Street Burners and Park Burners depending on what I plan to skate, but one thing about my current set-up that I'm super stoked on is SwissFire bearings. I usually ride Spitfire Burners and swear by their bearings, but I scored a new set of SwissFires for almost nothing and they have to be the smoothest bearings I've ever had, hands down. Also fast as shit right from the package with no additional lube, and completely quiet. I very highly recommend SwissFire bearings if anyone wants to go up to the higher-end stuff, w/o going over the top and spending a small fortune on Bones Swiss Ceramics or something.
 
As far as the board and Low Pro, nobody has anything to lose by buying one, that's all I'm saying right now.
