What about it do you like?

It's light
It''s rigid
It's REALLY poppy

Tail is fine, it's the nose. It's hard to describe but right as the curve starts near the nose tip it makes an abrupt curve to finish off, there is also a funky thing going on right at the kick; bunch of us were talking about this very thing today, nobody liked the shape past the front truck.

I can't post images anymore from google for some reason..

the other shape they do looks much better.

Yeah the one I tried felt really springy....

How's it wearing?

No noticeable difference in wear compared to anything else out there...I've been trying not to manual (as I suck at them) and would only destroy it that way with only 5plys.

Yeah, it's suppose to last longer too.....

Wish they had put the side by side comparison up sooner, I would have gone for the other shape without a doubt.

You have the pulled but prefer the full?

one question here

when you place the board on a smooth surface a la nose slide or tail slide, does the board rock? what i am trying to ask is if the concave sort of continues to the nose/tail or if it is one of those board shapes that have been common lately where the tips are completely flat. I really hate it when they are flat (i am not talking about overall concave- just on the nose/tail), it gives me the impression that i am skating a flat plank of wood that should not be a skateboard. Thanks

Damn I can't hang with the shape of that nose.
I, too, would fear razortail as well.

I was riding the the one on the left, 249 and it's gross; the nose is just shit. It actually looks like someone made it in woodshop
