so i had a session on that Chico board last night...did not enjoy it at all. Something real funky with it...not sure if it was just old and had been sitting around for too long, or it was just me skating in the cold...but i was not getting any pop from it at all, there was no bounce in the deck...felt dead. the shape and feel of the board in general wasnt to my taste, i might try smaller trucks, like 149's or thunders and see if it makes a difference...but first impressions weren't good for me. maybe i'll get use to it...
