Review on Speed Demons Rasta Vertical Hanger by Alicia Lynch

Revainrating 2 out of 5

For kids, beginners only

Bought to play again after 12 years. The board seemed pretty solid. The sockets don't fit. They basically exploded after just a few days of stunts, mostly on level ground. After tightening the kingpin nut, the washers bent so much that the bush tightening could no longer be adjusted. Two very large pressure cracks appeared after several days of pinball tricks on level ground. The entire bottom layer with a pattern begins to peel off after two weeks. Trucks are a bit heavy. The bearings are OK after greasing. Wheels are only okay on smooth surfaces. The quality of Speed Demons isn't what I remember it was 10 years ago. Terrible work with glue. Don't buy this unless it's for a young child just starting out. It will not withstand strong shocks for more than a few days to a week. Also, being a 9-ply board, the board is generally heavier.

Pros
  • DESIGN DESIGN: Double kicktail design offers more control, allows for a variety of tricks and easy braking
Cons
  • Fits
