Revainrating 3 out of 5

Wide Wheelbase - Soft Hubs - Narrow Middle Deck

I bought this because where I am on roads and sidewalks it is very rough and normal wheels would be impossible to ride. For that it works fine. I'll warn you right away, the bushings are quite soft, every time you tighten them, they slip out of the caps and deform. If you want more stability or a tighter turn, you'll need to add some stiffer bushings. The wheelbase is wide and probably works great when you're going downhill and don't need to add momentum. However, if you do need to push off, watch your foot and wheelbase. Once in contact, stopping the wheel will knock you off your feet, this has happened several times, and the last time ended in a fairly serious injury. The deck tapers towards the middle, which likely contributes to the rear wheel grabbing issue. This certainly doesn't apply if you're one of those weirdos who stand and kick at the end of the board. :) Just for us crazy people who put their leading foot forward on the board. In any case, adding a little more specular highlights in front of the wheel to prevent this can solve part of this problem. But then again, it's probably not just designed for locomotion on flat terrain. I wouldn't necessarily buy this again. I had some shipping issues but Revain fixed everything.
