Longboard Review
How long have you ridden the board
2 months
What is your setup like?
bear grizzly trucks, flipped hangars, blue stim bottom (that’s boardside for those of you that got into skateboarding after 2013); landyachtz 10mm bearings; 83mm flywheels
Typical Session Discipline
cruising, or dh up to around 35-40mph
How much did you pay?
$280 complete
Where did you purchase it?
direct from manufacturer
What were the strengths of the deck.
excellent concave, a LOT lighter than comparable boards that i’ve seen (that means the Landyachtz Evo, which was really the only drop-deck I’d seen or ridden at the time), great looks, excellent shape and size
What were the weaknesses?
first drop-deck i’ve owned, so it took some time to get used to turning
Similar decks you have ridden?
(stood on)landy evo, homemade dropthru speedboard (yes, this is a horrible review as I had no basis of comparison)
Would you recommend it?
Yes
I bought my Eleanor with my first paycheck from my first job, and I still own it to this day. It’s currently sitting on some black Randal 180’s with black JimZ Bushings (known currently as Bear Grizzly bushings), and some old-school 85mm Kryptonics. This board means a lot to me and isn’t one that I’ll likely ever get rid of. It’s a bit of a shame what happened with Julian and CLB, but it is what it is…you can’t unconfuckulate your reputation after going down in flames like he did. Still a solid board, and I’m grateful that I got to interact with him in the capacity I did on the forums.
