The wasp isn't that fun its a little to long and just not really what I was looking for when I got it. Some of the reasons that I didn't like it is that is wasnt good.

These bearing last forever spin super fast and long and have what seems like no resistance when spinning, These are super easy to maintain, If you have the money and are tired of bearings that don't spin for five minutes get these.

These wheels have a super clean drift with just enough grip for some mellow DH and great freeride, I would recommend these.

Slide A's are some of the best tech sliding wheels in the market only problem with them is there is no hook-up at all, Its actually a joke between some of the people I skate with when talking about drift characteristics.

Pretty awesome board. IMO i'd get the topmounted one but drop through would be sick too. Hate that its 239$ but it's worth it I guess. Love the concave.

LOVE THIS BOARD. Saving my cash money for this pure sex machine. Concave is super comfy, perfect length and great amount of drop. IMO i'd run Paris 195's on 42 plates wedged to 45* each side to make extra sickness. Can't wait to get one

Weird de wedging confuses me. Not a big fan, needs wedge in front. Way to overpriced and just not that great. No concave either. I prefer shorter boards, but this just doesn't work. But it's all personal preference.

I have an evo (not carbon) and the only difference is that this board is way lighter and more expensive. Evo's are downhill MACHINES and I love mine to death. Bear 852's (or if your rich 09 smokies 35/50 split) make it perfect.

SUCH A SICK STANDY BOARD. Just constant 180* standys back and forth are super easy because of the short wheelbase/awesome concave. Paris 180's with some yotangs fat frees make this board super dope for stand up slides. If u love slashing, go for it chap

Pretty good all around board, really comfortable rocker. 42 randals with some low duro elims makes this an awesome combo for freeride and downhill. Little low on concave in the back, but not a major issue. Love the price. If you want a good board all around, go for it chap

WAY TO LONG FOR ME
My friend has one and he let me borrow it for the day and it does not fit my body. I am 5'8'' and I've never had to much footspace till I rode this. I'm used to my voodoo doll so it was a definite change. Love the concave though. If your a big person, go for it chap
