reliable and fun freestyle board
af Nico, Brand Marketing, Blue Tomato, 1. feb. 2023
Since I banged my old parkboard against a rail, making it unrideable, I needed a new board for all around freestyle fun. I had the chance to snag the Lurking Class Face Melter and since I like wider boards for their stability, I chose the 158w. With my 179cm and anything between 80-85kg, this works great for me, especially for jumps and when I want to go faster.
It's a very "classic" shape, regular camber, 100% twin, no unusual outline or sidecut, so it's a very predictable ride forward and switch and handles exactly like you'd expect it to. I would have liked a sintered base for more speed, but extruded is easier to repair if and when you hit those early season sharks... It's medium flexing, so pressable with the right amount of strength, but stable enough to hit jumps as well. It does exactly what I want it to, without any surprises. It doesn't have too much pop, or my legs are getting old, but it works for the mediocre freestyle moves that I can do.
It's a great board for people who want to advance in the park without breaking the bank. If you aren't a speed demon and like a predictable ride without too many fancy features, this one's for you!
