[gnarsack9two5]

what does it mean when it's koa?

[tacticsboardshop]

@gnarsack9two5 Koa is a type of wood.

[gnarsack9two5]

@tacticsboardshop So like what's the difference between koa or just getting the regular gt version?

[tacticsboardshop]

@gnarsack9two5 there's either koa or bamboo.The difference is the top sheet.

[6TheMorgan6]

what kind of grip does the board have?

[ANGRYTOMATO17]

Is this good for beginners cause I'm getting one

[sleeve318]

@NFfingerboards wow!. learn your roots kid. this isnt tech decks.

[tacticsboardshop]

@NFfingerboards just cause I don't get sideways sliding this board doesn't mean I don't know anything about the board... -Benson

[daggering1717]

Hey i have a question, i've never longboarded but i do surf. Im going to boarding school and i want a board that I can bomb around campus but also to to the nearby town which is down a big hill do u suggest this board

[TheYouKnowWhats]

This board seems a bit chunky... Do u think it

[TheYouKnowWhats]

This is great! I have been looking for a longboard with a tail and i finally found one!

[kilian]

[MrKittyVideos]

ahahaha it looks warrped xD

[MZproduction100]

Please if you can review the Stella ornate please!

[8ball951]

prob a stupid question but can you ollie, shuvit, stand up slide with boards without the griptape? & is there a griptaped version of this awesome board?

[tacticsboardshop]

@8ball951 you probably could, but just get a real board if you want to do tricks and stuff.

[ElCaballo500]

@tacticsboardshop can you slide on this board?

[tacticsboardshop]

@ElCaballo500 yup.

[ElCaballo500]

@tacticsboardshop Its about time! i think i got my dream board!

Thanks so much!

[PoorBros]

@ElCaballo500 would u get the bug or the hybrid

[JustCallMeMario]

@8ball951 It has griptape(if thats what you wanna call it). It has the recycled glass stuff as grip

[screenscanner]

@8ball951 you could just put grip tape on it yourself

[JustCallMeMario]

I was going to the store for an Arbor Bug, but i came across this gem. This is my first board. I've tried riding other boards but i was very unbalanced and fell a lot. Right away on this board i was riding perfectly. Its very easy to get used to. Very stable. I'm loving it. Very good for beginners. I just gotta get some REDS so i can replace those crappy ABECs.

[TheNahrstedt]

Top truck on backwards. lol

[tacticsboardshop]

@TheNahrstedt nah, just reverse kingpin style.

[daggering1717]

@tacticsboardshop this or axis for cruisin around a big campus

[SuperKoolaid65]

those wheels and decal would look great on a arbor axis koa board

[tacticsboardshop]

@PraPraNigga it comes with grip, it's not a sheet like regular skateboards, but there's grip on the topsheet.

[southpasadangerous]

does it have clear grip on it??

[tacticsboardshop]

@southpasadangerous yeah, although it's not like a sheet, but the topsheet is grippy.

[southpasadangerous]

@tacticsboardshop thnx for answering my question :) that board looks so sick!

[metyler29]

....i dont think he knows much

[tacticsboardshop]

@metyler29 why do you say that? ask me anything about this board, I'll answer your question. -Benson

[metyler29]

@tacticsboardshop it's not that you dont know your facts. it's just, you say the exact same thing about every board you review "good enough to slide, cruise around, and bomb down some hills"

[tacticsboardshop]

@metyler29 Yeah because most of these are generic longboards that will basically do whatever. If they were highly specialized it would be easier to point out their strengths and weaknesses but for the average kid just looking to have fun on a longboard these fit the bill perfectly.

[HiTherePlanet]

Really i would like to see you bomb a hill on that thing. You dont know what it means to bomb a hill do you. LOL

[ABFSlongboards]

i comment

[pandapimpbabys]

I need to purchase a long board. summer crusing here i comeeeee!!

[Sandwhix]

what cruiser would you recommend for getting around and going down some hills but not too big

[tacticsboardshop]

@Sandwhix this one would work just fine.

[Solarcoreg]

Now that is one sweet looking board.
