Earthwing Road Killer Overview with Scott | MuirSkate.com

[grasso1157]

was stuck between this and the supermodel drop platform, went with the supermodel though

[JScollective]

everyone needs to shut up about this board looking like all other boards. you will say that about every other drop board, this board feels waaaay different than the nemesis or the switchblade. not all drop boards were created equal you know...

[jazzin15]

its more like a Rayne Nemesis, 98%, top mount, drop flatform, same shape.

[THENOLANREGNIER]

Looks an awful lot like the Bustin Ibach to me

[Rellepog]

01:40 FLATSPOT!!!

[VpVanja]

@Rellepog eeer no flat spots there friend.

[Rellepog]

@VpVanja You can imagine it though.

[BaxterNWoo]

[sambonfante1]

...No top comment... THIS IS MY CHANCE!

[fr0zdify]

that last part was so sick it was even turnin heads.

[fr0zdify]

how much would just the deck be?

[GoneGuitaring]

@anthonyastruc You are retarded. They copied it because it's a symmetrical drop deck? There have been drop decks way before the switchblade so get your facts straight before you start ripping on good companies.

[NJStreetSurfers]

1) buy landy switchblade wholesale

2) repaint

3) slam EARTHWING on the back

4) profit

[GERMANCRAPPER]

@NJStreetSurfers WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT SYMMETRICAL DROP DECKS HATER

[NJStreetSurfers]

@GERMANCRAPPER COPY AND PASTE. CHILL ALTHOUGH I DO LOVE GERMANY

[GERMANCRAPPER]

@NJStreetSurfers I didn't copy and paste anything.

[NJStreetSurfers]

@GERMANCRAPPER why are there 2 of the same comments to 2 different people

[GERMANCRAPPER]

@NJStreetSurfers *palmface*

First, if you think this is a copy of the LY Switchblade you are sadly mistaken. I have ridden both and the concave, ride height and wheelbase make them feel way different. Just because it's a sym. drop deck doesn't mean it's a copy of anything.

[Rellepog]

@GERMANCRAPPER NJStreetsurfers know what they're talking about.

[anthonyastruc]

way to copy the switchblade

[GERMANCRAPPER]

@anthonyastruc WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT SYMMETRICAL DROP DECKS HATER

[101rbk]

0:55 nice BEAT !! and very good VIdeo !

[kylemullen612]

@kingtomist it's called "hold up" by Minnesota

[LewisC213]

reminds me of the landyachtz switchblade

[aces061]

Ive got 82a nersh candies and hav been tryin to break them in for about 3 days now but the slide is still sketchy. These are the first wheels thatve taken this long. I hav never riden a pre-broken in wheel. Help?!

[hhhfhfhfhf1]

@aces061 keep goin at it. nersh's lips are pretty tough

[TheMonkeyMan016]

Cults are the best

[clower129]

niceeeeee

[kingtomist]

Song?

[thanamesTACTLE]

@kingtomist Literate?

[SuperLongboardingPRO]

niiiccccceeeee



[AppleYanka]

This is the same hill as in the s9 slide video isn't it?

[MountianBros]

I am now buying soon

[Brahcolli]

Are the darkspeed slide gloves gonna come in on muir, i see you wearing them in the vid

[Gordack007]

Dude.... that's the perfect place. 1:14. If you want to cool off from longboarding, then you just go surfing.

[purpleyurp]

@Gordack007 hell yeah man,, that would be the life

[alexrizzoritz]

where is that, that place looks awesome

[dan12pax]

that bit at the end was sooo scetchy.

[DiAmOnD595]

sporting the band-aid on the knee like a boss.

[shane7footmidget]

ya eh, well the switch is bigger and better.

[shane7footmidget]

@ stefano1251 get a landyachtz!!!

[shane7footmidget]

im sorry, it looks like they pretty much stole the design of the switch by landyachtz...cant they come up with something original?

[awesome12345100]

@shane7footmidget uh no this has much less drop and different length and wheelbase and no gnar bars. this has concave that goes nearly all the way to the drop.

[Jobryan205]

@shane7footmidget The only similarities between this and the switch really is that they're both white dropped decks. not many similarities at all tbh (ive ridden both). Landyachtz didnt invent the drop deck bro.

[suchgr8hieghts]

@Jobryan205 so what do you like better and why? im having trouble deciding on a board and im trying to get as many opinions as possible. i need to learn to standup slide with confidence, so something to grip my feet like hell, nd easy to initiate the slide.

[Jobryan205]

@suchgr8hieghts definately the rk. the switch is crap imo. no response and no grip at all

[suchgr8hieghts]

@Jobryan205 and you've deff ridden both boards? and you'd say the rk has just as much foot locking power, and easy initiations into standups with better control over standups? nd then just better at a couple other things like carving (even tho ik they arent meant for that) nd some ground tricks(shuvits and such)

[Jobryan205]

@suchgr8hieghts Yes, definitely the right concave to lock your feet into. The switch initiates slides way to easily and doesnt have much control. Personally, I wouldnt buy either of the boards though. Both are dropped way to much IMO, giving them less response and control as a topmount or microdrop. It just feels weird to me. Also, doing tricks on these boards is going to be a pain in the ass, and carving wont be good. If I were you, Id get the new Five Mile p40 warhawk, or kebbek ben debreuil

[suchgr8hieghts]

@Jobryan205 damn, i really thought i had my heart set on either one of those boards... i mean, i guess its more of a personal preference though because people say they love both and blahblahblah... the Five Mile A-10 Warthog looks pretty fuckin awsome too, ive never checked their boards out before. i dont know man hahah im guna try to see some of these boards at a shop if i can too nd see whats comfortable, cz the switch has a HUGE drop, looks awsome and seems like itl boost my confidence ALOT.

[suchgr8hieghts]

@suchgr8hieghts i just want to feel, right. this spring and summer i really want to bust out standys and smooth speed checks.

[Jobryan205]

@suchgr8hieghts huge drops give you less control while sliding. It doesn't feel very good imo.

[suchgr8hieghts]

@Jobryan205 yeahhh thts wat im thinkin...especially since i like to take the train to NYC and skate miles all day, so the switch may get pretty damn uncomfortable after a couple hours or so. but it is a flat concave so it wont be too bad for pushing i guess... IDK FML hahahaha picking a new board makes me want to do smash my head thru a wall

[kitchin5]

get nelson spindrift 10x better

[shane7footmidget]

the switch is better.

[smalltownlongboards]

what wheels would u guys recomend for buttery, easy slides please reply

[MichaelJohnsonVideos]

this looks identical to a rayne nemesis?

two nice boards..

[stefano1251]

What should I get earthwing or landyachtz switch

[hardlandingskate]

That is a fricking EPIC setup

[noiztank3000]

@Rellepog dude when i say its like the switchblade i say the not by judging it w cave cause i could say a top spin is like a omen the actual shape its self the 1 inch drop on it a spud/switch has a 2inch drop i compare it to the basic shape like original beast is pretty much a top spin just cause they put two gay tails on doesent mean they made a whole new design

[GERMANCRAPPER]

This board is flippin sweet ヽ(ｏ`皿′ｏ)ﾉ

[livefastify]

sweet vid! CHECK OUT NOTOWNPROD LONGBOARDING!! BOMBING AT 45MPH

[2377437]

I'm getting this board soon also with caliber trucks, and I'm wondering what bushing setup would make these the most carvy. PLEASE RESPOND!!

[megavideostream]

@2377437 hey you venon bushings supercarves, caliber its super downhiller, get some paris trucks, some rush ceramic and ballut otang wheels mennn!!

[noiztank3000]

@mufmaxtv dumbass, i dont even ride a switchblade i risde all five mile boards... dont be a douche cause i have an opinion

[cocorecord1]

can i use centrax with this board or i gonna have wheelbite? cuz i wanna buy this board but i have centrax

[michahm96]

it looks alot like the landyachtz switchblade, i like it!

[TheCoolMexicanGuy]

you guys should review the supermodel

[michahm96]

@TheCoolMexicanGuy dude, i fucking love the supermodel, its the only board i ride!

[TheCoolMexicanGuy]

@michahm96 which kind do you have? 8ply or 9ply?

[michahm96]

@TheCoolMexicanGuy imk kind of a big guy(6'1 and 15 lbs, so i went for the 9 and i like my boards stiff

[michahm96]

@michahm96 *175lbs



[TheCoolMexicanGuy]

@michahm96 yeah me too.. im 6'1 180lbs, Im just worried that my 9ply will get speed wobbles going aroun 45 mph

[michahm96]

@TheCoolMexicanGuy yea, depending on how tight your trucks are, anyboard will wobble

[BERGERSBURGERS]

song?



[MrYellowunicorn]

looks like the switch 37 and 2011 combined.

[Th3ConcreteKings]

[dong2phat4u]

Man this guy rips. Seen him tear up some monster bowls as well. Tough old dog.

[Airsoftkid852]

[111even111]

[Maxhasty]

muirskate is the best!

[AlienDude651]

This Earthwing or the Sector 9 Mini Shaka? Which would you guys recommend?

[longboardetc]

@AlienDude651 both i hav a super shaka and roadkiller

[AlienDude651]

@longboardetc Which one's better for sliding?

[longboardetc]

@AlienDude651 also depends on ur riding style

[longboardetc]

@AlienDude651 mini shaka is better then the super shaka probably

[longboardetc]

this board is sick like if u agree

[Skateryanproductions]

some please anwer how easy do cults flatspot??

[ryan12guitarman]

@Skateryanproductions They don't really... unless you hold out your slides at 90 degrees for a long time

[Bzcarlos21]

ive never seen an old man riding longboard like this guy no offense

[itzR3FL3X]

I was trying to decide if I should get the 50* Calibers or 44*...But after seeing this, I think 50* will be just fineee :) Thanks man!

[FAlongboarding]

scott the beaeaeaeaeaeaeaeaeaeaeaeaeaeae­aeaeaeaeaeaeaeaeaeaeaeaeaeaest lambach

[MrRockgod742]

umm can someone say better quality bustin ibach?

[grwal628]

That board looks sick! but I can see it more like the Switchblade and the Switch combined together in one super fun board! (y)

[longboardetc]

@grwal628 and made by a better company that cares about their boards

not saying that landyachtz is bad

[estriker5]

Fuck muirskate they gave me 2 bad reds bearings on my rayne vendetta..

[muirskate]

@estriker5 Heya! Sorry to hear that. We'll take care of it. Send us an email at contact[at]muirskate[dot]com and we'll send you out some replacements. (We're not always on YouTube, so it's much better to email us to get it taken care of.) Thanks!

[estriker5]

@muirskate hey srry about that that was my friend! he got mad cuz he found out my bearings were bad cuz i dont know alot about longboards cuz i just got my first one for christmas (; so yea really sorry about that!

[fizzzzaa1]

@muirskate Such a nice reply to such a rude comment. Whats with that Muirskate? @estriker5 if you have a problem, you can email them and ask nicely

[wakeskater04]

@estriker5 great comment, you didnt think to just give them a call and let them know what happened? you handled this like a baby. Even after being insulted on their own video page they still want to hook you up, good on them.

[estriker5]

@wakeskater04 hey im really sorry!! that was my friend who said that cuz he was on my account.. yea really sorry bout that (;

[bboytobz332]

@estriker5 now you sound like a dick, don't you?

[supersmartfood]

@estriker5 maybe instead of being a bitch, you should ask nicely, were all human, we make mistakes

[Nickalapolis]

@estriker5 they dont send u bad bearings bones does

[ESSALongboarding]

@estriker5 i Dont think its just Muir, infact i think its Bones themselves, i got 2 rusty reds bearings... they weren't even lubed.

[cocorecord1]

road killer or LY the switch

[bigjacob1999]

I just got this today , it kicks ass

[MrJiveturkey123]

what is the effective foot platform

[BADDPICKLE]

@OrionLong finally someone i can agree with " no kid its not a fucking switch look at the specs before you make a stupid grom comment."

[thechillout133]

@MrAlphaBagle yeah i won a switch awhile back, its way too low. it feels decent if you have like big wheels, but in some ways it contradicts good form.

[noiztank3000]

@adonut4u smartass aye and they dont bust in the middle they bust near the forks

[DJvinny99]

looks really similar to my landyachtz switch.....

[Kolonalxkrapsak]

So is this a slide board?

[MrKittyVideos]

I wonder if earthwing got the rights to incorperate other companys letter designs in there 'road killer' design..

[noiztank3000]

id rather get this than a switchblade switchblades break to easy

[adonut4u]

@noiztank3000 YA DEY BRAKE TO EASY CUZ DEY HAB ONLY 9 PLIES OF WUD RITE?? THIS BOARD SHUD BE REEL STRONGER THANK YOU FOR YOUR INPUT

[mufmaxtv]

@noiztank3000 Dumbass. this board isn't even like the switchblade. It's comparable to the switch, not switchblade.

[NotSoEvilCinema]

@mufmaxtv No not really. If you top mount the switchblade, there basicly the same thing. The switch has 1.75 of a drop. The Switchblade has a .88 drop, the Road Killer has a 1 inch drop. Sure it looks more like a switch, but its actually more like a switchblade.

[bboytobz332]

@mufmaxtv not even comparable to either. complete different dimensions to both. stop trying to compare it. fuck

[mufmaxtv]

@bboytobz332 yes the dimensions are different but the board shape, is the same. so theyre for the same disciplines.

[bboytobz332]

@mufmaxtv nope. The switch has much more drop making it extremely swoopy. You can't say two things are for the same discipline because of their shape. Now the landyacthz urban assault is the same discipline as a landyacthz evo? wat

[Rellepog]

@noiztank3000 But a switchblade is more stable and controllable and has agressive 'W' concave.

[noiztank3000]

nice switchblade:)

[voodooxcxl]

my friend snapped his going off a mini ramp and hes a twig :(

lesson of the day: dont jump things on a drop platform lol

[LeakproofPanic]

OMG A WHITE DROP BOARD...ITS DEFINITELY A SWITCH OMGZ

seriously, shut the hell up.

[GeorgeGomes13]

I really want this board. it's beautiful!

[mainestreetsurfers]

exact setup im getting

[pafreeriders]

@mainestreetsurfers wow.

[mainestreetsurfers]

@pafreeriders what is that supposed to mean

[pafreeriders]

@mainestreetsurfers Well who is this. Max or zach

[mainestreetsurfers]

@pafreeriders thacher. but i didnt post that comment. another kid on are team did his name is jack

[pafreeriders]

@mainestreetsurfers Alright your cool thacher is jack the one with the dervish.

[mainestreetsurfers]

@pafreeriders ya



[mainestreetsurfers]

@mainestreetsurfers Thachr go on FB

[pafreeriders]

@mainestreetsurfers that kids 170 wtf

[mainestreetsurfers]

@pafreeriders ya but hes out longboarding having fun.. thats what its about right.

[mainestreetsurfers]

@pafreeriders and its a flex 2 and I'm 170 so.....

[mainestreetsurfers]

@pafreeriders neither, this will be my first NEW board i have gotten everything used from friends

[chancerbob95]

looks like fun. i feel like my switch has too much drop but that looks just right

[tigerpowns]

deciding on next board its pretty much come down to this or the switchblade, ive tried the switchblade and liked it but this looks similar, main thing i want to know about is the drop, is it more like a nemesis really sudden drop or a switchblade more gradual drop thanks

[mississaugalongboard]

Are cult classics a buttery slide and do they cone fast?

[worstskateboarding]

try pressing alt while likeing this comment

[kerrber0303]

@worstskateboarding

my keyboard doesnt have alt :P

[aznsurf98]

@worstskateboarding wow people are a lot dumber than i thought.

[worstskateboarding]

@aznsurf98 yes yes they are

[xfive59]

@worstskateboarding i have a mac, no alt button ;)

[laxinjewjew24]

any wheelbite? if i got it with 70mm flashbacks would i get any wheelbite?

[dontmugurself]

@laxinjewjew24 not at all bro. I've never ridden this board specifically but 70mm or less = no wheelbite for 99.9% of boards similar to this one. anything over 72mm and you might be pushing it.

[oliw333]

could i ride it with 42 degree randals without wheelbite?

[SpindleBmx]

cool video, but whats up with the fucken porn music

[hhhfhfhfhf1]

guys this boards better then a nemi or switch, its made with love, in beautiful nyc not mass produced by canadians-the chinese of longboarding. it has a 1in drop not a 1.88 like a switch and stronger materials and ighter and hods more setups without biting. this to you fanboy dumbfucks.

[Kooovin]

@hhhfhfhfhf1 lmao wtf? the chinese of longboarding?

[hhhfhfhfhf1]

@Kooovin yeah mass produced stuff when you could make it for cheap in the good ol' usa. thats why canadas like china when it comes to bardmaking

[squashuax]

@Ilucaslongboarding any vids of it?

[Longboardmaestro]

how much drop ? 1" ?

[iLucasLongboarding]

This boards awesome ive already beaten the shit outa mine and its holding up nicely.

[CaseyCMF]

Dumbasses who say its a switchblade. Its not drop-thru scrubs. Its more like the Switch than anything and even that is a bit of a stretch.

[squashuax]

@jackharre sick setup! I might get one for Christmas. I'm thinking bear 852s, reds, and maybe 75mm race forms. I might get caliber 50 white and golds tho. Can't wait for the vid!

[squashuax]

@jackharre make sure to do an unboxing and areview!

[jackharre]

@squashuax will do mate, i allready have the unboxing video and as soon as i get a feel for how it rides ill do add a bit of a review to it. but so far so good! i have mine set up with 70mm venom tweakers, 50deg calibers with seismic tekton bearings and its pretty boss...

[jackharre]

earthwing road killer is the shit!! ordered mine the other day for some sidewaysness in new zealand!

[Dukecornflakes]

wow its almost exactly the same as the ibach just with W concave and 30 bucks cheaper... thanks EW!!!

[MrPedroelermitano]

Landyachtz made it before dude. Its call the Switchblade.

[DakotaAFlowers]

Nice board from Earthwing. I like how all the letters on the deck art are from competition companies

[mulvimanz]

they stole that g from otang! im so cheesed now. leik omg. wow

[pinkheadphonesguy]

@mulvimanz and you didnt notice all the other letters from different companys?

[dynastyflygon]

why would buy a nemesis for 200$ when u can get one of these for 100$
