Omen Test Ride

Well...I went down to the Portland Pro Tour and Chris a.k.a. (Sluecrew) and my crew hooked up. We decided to go out on the River and give the Omen Revolt #00001 a test ride. My first impressions were that he has a solid skate and a unique design, but I wasnt going to form an opinion until I actually rode it. I rode it finless, and it rode and tracked very well. It slides the wake nice, and spinning it under your feet is a breeze. In fact, it spins so well that I was over rotating all my tricks, but once I slowed the spin down I had no problems. This board is definatley worth a look see, and I would recomend it to anyone. I already have a Liberation and an Integrity which I love both, but I have found another board I will have to add to my quiver. I will post some pictures later.
Chris thanks for the hospitality and for hooking us up with a ride to test it out. Best of luck.
Pete

Good to hear it rides well, not that any of us doubted its abilities.

And congrat's Chris, i'm sure you're pretty stoked on how your board is being accepted.

SamHill, It was great hooking up with you guys and im glad you were stoked on the board... It makes all the hard work seem well worth it finally. Although i will say i wish i had some pictures of the look on Adam's face when we were talking about the durability in the parking lot Very Happy

for those of you that are wondering... to make a long story short i decided to make my point very clear and proceed to slam the deck into the concrete over and over with only leaving very minimal scratches on the board and proving that it is nearly impossible to blow the side out of one of these decks. YES it IS that tough. But the look on Adam's face was priceless...

But it was a good time, considering the water was not that great and it was urban warfare on the river like every weekend. We will definitely have to do it again.

I wanto test ride one so bad... but SleuCrew, how are you coming on your long list of pms and e-mails?

SleuCrew, we will definatly do it again. Adams face was priceless. You never have a camera when you need it... like the guy that fell in the water at the dock... the camera is never ready. oh well.

Hold up HOld up.... did you say you procedded to slam the rail of the board into concrete without it breaking or anything? like no de-lam or anything?

numb, You are correct... Shoot SamHill, a PM if you dont believe me he saw it with his own two eyes and looked it over when i was done. Very Happy
