wow talk about gay. on the okcboardshop.com site like 30 mins ago it was $180 for prodigal now it just changed to $200 w-free shipping.....its still cheaper 180 though but that jsut pisses me off. and the guy who runs the site i guess sent me a pm telling me about this site after it changed. WTF!!!

the prodigal definately is on top of our list, but all ive heard about it is really what vance has said.

has anyone ridden the board and wouldn't mind letting me know how it really is?

It's sick...I'd go for the prodigal. Great pop and a very solid deck, can't ask for much more.

dietwater5, I wouldn't get all bent out of shape over 20$. The Oak's have been selling for around that price.

Actully since the guys added the 20 and took away shipping cost, your actually sving about $5-10 bucks...

Give you an example,
We sent a skate to So-Cal last week, $35 bucks shipping!!!
Are you serious!?!
Shipping cost are really out of control. Mad

They go up every January. Thats what the guy at the UPS store said.

I think its crap though.

Anyway, whatever...

Not to mention the price to get a board in the shop is higher because of shipping from the board comanies.

I think Im going to start my own shipping company and become a millinare Smash
