The Karma isn't that bad...

I just saw a short clip on mtv2 of a pro bmx'er riding on lake tahoe and it appeared that he was riding a karma. I remember trying my friend's karma out on table rock this summer, I got wake2wake second try and re-entries were high as hell. The only thing I did not like about that board was that it was too light to spin, my buddy landed more shuvits on my skate than he has on his karma. It also felt a little narrow under my feet and it would feel better with grip. Just thought I'd share...

cutting off the kicktails couldnt even help this board. its just makes a horrible thing not a bit less horrible.

Mine was nice as hell wake to wake, and it had a weird "forward lurching" (?) feeling pop. I didn't hate it, but shuvs were impossible.

nate_, had the same experience with my gate. 360shuvs so effortless! but if there was a little wind it was just unrideable. and the edges where so friggin sharp Shocked
