If you had the choice, which deck would you pick?

The other thing to look at is the style of concave. The horan concave is a bit tighter--there's like 3 inches of flat before you start hitting the concave. The team has a larger flat spot. I really dig the horan, but the oak team has definitely stood behind that team deck. So really, it's about the features you're looking for. HOpefully that helps some, or gives you something else to think about.

Volcomstone167, how can you say its the same exact board when its clear what me and esnow just wrote Question

length, width, and concave is different = not same board

EDIT:
also on oaks website under 2008 decks: team is higher priced...DO your research

horan pro
width- 15.69
length- 41.4
msrp $242.99

team
width- 15.8
length- 41.5
msrp $247.99

Tight concave hurts my size 13 feet, so that and a little wider is better..

volcomstone167 might have been thinking of this year's horan.

Ive tried both, but only over a couple of winch pulls so didn't really get long enough to give em a good test. Found both pretty good thou.

The Horan for $109 shipped is still up there.. search for it on Ebay and you'll find it. Someone better scoop up on that..

junglesmacks, Its been there for a while as well as the Team. I think they have extra stock left over they are trying to get rid of.

They both are killer! If I had a little extra cash or didn't have more skates than I could ride I would pick up another 08' Horan, they are really nice.

I've been watching the Horan for quite some time. Every time I log into my eBay account, I have to justify to myself why I don't need it right now but that price is ridiculous. I know if someone gets it before I do, I'll be pissed yet I won't just pull the trigger. I need a good concave though so I'm still twisted on what to do. Too bad Arson hasn't started shipping boards yet!!!

No kidding.. I mean.. for this price you could mount some trucks to the fkr and just rage the downhill on it.. Smash

..and by the way.. looks like both deals are gone daddy gone.. check Ebay.

god damn it. I thought about this all day at work today and decided screw it. Why pass on the deal. Oh well, it just wasn't meant to be I guess. Time to wait for another deal. Sad

IT'S ALIIIIIIIVE!

Get it while it's hot..

EDIT: I just emailed the guy and he replied back that he has only 3 Horans and 5 Teams left..

Can anyone tell me how the Horan or Team holds up to rails? I ride 99% cable and this year, I'm focusing on rails so I need a skate to hold up. I'd love to get my hands on an Arson but that doesn't seem to be coming anytime soon (mid/late summer which is near the end of my season in KS) so I need a board to get me through a 4 month stretch of 2-3 days per week of riding.
