Mod or Impluse?

ok so i'm looking for a new rail board, but at the same time i want to try a shorter board to see if it's better for flip tricks... and i don't know what to get

so the question is.... reliability + risk of me not liking the feel or break ability + liking how it rides?

Gnarly Dancer 42, why just lf, especially if you know it wont last? try an oak or sattelyte and diversify.

Gnarly Dancer 42, good point. then get the mod. i heard the concave shape is amazing

I dug the concave on the Mod. It's a sweet board but I can only find it for MSRP... I went with a Vinyl for my composite/rail skate...

I got an 09 Impulse last August and it is still rocking! If you are going to be hitting rails all the time the Mod would be the way to go.

the new obscura is pretty sicky

I would agree that the new all composite SST is sick! I love the rail they put on it!!

cjbecker, no i didnt like it....... i dont really agree with the concept of bi levels

big + heavy = too big and heavy Razz

What kind of rail did they put on it? Hmmm... gonna have to head over to LF's website......... I've thought about getting the new composite SST as I could sell my bi and my composite for one board and only have two boards in the bag. Smile
