Byerly Blend review

ridehatzic · Posted: May 11, 2009 1:18 am Post subject: Byerly Blend review

I got a Byerly Blend from the shop I work at and got a chance to ride it this weekend. It was the first and only bi-level I've ever ridden and I was impressed. I was a bit rusty because it was my first session of the year but I could definetly feel the differences in the deck. First thing I noticed, obviously, was the pop that it had. Way more than any regular deck. The weight will get some getting used to but I'm sure that once I get it dialed, it will work in my favor with extra consistency. Overall, as much as riding a regular concave deck looks a lot better, riding a bi-level is definetly a lot of fun.

How does this board edge? Is it like the byerly legacy because I always thought that that board edged horribly.

Exactly what I'm trying to say, regular decks look way more skate style. Whereas bi-levels look bulky and sloppy. The deck edges fine, I don't really notice that it's too slow. Regardless, it pops like hell which is what a bi-level is supposed to do right? No complaints here.

I beleive what he is saying by "Danny Hampson" is that mr. dan slays everything on a bi-level and makes it look skate styleeee to the max. Word.

wattsbutter hit the nail on the head. I can't stand seeing Danny on concaves, or the SST for that matter. I really really really really REALLY miss his style on a real bilevel, and i think he really made bi's look amazing on the water.

Slapdown, yes. he looked really good on the cassette bilevel.
