Omen?

In your opinion would getting an omen now for 200 be a good idea because of how old they are, and how do they ride compared to an oak and a onward divoted wakeskates?

kraus6451, kinda asking about totally diff boards here

oak= wood= awesome boards

idk anything about devotid skates though Oury and RussellB can shred them with np

but your comparing trucks and cars here bru

what works for you might not be what everyone else tells you to do

Ya i thaought they would be really different but would it be good for 200 or is that too much?

condition? , idk but your not far off from buying a new board for the same price, and if you saved up you could get a new mutiny or integ that will last longer than any of those

if your buying the omen its not going to be a steal at 200 so you have to justify it some other way
like the fact that their rare, they are cool or whatevs you need to talk yourself into it
vs
new board, longer life, bla bla

My buddy has an Omen and KILLS it!!! I tried and hated it. I do understand that it's a board you have to "learn" to ride. He tried my New and couldn't do near as many tricks as the Omen, nor as clean. It's all rider preference

Speaking as an Omen owner, I will say that I love this board. I have ridden others and not liked them as much, something to do with the way I pop ollies or something, not sure. I feel like the nose/tail of the omen makes it a lot easier to ollie, but again that is just my personal opinion. Friends that have tried it didn't like it as much as their wood concaves. The only concern I have with the board is that it does drag some at slower speeds, but I found that going around 21 or so, the board planes nicely. I can also tell you that this board is indestructible. I have hit rails a number of times on this thing, with only minor scratches to the base. I don't think $200 is unreasonable for the board. I think it was like $300 new, so if it's in decent condition, that's not a bad price. You can really beat these boards up and know they will last. I have been on the verge of selling mine a number of times (just can't bring myself to do it) but, I wouldn't take less than $200 for mine if I did sell it. *AGAIN, THIS IS ALL PERSONAL OPINION*

kraus6451, POPTART, are you talking about the one I have? This board has been sitting in my closet for a few years now. I rode it a few times on the boat and and a couple at the ranch. This board is in incredible shape. that's why 150 wont work. Sorry bru.
