Alright, well basically I got a chance to join the LF team out at the delta recently and had the opportunity to grab a few sets on the upcoming SST deck that you might have recently read about.

I'm not gonna comment too much on how it rides aside from saying that it feels like a traditional concave, but packs some rediculous pop. Hopefully in a week or so I'll have something written up that will combine my thoughts with those of the rest of the local LF skaters who also took the board for a whirl.

For now, some pictures:
top of the board, obviously...

and here it is again!

and now the bottom of the deck.

separation between top deck and bottom deck

more separation between top and bottom of the deck

sharpness of the rail at the middle of the deck

sharpness of the rail at the tail end of the deck

How do you remove or switch the fins? Shocked

Looks really nice though. Are the production ones going to have a single piece of grip tape or separate ones like that board?

edrex, Either you can get yourself one of them snazzy wrenches that gets into those hard to reach places...or you can just unscrew the top deck from the bottom deck.

not sure on the grip situation.

...and there most certainly IS a layer of PBT on the bottom of the deck.

There are graphics on the bottom of the deck because you can see it, obviously. Wink
