yeah, those boards are pretty nice. even though they are hyperlite

thats a good price for that board. but the board is huge. most people ride around a 41" and the catalyst is about 45"

they are big skates
the price is good

wakemitch, lol, a catalyst is hardly 45" long, the longer one is about 43"

for reference - 114cm ~ 43"

123456789, if you skateboard, you'll want a smaller board. 40-41. a 43 is gunna be huge for you, its more of a wakeboarders skate. you want a 41.

ya giver i bounce a catalyst 112 and its a good skate to learn on. like previous ppl have said its bigger and thats due to its pro rider Grubb who designed it for more W2W tricks.

the conversion is about 2.54 cm = 1 inch. so a 112 = 44'' approx. (at least that was what I was told way back when in math class)
