Having a bit of trouble finding a review from non-shop or other affiliated sources.... anyone git something to say?

They didnt change much between 2011 and 2012 so not much hype about them. Search for reviews on the 2011.

^^^^^^
Yep, the only reel change was the price.
Good freestyle board.

craggers drop into KSS in mebourne they have them and maybe even a demo board.

great board, biggest improvement was the pads and straps. the board did not need any changes!

I grabbed one from KSS just before a trip to Sri Lanka in May. Absolutely loving it. I had a cardboards free style before that. The pads were a massive improvement. Can't say that I've tried heaps of other boards, but there's nothing I can fault about it.

Try the fx also very lively !!
