yes you can...

makes it a whole look easier and why are smothstar hes had that one for 3 years charging hard and wrecking the **** out of it and it goes strong

Ahhhh it all about making it easier. If you want to skate, buy a proper board and put in some time. You may enjoy the sense of a achievement. What's up with everyone trying to make things "easier".

This Board does stuff no other normal board does, i understand where u are comming from but if u ride one of these then you will see why people enjoy them so much

Its life mate; people always want a shortcut these days:

Don't want to exercise - buy a weight loss pill
Don't want to work hard - buy a muscle gain 3000 shake
Surfing is too hard - buy a SUP

^
haha!

Haha Pay that one :)

i assume you only know one person who sk8s then.
pffffft post a vid up off you sk8ing them and let us see how good the sick things really are.... or take it dow to a skate park let the groms ride and post up a non edited version off their responses...then i will retract my statement that they are rubbish

there are about 10 of us that ride them and i admit that when i first rode one i found it hard due to instability but by the end of a day this was an advantage and i understand this board is not for everyone but it has its uses.

Your parents can afford to send you to boarding school and you're looking for
sympathy ? Then again my school fees were only $45 per annum when I went to high school. So I guess I am $19,955 ahead - I think.

hmmm true... suppose ill end up with good schooling

but not taste

what do u ride then ? a penny

My 8 year old son got a penny last week for his birthday - not cheap.

they cop allot of crap but there good boards for there size but there good for there size not that id ever ride one

I've ridden a smoothstar and found them super fun. Especially if you want that ecentuated carving feeling (there is only so much you can loosen your trucks on a standard).

I've not ridden them in a park nor have i bombed hills on one. But just carving on flats is fun and along the path.

You can speed weave to get momentum on them just like on a surfboard. You can do really tight hacks and free the board just like you can in the waves. Round house carves aswell.

I''d recommend them for any surfer whos not much of a skater. PS i cant ollie for ****.

I have skated and own one of the surfskate.com/ which are 'kind of' similiar in the truck function but not the same thing, in a park and it was 'ok...' weaving and banking of the bowls and quarters but nothing special and a little sketchy due to the narrow front truck. But the weaving and hackability are almost the same as smoothstar but you do need a super smooth surface.

Yea i agree it doesn't take long to get half decent and they are a bit different i suppose it isnt for everyone but i love them. what did u think of the vid ?
