Honest Review of the BB+

To clarify, I don't technically have a BB+. I do, but I also don't. What I have is a prototype, with a Poplar core, Fiberglass, Carbon Fiber and Hard Rock Maple.

But this board is great for a multitude of reasons. Number one being that it's so spacious.

My BB+ is a 29" which is 1" longer than the regular BB+'s length.


And man is it fun! I have the BB+ Platform with an ECOLITE torsion tail with 96a Tall Fatcones, Glass drop front, Poppy 55° 125mm with Riptide Bushings in the 75a Green Barrel APS, and a 70 purple APS Cone. All with 75.5mm Alpha Wheels 


I have my angle set to 59°, and with the Alpha Wheels, I feel like I can definitely pump this bad boy. 

And hey look! I can pump it! Pretty alarmingly fast, as a matter of fact. I was actually pumping it so good that I am now considering bumping up my diameter size to an 80mm.

It's also really comfortable. It has the same concave as the AZ, and a link to that article is right here. But to summarize one of the points I made, it feels like a cloud beneath my feet.

It also has a pretty good wheelbase Size, at 23.375"

So you know, it's very good for pumping!
And pump it I can!! It's got a good comfy flex to it, and man I can't recommend it enough!!

Also the graphic is pretty dope too!!

Honest Review of the X26 Setup

The GBOMB Setup Review 




So, I got a GBOMB Setup. 

It's Super nice. 
I got the X26 Platform with an ECOLITE torsion tail with 96a Tall Fatcones, Glass drop front, Poppy 55° 125mm with Riptide Bushings in the 75a Green Barrel APS, and a 70 purple APS Cone. All with SpeedVents for Wheels, front is an 80a durometer, with the rear being 77a. I have the wheels setup with these different duros to minimize slip. 

It's a fun little board. I have my front angle at like 59° . (Poppy's 55 + 4 from adjustable angle bracket), and man I tell you what, it's a very fun board. 

My only gripe with it is that it's too short for my stance. But other than that? It's a great introductory deck to get started in the LDP world.
