I purchased one of these boards because of it's longer wheelbase and stiff flex profile. I set the board up with a flat front Seismic 110mm (yellow springs) and a wedged rear Seismic. Hyper wheels in 62mm 88a front, 78a rear. I use this one as a loaner board for friends who do not have a board or I will throw it in the back of the car when I am going somewhere and I might have the chance to skate. It's a great board, I love the idea that the core is bamboo and composite top and bottom surfaces. A blend of nature and science.
A lot of guys use this board to race with and Gary Cross himself uses this board to get himself to the podium many many times. It is a RACING board with a great history.
I think Comet is "up-grading" this board and it would be nice to hear a little bit about it from someone in the know who races with this model or any Comet model in this construction.
It's the most reasonably priced board out there and has all the qualitys necessary to enhance, not hinder your performance. A good economical choice for your sole slalom skateboard or even as an addition to your quiver.
