I haven't owned a longboard in about 6 years, and a couple weeks ago I decided to take the plunge and get a serious setup. I just got sick of falling off my cruiser all the time cuz we have some gnarly roads here in Michigan. I was between either a bandito or the supersonic, and the bandito was sold out everywhere so I took it as a sign and went with the latter.
Took it out to the rail trail and ended up figuring out the basics of pumping within an hour, and the day just flew by after that. Did the entire 6 miles of the trail, came back, and then went down towards another one and looped all the way back to my house. I lost track of how far exactly but it was well over 20 miles and I don't even feel tired.
The board is insanely flexible (heavy flex) and it just completely absorbs the vibrations from the road and obstacles. It was setup by Loco skate shop and I didn't even have to touch anything on it for it to ride perfectly. I'll have to figure out the exact specs on it, but I know its got Bear trucks and Karmas. I'm basically a complete beginner at this all over again and its super fun lol. Definitely gonna buy a bandito when they come back in stock.
