I�m David. And I�m Riley. We�re from Longboard Technology, we�re
over here at the Other Planet Skate shop. We�re here to review the Revolution Skate
Deck.
So, the revolution deck is a micro-drop deck, with wheel cut-outs so you don�t get wheel
bite. And its got a whole lot of really subtle features to it.
its made out of laminated Canadian maple, which is going to make for an Ultra stiff
ride, which is going to make for a ridiculously responsive skate deck.
Its got a half inch concave, which is really subtle, and a smooth transition across the
entire surface. And its got these really awesome special pockets,
foot pockets. K, explain the foot pockets.
So these foot pockets are going to be because there is no abrupt transition in the quarter-inch
micro drop. Because the transition happens so much further into the deck, you actually
have this super neutral zone in the tip and the tail, for your feet to really lock into,
and really be able to drive the board around.
It�s a nine and a half inch wide deck, that�s built to rip.
So, This deck right here is actually symmetric, with a 5 degree wedge on the front, and a
5 degree wedge in the rear, that symmetrical shape is going to make it awesome if you�re
doing a lot of switch riding, or more aggressive freeriding. This board is going to be a lot
more responsive , and have a lot more carving ability than some of the other boards that
are out there. But, we also have the option of an asymmetric
deck, with a 5 degree wedge on the front, but a 0 on the rear. So the 5 degree on the
front is going to make the deck a lot more responsive in turning, but the 0 degree in
the rear is going to make the board extremely stable at high speeds.
One more thing to show you here, we also have two wheel base options.
So, what have you got here? This one�s going to be a 31 inch wheel base,
which is better for shredding and more aggressive freeriding, or if you�re someone who wants
to attack corners, this is the board.
And if you�re someone tall like me, this might be the board you want. Its got the 33?
The 33 inch wheel base, and what special about the 33?
So the 33 is going to be a lot better for cruising, if you�re a lot taller, this is
going to be the better board. And if you just want something that�s just a lot more stable
at higher speeds, this is definitely going to be the board.
And on this board you may notice something else, this is Riley�s favorite feature,
its going to be the kick tail. The kick tail is going to make for a lot more
fun if you�re just riding flatland, or you�re just pumping the thing around.
The kick tail is a mandatory feature for all of my boards, but if you�re not into it,
we offer it without the kick tail on all the boards that we�re showing here.
So the revolution deck is actually designed around the Other Planet Revolution Trucks.
So if you�ve purchased these trucks, and you�re looking for a deck to go with them,
we highly recommend you consider the Revolution Deck.
All of the board options that we�ve shown here, also come in a variety of different
graphics. We have over here, we�ve got Mercury, which
is� Do you know anything about Mercury? It�s the small planet? It�s the closest
to the sun. That�s all I know about Mercury, but there�s the Mercury graphic.
Here�s the uh� Saturn graphic. What do you know about Saturn Riley? That�s what
they named all those rockets that went to the moon after. Ok, that�s good enough for
me. We�ve got Saturn, he�s got wings and a
scythe. And, over here we have Neptune. Neptune is
the god of the Ocean I believe, Like King Triton, and it�s a pretty sweet graphic.
But, our favorite is the Mars graphic. And whats Mars? He�s like the god of war,
or troubled times. He�s like keeping the dead in the underworld or something, I don�t
know what�s going on. He�s all about Chaos. Yeah� Keeping the universe in Chaos.
So if you like all of these options here, these boards can be mixed and matched, to
find the optimum setup for what you�re trying to accomplish. And if you check out the Other
Planet longboard shop website, you�ll be able to purchase any one of these decks, $95.
That�s a pretty dang low price for a deck isn�t it?
for the Canadian maple, and the amount of features, and cutout, and CNC�d shape you�re
getting here, that�s a killer price. Sweet.

of them. And if you click like on this video, it would
also be super sweet. So we�re Longboard Technology, and we�ll be seeing you, on
