Oh, and you can repost a review about a product that has been reviewed already. I'm hoping this thread will help skaters all levels decide if they would want to buy a certain skateboard product.

Look at those, they have like no "inner wheel". They should be lighter.

-VERY mellow concave, I personally don't like it that much though.
