Anyone got any reviews about sk8kings jester retros, g-kings (gary holl pro model) or primo slide decks?

Retro Jester: Its a single kick, which turns a lot of people off (I like single kicks personally). The nose is a bit small for my taste. Its got a wierd tail shape. The concave of the tail is nice, the cut of the nose is nice too.

Primo slide: Its really big and odd shapped, not a fan of it at all.

Holl: never rode it, so no reviews.

But you should check out the other freestyle companies for a shape and size you may like better. Buying a prebuilt complete may be convient, but it probably wont be worth it in the long run. The trucks they use arent that great, neither are the comonants.

Oh, okay... now I get ya...

Know anything bout smallschool boards? I mean in general, because after they're custom shaped to your specifications...

How sad... off-topic on my own topic =)

I love Small School. The last few boards I have had were Small Scholl single kicks. Jeremy is great at shaping boards, and I love the concave of his tails.

Continuing on with this digression...

what size/shape deck u ride?

Cuz I'm thinking the "classic" or "goke" cut with what I call rail wings (a slight dip in the middle of the rail, causing the board to look a little funky, but in theory easier for old-school kickflips, and rail spins of any kind...) would be nice...

I ride a deck thats 27" long and 7.5" wide. Its got a tail similar to the Butterfield tail(but before that deck came out), and the nose is more round(kind of like the Heartless B**** deck).

Hey dude, I got the Hearless B*tch deck.... And I have the Jester.... I wen't back to the jester because of the control I have with a single kick, the nose is perfect for railfilps and pogos and 50-50s, as is the tail... Its also great for Footwork witch I do A lot of... But I agree with FFC, the tail is odd, But the wood is so good Ive skated the jester for 7 months and its still strong.... But If I where you, I would get the Smallschool single kicks :)

I dont have any videos of me skating(I was told there are some online somewhere, but cannot find them). But Tyler Self can vouch for my existance as a real freestyler(though not that great).
