if you're looking for a deck you probably just have to get it straight off them. although they have been having major stock issues with the apex lately (sent out wrongly made flexes, delays etc). not sure if they've fixed it yet. if they haven't be prepared for a long tedious wait and plenty of unanswered emails etc.

if you do get the apex, i recommend you get a flex stiffer than what they recommend cause they are flexy and g snapped his after a month of riding. all he could do back then were shuvits sooo didn't take alot for it to break.

their trucks are pretty fun if you're into that whole carvy cruising scene. takes a bit of maintenance though.

Yeah thanks guys. I'm not 100% looking into buying at the moment. I just wanted to learn more about them because they have some mad videos and the decks really look good, but no one seems to have them lol.

Cheers.

I am not that keen on dudes who promote longboarding without a helmet .Skateboarding isn't a fashion statement it's a sport . You don't see guys on the WRC not wearing a seatbelt do you??

i have an apex 37 with S8s and its really good
the trucks are actually frecken amazing if you like carving. i would say the trucks are better than the decks
heaps of people reckon OS are shit, but thats a bunch of bs cause hardly any aussies have them or have ridden them
i have the black tension springs and there tight enough to carve like hell but still be stable for bombing.
however i would like to get the red tension springs because you can break the wave cam if you tighten them to much

The Apex 37 looks intense! But I don't want their shitty trucks, I want Paris or Randals. Yeah, I noticed they don't wear helmets,,,but it really isn't about them in this case, I don't care if they don't wear them. I just want the board, not their safety precautions. I would still wear mah helmet if I got one of their boards.

ado ussed to stock them im not sure if he still does. dont bag it if you havent tried it. my brother has an apex 37 and it carves way differently than my dervish as much as it pains me to say it. the turns are much quicker and sharper
