    Managed to grab a Rayne vendetta and avenger from the Rayne end of year sale, any of you guys like much about these boards?

    As in say with the avenger, is the w concave really off putting when pushing for long distances etc?

  • Callum O'callaghan-daft

    my spelling and gramma sucks bad, common known fact, but do try and make sence lol...

     

    if you asking if anyone likes them, your pretty safe, Avenger is you stock standed does-the-trick top mount, if you like top mounts, you'll like the avenger (not me but lots of melburn) LONG LIVE DROPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

     

    Vendetta is Tricky-Slidey, dont wanna go to quick but good fun slashing around on, nice and light and little bit of flex. set it up right and you will forget you ever owend a dervish....

    avenger is really not the ideal push board however as far as i know (not sure which model avenger im thinking of) the w cave is pretty subtle and shouldent be too much of a bitch, but then as i said you probably dont wanna be pushing long distance on it anyway...

    I am thinking of also getting a demonseed or a hellcat. You prefer either of the two? I am 5'9 and weigh 60 so i am light s.o.b.

  • Ben Shane

    i've got the avenger and form my experience, it is awesome to bomb in, bitch to push, mainly cuz of height, unless you're really tall. Would be much sweeter on lower trucks (i'm currently using crails) and why the hell are you buying like 2-3 boards at once? -.-

    btw, ur abt my build. =]

    Oh yeah, well if you guys didnt know Rayne has a factory sale end of year clearing boards with minor blemishes in the graphic etc, for half the price. I got the avenger and vendetta for $240 US and thats including shipping. So i figured if i didnt like one of them I would sell them on here for the sale price I got for.

    i had an 07 one and loved it, top mounts are dope for carparks and DH, but tend to be kinda sucky for pushing and sliding

    sounds like you scored a good quiver, hit up hemleys for some running gear for the decks, i am in love with gunmetal double barrals and wheels like sector 9 race forms for topmount speedboards, its a nice combo because the trucks are fairly low, they are nice and stable and the wheels are smooth sliding but on a top mount have nice amounts of grip

    Def looking at getting some new trucks and bushing combinations from hemleys when they ship in January sometime, cant wait to do come down to a couple sesh's when they are all setup. Cheers for the reply Sean

    So I couldnt help myself and a demonseed as well. I really do need something for long pushing trips and something plenty stable at speed as I start to get into dh.

  • Ben Shane

    um... mcderv, i think the website pricing doesn't include shipping for the year end sale. I could be wrong. They'll contact you via email about the shpping etc. =s

    Oops I was wrong in that post below where I said including shipping nice pickup. I contacted the guy from rayne about it before i bought them and he said expect a 60-90 charge rather than the default paypal one of 35, this is for international orders that is. Still works out a decent price though.

    Hey people, I'm a skater from Melbourne. I just got back from a few years over in Canada where i was doing lots of down hill and loving it. None of my skater mates here longboard. I'm just wondering if there is much of a scene here? i've seen some rad spots out in the dandys that i would love to hit. Is there ant good one in town worth checking out? any good regular sessions?
