That's one i made. does it get any wheel bite josh???? What wheel base did you set it up as???? I have not even ridden one of that model yet.

He was ripping on it at hill climb and he was sick as a dog. He ran second to merrick. And he's only had a long board about three months.

Theres a nice way of telling someone your opinion... chill dude :)

Adam- nah man doesnt get any wheel bite and i have the trucks pretty loose, they are set on the longest wheel base. havent tried the shorter wheelbases yet.
i love this board, its so comfy and can hold it really well through turns.

Dudes, thanks for thinking its even similar to an avenger, Ian and Merrick, where is the love?

It is "meant" to be "LIKE" an avenger cause everyone likes to ride them, from what i have heard. But i made that outline from a stencil i drew free hand with a ruler, a pencil an four bits of A4 paper stuck together with masking tape. I plan to use that out line a bit, cause i think it looks cool. One day i would love to see an avenger in the flesh so i can compare, but will just stay in my little box and try to make boards.

If your wondering about the "bird of prey" name. Check out this clip. This bird has the best tuck of any animal on the planet. As a longboarder why not take inspiration from nature.

At about 16 seconds in you can see the shape of the bird in tuck and that is where the shape of the board and the little tip on the nose came from like the beak of a bird. They record its speed at 170 mph on that day and over 200mph later when the cameras are not there, thats over 300kph. does your head in if you think about it.
