Landyachtz Switch, Rayne Nemesis, Rayne Killswitch or Omen Pike ????

Sorry if this is the 12290934 time someone ask this again but any advice on the boards above?? I wanna get a drop down top mount board and all the research that I did lead me to the 4 boards above. I think the drop down on the landyachtz switch is a bit too extreme and the pike has a slightly better price than the others.

I am 6'2", 83 kilos, freerider, initiating in racing...

Cheers

Killswitch.

Dude i got a switch just after christmas.. and am loving it. stable at speed, easy to push, im 6'3 and 92kgs and its a perfect lenght .. my only gripe is that i had to put riser in cause i was scraping when turning and sliding.. but after putting risers in only scrap when i really lean onit during slides... other than that id get another one at the drop of a hat...fucking awsome deck... but that just my opinion ha ha happy shopping

Tks for the comment. Yeah, I tought that would happen judging by the amount of drop....What truck do u use on it?

Cant give opinion on pike cause i havnt ridden it but i have had all the others
Defiently not switch way to big of a drop and too heavy and youll get sick of it quickly (or most peopel do)
Then the killswitch doesnt feel like a drop down and doesnt have lock in liek a drop down it feels like a topmount speedboard with big w and small pockets
I own the nemi now and i love it heaps slidier than topmoutns because of the drop and the lock in is great and is also heaps light, the rayne construction mean super light board but not good durability, but it will be fine if you take care of it

so id say if you want w cancave get killswitch if your keen on the pockets get the nemi, you wont regret getting either of them

Randal 180's with 42 degree base plates.

Get a topmount killswitch!!!! I got if for christmas and by far it is the best board i have ridden! way better than the switch and the nemi! But thats just my opinion but think about it cause its a great board!

Killswitch or Nemesis. Pike has nice concave but it has flex - not a lot but I'd suggest you want something with none at all. Whatever you do don't get a Switch! Feels so clumsy.


I agree

i hope thats an old display picture maybe just buy a helmet first?

ive ridden all of these boards pick anything. just dont get the switch

killswitch = almost feels like a topmount, tiny little lump of a drop to keep foot locked down

pike = flippin amazing, but its too long for me im 175cm tall

nemesis = nice but too much drop for me 

I've got the switch. I haven't been worried about the scraping, only problem I've had is the edges of shoes catching on the ground when turning tightly. Just need to pay a 'lil more attention. Standy's are a dream on it...
