BEST!
SKATEBOARD!
EVER!
Seriously, man...super light, sexy shape, all terrain friendly.
Hookyourself up. You'll be stoked that you did. Especially if you hook it up with some Indys and BDS Black Death Skullwings. |

Wait a minute...have you seen these?
SMA Bennett Hirada model. Same material as the Blackbird. Looks like a bit of a cooler shape. Or maybe I'm just digging that nose. |

| The Bennett OWNS! the shape is killer and the mold and size is choice. the nose and tail kick ass. My only beef was with the blackbird construction. it was a bit flexy and twisty. the tail eventually warped to the side because of the way that my foot position was. Also it got splintery after a bit and it hurt. Fiberglass splinters are a bitch. in 7 ply i would buy another in a second, but i dont think id roll the blackbird again. |

I find that hard to believe, Shralp. And it's not fiberglass.
Bennett is the Style King!
I carry the whole line of SMA composits...

my Harada is definitely flexier than the 9X33 blackbird or the Popsicles... not BAD flexy; just not as stiff...
I think the Airplane/chick one is 8 1/2 X 32 1/2 |

32.5" x 8.5" - 14.25" w/b
Some flex is a good thing--you can really pump speed out of it. |
