Editor's Notes
January 23, 2019:
Added the Bamboo Pintail Tiki Man for its flexible deck, elegant inlay work, and extra-wide wheelbase for superior stability. Also included the Shark Wheel Fathom for its dropped platform, which lowers a rider's center of gravity, as well as its wave-designed wheels that serve to limit friction on a variety of terrains. The risers and wheel wells on the Quest Super Cruiser provide additional ground clearance and also work to prevent sudden stops, so it's a great option for downhill racing. I also thought the Yocaher Spirit Wolf had an especially attractive design, while its durable alloy trucks withstand rough use. Also included the Sanview Cruiser due to its quick break-in time and ability to handle sharp turns. Finally, the Volador Freeride offers an eco-friendly construction, while its reverse kingpin trucks can be adjusted to one of two angles to support a variety of riding styles.
