I'm you want to do twisty spider monkey tricks then I agree with Slide. Small board with small wheels. But if you want to blaze the rough then you need to upsize to bigger wheels/tyre combo. Check out some of my vids from back in the day. In Twilight cruise i'm riding a rock garden at 3 mins. https:...

Great to see a mutant in production & having seen the pre-production version Sam was using it does look v nice, just a pity this doesn’t have fin boxes and bigger fins I tried all sorts of fin combos including monster fins and came to the conclusion that 55-60mm quad fins give the best grib/slide c...

I'll put in a vote for ozone enduro. A sweet do it all kite.
