Anyone ridden this bad boy? What do rollerblade wheels feel like on a longboard anyway? How much more push-efficient are they? Please chime in if you have experience with the Shuttle 46 or similar setups (if such a thing exists). This board is intriguing!

it is the most amazingly effortless push ever. they are expensive though i asked scott to build one for me it was 180.00 plus another 100.00 for the setup if you want him to add it for you. but it is a great pusher but nothing else. i would love one if i had the money to spend on one.

Is it possible to NOT drift turns? I'd love to try one.

from my riding it. it is only good for flatland pushing and nothing more. it can't turn very well and i would not ride it for anything more then the ultraskate.

Interesting. I'm tempted to pick up inline wheels and try it on another setup just to see what that's like. I'm sure I'd be disappointed, like 99% of the times I try to innovate, but there's always that 1% when you find some magic!
