So my first set on a flexboard was months ago behind the boat. I hated every minute of it, twitchy edging, kinda slow, and cased every jump. I resigned myself to thinking the redeeming quality of flexboards may be their performance on rails. Not. I can definitely press better on my substance, and the new base material on the SS Reflex is grippy as HELL. That and when you ollie, you leave the water about 2 seconds later than you would on a normal board. That was a fun learning experience, considering my first ollie was onto, or rather into, the side of the flat rail

LakeIolaLuke, first off, the substance is one of the best boards ever. Second off, I think it's just a riding style thing. I personally love my SS Response just as much as my Substance so far, and I rode the substance for 5 years.

LOL!!
I hope and pray that your first ollie wasn't an attempted backlip onto the flatbar that was unsuccessful because that is one sh*tty fall.

LakeIolaLuke, Shut up douche, no one cares about your sh*tty 2388 post opinion! Why don't you man up and spend 8 hours a day on internet forums like me? Then maybe we'd value your input
