Mindless Gothic Gen X Skateboard Black - 9"

I bought this one as I have a popsicle board that I love, but it just wasn't working for riding around on due to the bad paths by me, and I didn't want the hassle of swapping the wheels around when I wanted to cruise and then swapping back for tricks. This was on sale, do I decided to go for it.

I was worried that the wheels would be too small to go over the cracks in the path, but it's fine! I have a lot of bumpy paths near me, and this just rolls over them (although you do feel the bumps, they just don't throw you off). At one point I rolled over a stone the size of an apricot, and the wheel was still able to handle it! It's no good on cobblestones, but other than that, it can handle most paths.

It is heavy to carry due to its size, but that's fine as I can just ride it basically everywhere so I don't have to carry it. The shape means you can still do kick turns and stuff easily, although it's a bit harder than on my other board just because of the extra weight.

I had a slight issue with the bearings when it arrived, but I emailed Roller Snakes and they were so helpful, immediately apologising and sending out new bearings. Excellent customer service!

Overall, this is a brilliant board that I'd definitely recommend. It's great as an all-rounder, as it's more versatile for tricks and stuff than a regular cruiser, but handles paths better than a popsicle board. The trucks were a bit tight when it arrived, but I just loosened it a bit with my skate tool and it was good to go.

Ok, so it's been about 35yrs since I last boarded but my youngest son has got into it, I always loved it so decided to join him and grab a bargain! The set up is great, I wanted something I could get cruising on quite easily to start with and this fitted the bill. Big board, lovely wheels and bearings, smooth and quiet. Loving it so far.

This board is blissful to ride, glides over any bumpy surface like as if it was smooth. Also for £40 in the sale its a conplete bargain but if you're reading this when its back to £130 full price it is still absolutely worth it. Arrived quickly and good condition, postage was signed for so they can ensure nobody steals it. Would definately reccomend

Great product

I'll be 50 in a few years so after getting back into skating with the new skatepark being built a normal sided board just felt too twitchy. I tried a wider board but figured I needed something longer and not wanting to spend too much to figure out what I wanted, I bought this. It's a 16" wheelbase not whatevers advertised, I've changed to stiffer bushings on the trucks as I'm close to 100kg and put on some harder wheels better suited to the skatepark. I can ollie more comfortably and higher and just feel more confident on it. I'll probably try a 15"-16" wheelbase deck next.
Speedy delivery from rollersnakes upto Aberdeenshire and asked for a review more than a week after once I'd got a feel for the board. I'd happily buy from them again, unless my local shop stock something more suited to my phatt azz. Cheers Fraz
