Rayne Vandal longboard

The Rayne Vandal is Rayne's newest longboard and it's really tearing up the downhill and freeride scene, I was little dissapointed that it didn't have kicktails because the pictures kind of looked like it would but, nonetheless it's an amazing short wheelbase speedboard, and that's all you see the pros on lately, in fact, I've seen the Vandal being debuted in a lot of races this year so it's probably going to be a really awesome up and coming board. The short wheelbase gives a lot of agility on those technical roads, and although it can feel kind of odd at first if you're used to a large wheelbase mastering a shorter one can really up your cornering game, and maybe even save you from overturning on that super sharp hairpin one day, also sliding is much easier to brea into but will be a slight squirrelier than a long wheelbase, but not only is it fun to slide these because of the slightly harder difficulty but once mastered you can really pull out some amazing slides that just won't happen with a longer wheelbase, and if they do, they'll come out a lot slower. I recommend the Vandal to anyone that's looking for an amazing short wheelbased top mount board.
