Agreed. The destroyer is a totally different board to the EW. For starters the EW is much softer and alot lighter. The destroyer is more of an all mountain freestyler where the EW is more geared to hardcore street and park and not too mention it's a sick jib stick. I've ridden both boards and they are amazing at what they do but if you already have a Custom then I would personally head towards the Eddie....you will not be dissappointed.

You're either Forum, or against 'em.

the forum destroyer eddie wall isnt a destroyer with his graphics

its a mixture of the forum destroyer and the youngblood .

its a good board but the destroyers bit better for more advanced riders its a bit more agressive a board to ride.

Awwwwwwwwwwwww man im just the man you need to talk too!!haha I had a K2 www weapon and ive just sold it tonight because i bought the Forum Eddie Wall board which is just the Forum Destroyer with Ediie Walls's graphics, I used it for the First time tonight and IT IS RIDICULOUS!! Best board ever,i never could properly butter but i nearly mastered it tonight,it pops amazingly and i managed to get my tail press manuals to nose press manuals dialed.If you want a board to jib on then you've got to buy this board.

FACT.

it'll destroy your custom no pun intended there lol

its nice and flext when it counts so for rails and buttering its quite easy to pull but it doesnt chatter at speed either. i tried a custom this season and it was nice but felt quite ordinary to ride.

I have a Custom 162 already and want sommat a bit more bendy and fun to play on. Will this just ride like a custom or will it be a bit flexier?


Thanks again for the help

Okay...

I was gonna get a Capita Stairmaster 156 from trademe (NZ) but the person selling it has let me down. They will do me a 154 Forum Destroyer for 150gbp (nz$400).

Has anyone ridden this seasons Forum Destroyer? I know little about Forum boards.

The other option is I get a refund and bugger the budget and go to the local shop and buy a Rome Agent/Solution or a Bataleon for about double that money.

Any thoughts? Forum or Rome or Bataleon?


Thanks again for any advice.

Nic
