Trevor Preston reviews the new 2012 topmount deck from Rayne, the Vandal. Suited for every situation, the Vandal is one of the most adept and versatile boards out there.
L: 35.5″
W: 10″
WB: 25.75 – 27.25
Note from Trevor:
Whaddup guys, I think I could’ve been a little more clear on my explanation of the relationship between board width, leverage and wobbles. Here’s what I was trying to say: Wobbles are usually caused by putting too much force on your back truck, which causes your board to jerk suddenly, which you then try to correct and overcorrect, starting the vicious cycle of automatic subconscious overcorrections that are wobbles. By narrowing the back of the board you have less leverage and therefore less force transferred to your back truck, so your chances of getting wobbles is reduced.

What’s the white topmount in the back?

My dream board
Chubby Unicorn tribute in the background? It is on top of the loaded board rack…
Are wobbles really caused by us trying to correct the board’s shaking in the back? Because when I run my trucks loose, and let go my board by accident, it will sometimes wobble without me being on it. Isn’t it the bushings that just rebound when you give too much leverage in the back of the board?
Unicorn
What’s the height difference between 50 degree and 35 degree baseplates?
supreme
is he riding a pike in the intro?
voice crack at 00:19 ? haha
it’d be kinda sick if rayne had made another optional vandal with a little added w concave for that extra locked in feel
I don’t get bite with 83mm centrax on my grease hammer with my surfrodz, best dh setup out there
So no riser required? Nice
I dig the framed unicorn picture.
I can’t decide between this or the Mini-Killer, I’m 5’1″
