Shortys Skateboards Chadillac Muskalade

I bought this Shortys Skateboards Chadillac Muskalade board about 2 years ago and it has held up great. It is a little heavy but I can ollie higher on it than any other board I have ever used and I have been skateboarding for 7 years. So, stop crying and just practice and maybe you will see that it is good after all. For the dude whose board snapped, you probably got the shaft from the store. Sorry.

I got the Shortys Skateboards Chadillac Muskalade like 2 months ago and when I first tried it I was really happy. It had a lot of pop but then in about 3 days the pop sucks. Flips are easy, but after the pops gone it as hard as doing a 900.

i got this......thing for my birthday and within 1 week it snapped! I was very dissappointed at this because i love skating. Don't buy this. Go for a cheap deck!

I don't like shorty's decks at all. My Shortys Skateboards Chadillac Muskalade began to chip very quickly, and it didn't hold it's pop for very long. It has a screwed up shape and the nose is a lot longer than the tail, resulting in very unconsistant spins.

Right, now I cant skate for anything, and I don't know anything about skating really, I am just some old guy (well, 23) finding his second youth.

I was standing in my local skateshop, all ready to buy a Flip deck, it was the right width for my trucks, and generally had about the same concave as my old deck.

Then the guy in the shop pointed out their bargain bin, which was full of Muskalades and a few other decks. I asked why there were so many in there, and he said that people found them a little heavy. We compared the two, and found that if anything, the Flip deck was heavier. I then picked up a 5 ply 'ultralite' deck (don't remember the brand, may have been World Industries), and it weighed about the same.

Now as I say, I cant really skate that well, and if I ollie a foot and a half high, I'm doin good. I find that when I just get an ok ollie, it seems to fly a little low compared to my old deck, which you may attribute to weight. However, if you time it all just right, and pull a sweet feelin ollie, the height you get is amazing. I dont think weight is an issue, I think this particular deck just needs to be ridden by people who are hot skateboarders. If you are really good, you will get loads out of it, if you are average to poor like myself, you may find it tough at first.

People always comment on how light my friend's deck is, but they weigh the same!

Furthermore, more expensive decks such as the muskalde would appear to have a slightly shorter back kicker than the front, so that threw me at first, kept feelin like I was gonna fall backwards when I ollied.

As for flip tricks, I had been close to shove-its on my old deck, they are pretty damn simple with this little baby. Kick flips are a little tougher, cuss I am used to a little more concave, but I'll get there. 180s are also loads easier.

As for other tricks... Dont ask me, thats all I have learnt so far.

So, some people say heavy, I say its fine. And its DAMN tough, too! And anyhoo, dya see Chad moanin that he lost the comp cuss his deck was too heavy? No, and he would kick all our asses!

I like the deck, and I got it dirt cheap!

it's the worst board i've ridden right now i feel like throwing it in the garbage!!!that's hoe welfare it is!

Great deck from shortys it's a bit on the heavy side but is really stong and well worth what you pay for it. Doesn't crack or de-lamme easily, overall a very good deck with great dimesions.

overall, it's a pretty good board for the money.

iv'e been skating for 4 years and shortys seem

to last the longest. I currently have a shorty's

that's lasted for almost a year.

I think that the muscalade is an amazing board. I think that this board is an amazind board to skate with. I think that every skater should have a muscalade because it is just a kick ass board and more pros should be using the board.Some of my friends have the same board and it has lasted them a long time so it must be very good quality.

This board is mint. I can clear 3 decks and it is mint. The only bad thing is too heavey. I is too heavey to ollie 4 decks. on an enjoi i can. It is a mint board. But Marc Johnson and Muska rule. But Enjoi rules!!!!!!!!!!!!
