So Robbie whats up with your EVO?

Phatman has many Arbors, Sector 9′s to arrive this week. Hanging in the shop right now we have a killer selection of Landyachtz, I just had to have the EVO! I love it, so sick! Grizzly 852 trucks , 76mm Monsters and LY abec 7 bearings. The 11 ply’s of Canadian maple and its dropdown platform make this board so stable and smooth for downhill drifting and sliding. I tested the EVO out on the Hopkins Rd. 990 overpass and then at Akron falls park, a great place to practice a few basics, such as a layback and coleman slide.

Take a look!
