Description of Myrtle Myrtle Bird's The Word Complete Skateboard:
The Myrtle Bird's the Word Complete Skateboard—instead of our normal bullshitting, we thought we'd give you a description straight from the horse's mouth. We're just plagiarizing from designer/artist Russ Hope's blog, in other words: “This one has been boo yahed out a bit because I'm setting it up for myself. Cool thing about this board is it has a custom concave that Paul Shmitt built for us in his Costa Mesa woodshop. I wanted a concave that is somewhat flat across the back truck with a long flatish drawn out tail, married to a V styled mellow double rocker concave with just a slightly upturned nose. We got it all, super cool. It has a shortish wheelbase so the board still turns really well. It also has the truck holes drilled right in front of a nice little flat pocket in front of the tail so that it's well balanced. This way you can still crack little ollies up and down curbs on the way to get your 6 pack of Olympia cans.”
Bottom Line: We couldn't have said it better ourselves.
I bought this board a few months ago from whiskey. The trucks, wheels, and bearings, are all shit. I ended up taking these parts from my sector 9 long board and now it rides great. The price was right, but the parts weren't.
