Landyachtz Time Machine

The Time Machine, although I've only gotten to set foot on it a couple of times so I'm going to kind of give a "first impressions" here. First of all this boards graphic to me is pretty sweet, the 2012 version at least, with the Delorian, and dinosaurs, flying whales n' what not. But we all know a sweet graphic isn't exactly what everyone looks for, this board was designed with giving a top mount board the feeling of a dropped deck. The only way I can explain it is it's kind of shaped like a hammock, and it's comfortable like one too.

The Landyachtz Time Machine even from first sight you can tell it's a freeriding, and downhill board. With the concept of the drop for stability and top mount for control of turns how would it not be? Also it's an awesome commuting board, it's kind of big and unfortunately there's no kicktails really, but the drop makes for some really easy pushing. Also, the concave isn't super "aggressive" which can really be a pain in the foot if it's too much. Lastly, the time machine actually has some kind of flex to it so although going past 35-40mph will probably be a touch sketchy riding over cracks and rocks and whatnot will definitely be dampened as compared to riding a slab of maple. I suggest the Time Machine if you're looking to add a new commuting, freeride, or moderate downhill board to your quiver.
