When the 2012 decks first released, I immediately fell in love with the graphics and have been saving up for one for years now. This time last year, I managed to scrounge enough to afford just the deck itself, but the european distributors ran out of stock at pretty much the same time, and I couldn't afford the full Comp 90 board with all its wheels and straps.
Things have gone a little smoother this year so with the deck itself still weirdly out of stock (I don't know how that works) I just splashed out on a whole new board. So I'm stoked up to my eyeballs now.
My current board is a BATTERED MBS Comp 95 2008. The deck is split, the trucks are all outta whack and (due to a run in with the sea) the majority of the nuts and bolts are rusting up a good'n. But I've had years of service out of that trusty ride. If you trawl way back through this site you'll most likely find some pics of it being thrashed around.
I'm interested to see how differently the 90 deck will handle, though at this point I've been riding my 95 ragged for so long that I can't remember how it rolled when it was first assembled. I'm not too exited about the Vector trucks, so my current plan is to save up for some new Matrix Pros and slam them onto the shorter deck in order to create a downsized successor to my 95.
Just wanted to share this great news with you all, as I'm all mega excited now! Happy New Year!
