Carbon Nanotube "Hive-core" Firefly Review, with pics

Okay so for all you gear whores out there, HERE IT IS! Insect has raised the bar by which all other speedboards are judged. This is, hands down, the most sophisticated and complete speedboard deck I've ever had the priviledge of possessing. With the new "hive core" honey comb, this board is stiffest and lightest thing I've ever ridden.

So without further ado: the 2008 CFNT Honeycomb Firefly. First, the specs:

Width: 9-5/8" (24.5cm)
Wheelbases (inner hole to inner hole): 30"/31"/32" (76.2cm/78.8cm/81.3cm)
Concave: Deep Tub 3/4" with 1" of centerflat
Rocker: 1/4", centered
Weight, gripped and unmounted: 4.04lbs
Weight, mounted: (Bear Smokies 190, Sector 9 76mm 78a RF GOS wheels) 8.6lbs
Ride Height, with above setup: 4" (10.16 cm) to center of topsheet
Cutout Length: Nose 6" (15.2 cm), Tail 7.5" (19.0 cm)

This carbon board is so stiff and so light! This design is everything I've wanted in a speedboard, and now it's a dream come true. I can't wait to go charge some serious downhill on this thing.

Thanks to Steve for getting me on the team, and for patiently listening to Shane, Spencer and I help him design the perfect speedboard. Thanks to Elijah for getting it to me and for all he's done for the Insect Swarm. www.insectskateboards.com

looks like a nice set up. i'm digging the top mount with smokeys right now. kinda a little sketchy with the low kingpin though...
should be fun to see the board in action.

may all gear whores unite and oogle over this peice of art.. ahem, I mean technology.. actually both.

totally agree about the kingpin thing, i just dont commute on mine or ride when i am already walking sideways.
