Arsenal Truck Review

Arsenal trucks feature the quality of precisions at the cost of cast. Made by Moonshine Mfg, they are a killer truck that excel in many disciplines.

Arsenal Trucks are a solid, tall-bushing option intended for both downhill and freeride that won’t break the bank. They also work well in other disciplines as you’ll learn here!

I had a few issues with stability and kingpin drag in the beginning but it didn’t last long. Once I got the setup dialed, stability was not longer an issue – instead I was rewarded with smooth, deep turns at slow speeds and fast free ride!

Rayne Skyline Review

There is a Venn diagram where a boards features compliment each other in a variety of disciplines. The Skyline falls squarely in the center.

Rayne’s Skyline deck has turned out to be an absolute banger this year. It may seem like a while since Rayne last released a new deck but it was more than worth it!

Moonshine Rum Runner Review

Solid Moonshine construction and versatility are prevalent in the Rum Runner. This is a quiver killer for those who appreciate speed.

The Rum Runner has been a staple in the Moonshine lineup for quite a while. The wheelbase options, waterproofing, urethane rails and lightweight construction add to a functional shape to produce a product that is tough to match.

The Rum Runner name is reminiscent of prohibition era booze smugglers. They needed to get their cargo to it’s destination, fast. Moonshine’s Rum Runner only has one difference – the cargo is you.

Freeride or downhill, this board is well suited to the task. Even a little slashing if you move the trucks in far enough.

It’s available in both composite and standard constructions. In this review, we’ll be going over the standard construction – The standard! Read on to hear our thoughts and find a coupon to purchase your own at the end of the article!
