Hey gang - full review forthcoming yet tl;DR If you want a downhill mini that loves open roads, this is a fantastic choice. Venom Magnums are positively ideal here.
This is not for beginners who want to esk8 in Triangle Pose, nor is it for commuters who need to cross cobblestones at Hogwarts.
Anything larger than 90 MM will look silly, it feels made for 83s.
Inside a parking garage (the kind with normal pavement on the ramps) or on kart tracks, with a front Riptide foot stop… well, there’s nothing an Ollin can do that this Neo can’t do better.
Neo has a box-frame that is perfectly rigid and that means race. Center of mass is perfect and the high-W concave means you get a pedal when she’s full tilt, so try to slide it (we will). Should be stoked.
My guess is we’ll end up with @boardnamics upcoming mini drive train and his normal, pre-angled base plates, Riptide 100a bushings and keep it loose as F.
In my experience, when I know wheel bite is not possible and the trucks are super loose, I skate a zillion percent more confidently.
I hope to bring that feeling back with this Neo One.
We’ll get a thread going, happy for all advisement as always. Thanks friends.
