Almost two years ago we rode the Bruko 50 Free during our trip between Slovakia and Czech Republic . The board holded up extremely well and we could skate anything that we ran into: sidewalks, parks and hills. Back to Italy we spoke a lot with Bruko about the shape of the deck and finally they came up with a new symmetric, more functionnal model, the Wooland. we mesured it: L 96cm W 23cm WB (inner holes) 46 cm old school truck mounting We rode it on Independent 169, bones hardcore medium bushing, and Retro Freeride 86a / Orangatang Fat free 86a. an Earthwing Crewzer 38 and the Wooland 40 side to side The finishing and the handcrafted details are beautiful, the kicks rise gently and are less steep that the classic street decks. This allows a good pop with larger wheels. The wheel wells are deep and fit pretty good with the Indys, the concave is deep enough to lock the feet while sliding (also thanks to the sharp rails) but it's...
Depending on your style, this board can handle anything! Quite agile in the pool, yet stable bombing a hill (the 19"wb makes it sketchy but fun!). The nose and the tail are less steep than a common street deck to have a nice pop even with bigger wheels. Sliding and freeriding is extrimely fun and easy: I could work on my stand ups and find my stance as soon as I stepped on the board. May add some rising pad to skate loose but the wheel wells still do their job, matching perfectly with the indys. I'm currently running a set of Independent 169 trucks, Abec11 retro freeride 86a / 3dm cambria 62mm 78a.
Here how my Comet Ethos 40 looks like after I chopped off the nose and part of the kick tail. The nose had some bad cracks and the tail was wrapping and I realized it was not necessary on a deck I use for dh. I also drilled some new holes on the back truck to have a longer wheelbase. I actually ride a symmetrical setup with randal 180mm 42° and divine barrel bushings 90a. increasing the wb by about 2cm handmade wheelwells lighter and easier to carry! Here's some footage on my local hill
