The Bruko Wooland review
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.
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 not aggressive at all. Moreover, it runs out from the truck mountings, creating a mellow "spoon" at the intersection with the kicks, so you feel the concave even at you widest stance. We loved this feature for freeriding and technical sliding!
On the downside, we found the deck a little too heavy and thick. We could get easily used to that but it remains a limit for ollies and flips.
After almost 3 months of intense riding the deck holds up really good: no twisting and still stiff. Unfortunately we hit a lot of curbs and we learned that to keep the pop fresh you have to pay attention to the kicks!
The Wooland is our favourite allround and skate trip choice. If you wish to know more about Bruko Boards check out their website.
