HOLY DICK BALLS!!!
I finally get to write a review :) I've owned the Madrid Havoc 1.0 since day one. This board replaced the Omen Sugar in my lineup. The Omen Sugar was my favorite single kick hands down, but I liked the Havoc for the following reasons:
-Lighter
-CNC Wheel Wells
-The kick tail is fucking money, although it doesn't look like it... the Madrid Havoc has a super functional kick tail without sending your board shooting into the air. It gives you a very natural leverage point to allow you to do anything from manuals, to pop up tricks.
-The wheel flares provides natural points to rest your feet. I honestly don't feel the need for a foot stop because of how natural the wheel flares lock you in.
-This deck was built for BIG riders. If you're a smaller rider stick to the nessie or wendego. If you're over 6 feet tall or weigh more than 180 this deck is the board of your dreams.
Set up:
I used a quarter inch riser, with Randal 180s, red divine city slashers, eximius bearings, and the standard grip it comes with... I want to say Flypaper grip?
If you want to pop ollies, this board is for you! If you want to do trick flips this board is for you! If you want to bomb parking garages & hills this board is for you!
I've never spoken so highly about a board, but the Havoc 1 is hands down my favorite board.
Havoc version 2
Specs:
L: 37.5” W: 9.875” WB: 23.625”, 24.625”, 25.375”, 26.375” 8-PLY MAPLE LAYUP(w/ optional Formica top sheet), ROCKER, W-CONCAVE, FLARED & CNC WHEEL WELLS, KICKTAIL
The havoc 2 has some upgrades in comparison to the 1. For starters the wheel flares were cut more precise. They went from 4 layers to 8. This further increases the clearance & looks cool as fuck.
The nose is more aerodynamic. Did I stutter? They redid the shape of the nose
There's more concave to the deck in comparison to the first version. Grant also added a W concave to the board, which as a flat footed fuck I HATE!
The board has a lil bit of rocker to it when compared to the first version. All in all if you like that w concave, and liked everything about the first havoc you can't go wrong with the second havoc.
