Coasts forever and is zippy. I imagine the Comet will be my cruising board once I get it but I honestly do a good chunk of my riding in and around my driveway while playing with the kids (I'm old) and this board is great for that!

Let down by a lack of an index

The information is fine.

It is pretty much hopeless to find information you have already read about in this book due to to the lack on an index. It is really, really, really annoying for such a detailed book as this is.

Skate rage? Not a longboard but still..! Andy Anderson on a Powell-Peralta video

Andy has to be one of the most all around skaters out there right now, I even saw him riding Shawn Thomas Prier's Comet Cruiser!

Comet cruiser vs Loaded Coyote?

I have a Coyote with a cruiser-style truck setup, I love how compact and snappy it is.

Worth Every Penny

A simply astonishingly detailed, yet eminently readable history of the Comet, set against a well-researched and clearly presented backdrop of late war British tank use. It tells you everything you ever wanted to know about the Comet, and why British tank production was the way it was. I simply canno...

Comet Cruiser beats all. Today I took it over 10 miles to a skatepark where it cruises bowls like it’s nothing and even does great board slides on the rails.

The book gives a fantastic insight into the development of the A34

The book gives a fantastic insight into the development of the A34, the last of the breed. This is one for the tank buff, if your looking for a modelling reference there is very little in this book of use. I have All of P. M. Nights books and have found them most interesting to read.
