800-1000

I can't decide between the 05 speed, a shocker, or a viking.


Can't decide whether to buy used or new.


Anyone help?

I would go with the viking. You barley ever see them unlike speeds and shokers. Plus I have heard a lot of good things about the vikings.

05 speeds are rare at my field. i love them they have such a smoothe feel and there so fast. vikings are to big and bulky. the only shocker id take over a 05 speed is a dynasty or tonton

I would go with the 05 speed, they are all gonna perform great, so you should try to get your hands on them and see which one you like the feel of best.

Well the Viking rips and are much less commonplace, plus Tadao came out with the board for it, so it should be even better.

The Shocker is as common as a crackwhore with bad teeth. Everyone has or had one, it seems.

The Angel, well it too is pretty common, nut I am sorta biased here since I am not a huge Angel fan either. I have played a few games with an 05 Speed and it wasn't anything that really impressed me much.

I don't like the borg's frame.

How heavy is it?

no, a regular cyborg is slightly under 2.1 pounds... and sonic borgs are milled even more, which may shave off an ounce or two.

He did not ask the weight on the borg, only said he did not like its frame. He said
