You’ll be hard-pressed to find anything evil about this deck. It’s on the softer, more forgiving side, which you want in a park board, and the angular EQ Rad sidecut had a slightly different edge hold than traditional sidecut. Testers applauded it for being well-balanced and snappy, and although at times it was somewhat loose feeling on the hard pack, the Villain was lightweight and fun in softer stuff. The 155 and 158 lengths come in a wide option, which was a little slower edge-to-edge, but perfect for our big-footed jumpers.
Length (cm) — Sidecut Radius (m) — Waist Width (cm)
147 — 7.4 — 24.2
150 — 7.6 — 24.7
153 — 7.8 — 25.0
155 — 8 — 25.2
155W — 8 — 25.9
158 — 8.2 — 25.4
158W — 8.2 — 26.2
Flex: Medium
Camber: Hybrid (zero between inserts, camber near inserts, reverse to tips)
(Flex is not standardized and differs by brand. The rating here is the best estimate of the board’s flex.)
(Sidecut Radius: The measure of how deep or shallow the arc of a board’s edge is from the tips to the middle, in meters. A smaller radius, around six to seven meters means a board will generally turn tighter. As the radius number increases, a board can be expected to make wider turns. Multiple numbers on the same length board means the radius is blended.)
