Bamboo Sk8 Octobomb Review

I recently got my hands on Bamboo Sk8′s newest board – The Octobomb. What makes Bamboo Sk8 boards standout is the fact that are made entirely from Bamboo, one of the fastest growing resources around.

Seeing that the board is made from bamboo, it possesses many favorable characteristics such as increased flex and Pop.

Once getting the deck, I headed down to my local skate shop to turn it into a complete board. I started riding it immediately after getting home and I could feel the flex right from the start. The board held well while carving. I really like riding this board and also supporting a Enviromentlly friendly company.

My only criticism is that for standard trucks, the wheel wells are cut in a weird position. They suggest using Randal Trucks. To fix the problem I just added a pair of risers to my trucks and it has worked well.
