I would get a Nomad but I don't like the graphics or the way the plate edges aren't round. I much prefer the more mellow and mature look of the blue and white Nomad 'old school' from the early 2000's before the Renegade adopted the 'x-treme' look. It only got worse from there with the latest model. Where can I get the old blue and white Nomad?

Alternatively, is it worth getting the Highland Click (48cm stance) in the plain natural finish, or is that board too small for a guy 5'3" ?

I am the same the Nomad kinda puts me of with the edges, but the size bar seems more to my liking.
I have sergi plates with a warlord bar, it's heavy tank mofo!!

Joel,

I haven't forgotten about you. It's just been hectic. The Nomad board has never changed, except for the graphics. You could always get a Nomad and give it your own custom paint job. The Click/Dragon boards are really meant for little kids. They are tiny. And they have completely flat footplates. Do you like the shape of the Campaign footplates?

Oh Hi! Thank you for remembering! Glad you found me. The Campaign kickplates seem fine; it was the straight edges of the Nomad kickplates that weren't for me.

I wonder why the graphics on Dimension boards were changed over the years. Were they moving toward marketing to a younger demographic? The Highland boards seem to have better graphics overall, except for the enormous Highland logo on the bottom of a few of them. Of course, performance is the most important concern, though.

I think the Nomad bar of the original board had a 52cm stance, which they shortened by one cm for the renegade. I don't suppose that would make a big effect for a beginner though, would it?


Anyway, what does everyone think about the different graphics and aesthetics of the current streetboards? Please share!
