The Shadow II pro scooter is levels above the original. Its focus has steered away from street riding, and focused on the mainly park style riding though. The deck is no longer boxed, but is still that perfect width of 5" wide. So you won't have the larger lock in point that a boxed ends provides, but you will still have the foot space and wider platform for grinds that a 5" wide deck offers. In other words, you'll have a harder time locking into more advanced grinds like 5-0s, but you'll be able to lock into 50-50s no problem! Although the bars are steel, they have managed to keep the complete very light at just 7.05 lbs! So if you're looking for a park setup that has more foot space in the width department, look no further because this is it.
