Assault

Briefly searched this and couldn't find anything. Sorry if its a repeat question.

Looking for any reviews on the Byerly Assault.

I've been on the Mana, Recoil, Premier and Witness shapes so if you could compare it to one of those it would be great! Thanks.

I rode the 55. I have a 140 witness. Assault pops more, tracks harder (stickier), is a little lighter, lands harder (Witness lands crazy-soft). About the same speed. Pops great. I kept the Witness for the softer landings, but that's because I'm old :-)

Thanks inigo! Anybody else have any other comparisons?

Go with the Monarch instead!! I'm pretty sure I've even seen Rathy "cheating" on the Assault with the Monarch, as the light top on the board in this video cannot be the Assualt.

I'm not sure rathy's even in that video. Maybe I'm wrong but that looked like Phil, Rusty then Andrew :-)

but I know what you mean. He's definitely been riding something that looks like the monarch with assault graphics.

But the monarch wasn't really an option. I won this board and was wondering what it was like. Prob won't get it in for a few weeks. Just super excited about it.

I love the Witness/Jett shape and it sounds like I love the assault.

Awesome...congrats on winning the board!!! As for the video, it says it's Rathy but I wouldn't bet any money on it!!

Have fun on the new ride!!
