The Mabile is much more user friendly. Both glide like crazy but the Larmo has a more constant outline curve and tamer bottom contours. The Hall has more extreme concaves, sharper rails and has more of the parallel rails through the middle outline. This makes the Hall extremely fast when things line up just right but the Mabile works better in average conditions. I compare them like this: The Hall is more like the most recent Skip Frye Eagles and the Mabile is like the Frye's from the 90's that I have seen. If I was going to order one I would go with Larmo. You ride them mostly from the tail. Unlike a normal longboard, they don't seem to speed up when you move up to trim and then you are just further from the tail which is where you need be to turn the sucker! Click to expand... Thank you for the writeup! he comparison to the Hall made it really interpretable. Also, very interesting observation about how both compare to Skips shapes. I am definitely going to be doing some more research cause you sparked my curiosity |
