Just recently I decided I needed to add a new board to my quiver, since my Gravity Hypercarve wasn’t the best for downhill. I ended up choosing the Rayne Nemesis as I felt it would be a great versatile board for whatever the situation. Many people will say the board is too wide but until you try it I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
First of all you have plenty of foot room and the deep tube concave just seems to lock your feet in, almost feeling like a snowboard. Carving hills on this thing is effortless and throwing down slides is no problem with all the leverage you get from a wider board. Downhill riding is great on the Nemesis also since it’s quite a stiff board making it very stable at high speed. Another great thing is the board isn’t that heavy which is nice when you have to walk back up that hill a couple times.
As far as setup goes, I’m running Bear Grizzly trucks, Landyachtz Hawgs 77mm 78a wheels and orange barrel Khiro bushings. The Nemesis is just a great all around board for sliding, carving and bombing hills. I definitely recommend getting some new bushings as well such as Venom’s or Khiro’s as the board just comes alive with softer bushings. The guys over at Rayne really hit it right with the deep concave as well, you just feel glued to the board when riding.
I recommend the Rayne Nemesis to anyone who is looking for a seriously kick ass and versatile board.
