Review: She's a beast! A beast, I say! If you're reading this because you're thinking about buying one of these, the video demo videos linked are a really good representation. It's basically a 2002 20" Medium, without the lathing. So you folks that are unfamiliar with the RUDE Thin Crashes, they are thin in comparison to the RUDE Crash/Rides, which are extra heavy. The lack of lathing adds a bit of overtones, and an air of "unrefined" sound, for lack of a better term. It does seem louder also, due to this manufacturing process being left out. If you need something brash, and cutting, this might be your best bet.
