Any one ever hear of this board? I just stopped into my favorite shop. OK it's a pawn shop. We have money issues right? So I saw this board on the
wall. And it has been there for some time now. And with the lessons being offered at WBB I said ok. I talked them down $20.00 and bought it. Seems in
good shape board is springy. I jumped on it and it didn't break. I'm abute 200lbs.
So did I buy a crapper on a whim or is this an ok brand?

Just so you know I stink at spelling. It's an Ambush Warrior! Cool graphics and good tires!!

google turns up a post here on PKF as first result-
"It was an entry level board w/ 8" wheels and skate trucks. They rated it up to 190 lbs. MBS replaced it with the Atom 95X. "
Yeah, it's MBS, one of the top brands, just an old board, entry-level. You're close to max weight on it, but I'm certain you'll get more than $20 out
of it!

Yeah roc, the tires alone are worth more than that! Remind me not to try and sell you any of my stuff, I'll end up giving it to ya with cash just to
take it!!! Let the Kidd get together with Adam(and some pads)at Wildwood, I'm sure he'll have a blast!

This was on his wall for almost a year. And he kept moving it closer and closer to (what he calls the) the corner of death!!
Guys I didn't pay $20.00 I talked him down $20.00, I payed $75.00 I guess I could upgrade the board if we are to heavey for it. The Kidd and I are
about the same wieght.
I have no plans to jump with it just ride. Or more likely just fall

Ambush Warrior (looking at the old MBS site) was made from 2003-2005. Depending on the exact year, the weight rating varied from 180lbs to 200lb
(earlier was actually more robust... or less conservative, anyway).
In either case, I expect their is a margin of safety built. I don't expect the bolts spontaneously combust at 1xx lbs. For cruising you are probably
fine. I expect the trucks will give out before the deck,
STP (and they discount deeply) has them on clearance for $99 (original retail was $219.95) plus shipping, so $75 is still a savings.

Wow, $20 is a steal! That's the board I learned on and it's great for learning/small jumps. I recently upgraded to a Pro90, but I kept my Ambush
around friends to ride on. I weigh ~155 and was pulling jumps on it, but I do feel way more confident jumping bigger on my Pro90.
If you need new/stiffer bushings, standard skateboard truck bushings work just fine. I switched mine out to some stiffer Shorty's bushings after I
bought it.

rocfighter, the Ambush boards are light and reasonably durable. It sounds like you got a fair price, MBS is quality gear. While it's not a deck that's
designed for big drops or massive jumps, it should hold up well for downhill carving and kite cruising. Did it come with a brake installed?
I just grabbed two boards for a total investment of $160, an MBS Core 90 and MBS Atom 80x with a brake (for my little guy to learn on). They are the
2009 models, but both were new and still in the original packaging so... like you, I can't pass up a deal. I'm so addicted!

I rode one for like 4 years....? Great starter board, but I definately like my core 90 better.
