well most people would recommend the protostar to you but I say you should get the DM. A lot of people don’t like it but I think it is just about perfect. You should get a DM2 because they are newer and I guess better. I personally like the DM because of the feel from the wight distribution and the irg. It also has strong fast sleepers and grinds well. ---

Out of the 2, I preferred the X-Convict, simply because it was smaller and easier to hold. Also I don’t like starburst so the hybrid on my DM didn’t impress me much. ---

I vote DM II. I like my original DM and some of the changes they made for the DM II should make it even better. The response is now recessed silicone pads. There is a new axle system that adds stability. It is a few grams lighter. ---

I have both the DMv1 and the X-con and they are both awesome so you might want to flip a coin on this one. ---

Don’t have a DM so I can’t judge on that… The X-con is really nice, I like it muchly. But it requires a good throw. A little off and it will tilt madly. It does not recover well from a bad throw. That said, it really moves through tricks well if your throw is down good. It is stable, meaning it will stay in whatever mode you throw it. In a good smooth throw, it will remain that way. If you tip it on a throw, it will stay that way too. ---

Get the Dingo. It’s a metal, and it’s only $50. Or the Summer Special DV888, if any are left. ---
