This is a great board for those that are unsure about the size of a Pigme but still want the same performance. This board is great to skate to the store, surf check or to lay down some Bertlemann slides. The Twenty Seven is a scaled up version of the Pigme and is a favorite amongst the GFH crew. At 27" it can still be thrown behind your seat and is perfect for skating through the airport and evading night patrolman at your local skating spot. We tried out several different truck combinations, but we ended up going back to the GFH old school 3" trucks. You get a different feel with these mini trucks that you can't capture with a larger truck. You will notice that the other guys are using a 5" trucks on similar sized boards and the ride isn't the same. Why do they do it? Who knows? Try both and feel the difference for yourself.
