Does anybody on here longboard skateboard? I want to get a new one for downhill bombing and just crusing; does anybody have any ideas for which one to get? I want to get a complete from Sector Nine hopefully from Daddies Board Shop. How does this one look: http://www.daddiesboardshop.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=203 O yea, please list components to get that are listed on that page, not any others that I’d have to get seperate.
I longboard and slalom skateboard…
My friends and I have had sector 9’s and I think they are an ok “beginnner board,” beacause thay aren’t too specialiozed. I do think there are a lot better things out there, but not so many for the same price. Also, go to your local skate shop and see what they have. most skateshops have several longboards, usually sector 9s.
If you are sure you want that board, I would (being $ conciencious), go with dbs abec 5’s, randall 180’s, and 78a flashbacks, or 78a grippins if you plan do do some intense carving. With the turning raidius of that board, I think flashbacks will be fine.
on other boiard reccomendations, check out Landyachtz.
some of the boards in your pricerange and are similar to the S9 are the pinner , the cheif, and the wedge flex. I like the wedge flex the best, but its not going to be a great bomber (25mph +).
also, definetly check out subsonic They used to be called curve, and I own 2 of their boards. The nice thing about them is its almost all custom. According to your weight and prefs, they make the deck a certain flex. there are a ton of wheels and truck options too, so your board can be a little or a lot. I highly reccomend curve. The guy who runs it is awesome, and so are his boards. the only downside is they are going to be a little over $145, and he makes each board custom, so it might be 3 weeks before you get your board. If you have any questions, feel free to PM me or email me @ deadkennedysdude(at)msn(dot)com
I just got a Sector 9 Bola longboard yesterday. I bought it on eBay.

The guy has an online store too, but his eBay prices are much better. This is my first skateboard and I’m really impressed with how fast it rolls along.
I don’t plan on doing anthing too extreme with this board. Mostly I just wanted it for cruising around on.

WOW! I just confirmed that it is far easier to juggle clubs while longboarding than it is while unicycling. Also, it’s a lot easier to pick up dropped clubs off the street.

I think I’m going to go with the Landyachtz Big Gun or The Bomb. Out of those, which do you recommend?

So which board did you get?? We need to know:D
I’m having fun with my 42 inch Sector 9. I have a 60 inch longboard on order now too. I’ll try and post some riding pics sometime.

where’s the circus, buddy?
I’ve got to wait until my birthday now because I’ve spent all my dough on shocking gags (my secret addiction) and on uni things, so yea. I’m 90% sure I’m going to ask for the Big Gun, though.
