Alright so i'm 6' 190lbs looking to cruise around and carve/slide moderate hills not gunna be bombing huge hills but i want something stable enough to handle speed. Don't really see spending more than $150. I've always skated, and rode a short kick tail cruzer quite a bit and a drop through once, leaning towards a drop though but idk give me your advice thanks

I do similar riding to you and I'm really happy with my earthwing supermodel. I bought mine off of SoCal skateshop and I think it was like $170-$180 with Indy 215s and abec 11 flashbacks. You could also look at the earthwing belly racer if you want a topmount, which is also not too expensive.

Riptide Eliminator style or venom eliminator, is there much difference and what duro, I am rocking 90a venom barrels and they feel a touch soft for dh and freeride.

Anybody ever heard of these guys?

Hippies out in California that make full setups of most styles for $125. I can't seem to find anything about them anywhere though.

6'4" 200. I am only doing slide 180's heal side. I like having a tail. I have tried some of the local kids boards and I cannot seem to ride any boards with my rear foot in front of the trucks. I take that back. I bombed the garage on my friends landyahtz a couple years ago.

you're damn right i dont but i started this thread to give experienced advice.
use this scenario
You are starting park skiing and you walk into a ski shop ask for a good park ski. The worker Says you could choose from Armada, Line, K2, Rossi, and some new brand they have never ridden before and have no real idea of how the skis ride, lets call them BitchTits skis.
Theyre is all these seasoned brands the worker could recommend, then theyres bitchtits.
Can they very well recommend Bitchtits to you?
Im not trying to be a dick, but on a weekly basis some kid will come into our shop with some homemade board asking if he can sell them at our shop free of charge, and is unwilling to give us one to demo. Its really a pain in the ass after a while.

hmm thats odd haha. Most people go handslides--->standies
whatever works!
With handslides just work on carving into a toeside and at the same time throw your hands to the ground and put all of your weight on them while staying in control of the board.
Colemans are the same thing just a heelside carve, and fall back. but with colemans put your leading hand down first.
Heelside standies, same as toeside...just heelside carve instead haha!
Good luck man!

also i could get a complete for 150 an where as the earthwing deck alone is just 150
just curious, do you guys spend money on expensive speed bearings or not ?
i always get bones reds or something similar in price and i've always been very happy about em, speed/rolling wise i have no problem keeping up with my longboard buddies and the durability of em doesn't outweigh spending double or triple the price on 'good' bearings cause they last pretty long if you keep em clean and dry .... (modus abec 3's have been lasting me for quite some time on my second board and they still roll super smooth)

Personally i run Swiss ceramics on my DhRace board just because i won them. They do roll faster and smoother and have lasted over a year and counting. Better than reds, yes, worth the extra 120$, fuck no.
On my tan tien and 925 which i just do alot of freeride on i run Seismic tectons. theyre 30$ and alot better than reds/super reds, they rarely need to be cleaned, and roll smoother.
On my pocket knife which i ride to work/school i run super reds cause it rides through alot of water so i wouldnt ever want to run nice bearings.
Sparknotes: Get nicer bearings for race, everything else dont worry really.
