whats the best type of longboard. i want to buy one that is preferably under 160. im looking for like a 40 or less incher
 
me and my buddy make longboards, message me if your interested, usually for about 140 to 150 american
 
always buy a name brand unless they guarantee there products because some longboards straight out fucking suck go with arbor or sector 9
 
I have an arbor fish, and its sick as hell. With the right trucks and wheels, you can make any longboard sick really.
 
if its your first one, buy whatever, you will love it.

if you dont want people to think your a chick, get a wood board though, none of this fiberglass shit
 
yea i would say just get whatever is a decent price for your first board so you can see how much you like it and get good and stuff. after that you can step it up.
 
Sector9 are a very good board...I had a sector9 for 6 years before I finally got a new one...it was a 44in. Thing lasted forever. Only thing with sector9 is you gotta fix em up...they are decent off the shelf, but I recommend throwing some abec 7's on it.
 
sectors are the way to goo mines like this cosmic but last years model

some things about S9.

The boards are great. great flex and all.

The wheels suck! One of my S9 wheels just exploded in pieaces when i hitted a hole in the road. Like a erasergum!!

The trucks are great for cruising cuz the are so wobbly. sucks at higher speeds.

Tip: S9 deck, Randall, Siesmic or other good trucks and some kryptos or abec11 :)

Then you have a great board :D
 
i wanna make on in wood shop. how thick do you think i should make it? it would be made out pine. i was thinking 7/8"??

also, trucks and shit. can i juse use normal skate hardware?
 
fuck you man im not retarted you only have to look on wich degre the hangers on the trucks are in to tell wich truck is most stable at speed.

check it out

i ride 80 kmh on real loose randaltrucks. the reason i can do that is the following

S9=wobble, to easy turning. the same construction as an regular skateboardtruck. skateboards often travel in much lower speed than a longboard, thats why its a bad truck

Randall=Smooth and stable turning.. the rolemodell for all longboard speedtrucks these days. The 45 degre hanger makes it just a little more slow in turning and not as easy affected by speedwobble as and ordinary 90 degre skateboard truck.
 
My friend has a longboard that is built by BMW, it's called the street carver and it costs like $500 but it's so fucking sick. We took it to an airport runway and went kiteboarding, soooo freakn awesome we were hauling ass.
 
in speaking of BMW longboards. that one loooks seriously badass!! That one is a true pimpride.. you should get some spinning rims with that haha :)

Btw have you people heard that one guy was riding behind a motorcycle on a airplan strip and got up to the speed of 100 mph... thats REALLY FUCKING CRAZY! :D the guys name was "Biker" or something, you can read about it at http://ncdsa.com
