longboarding is so much fun pulling out slides and going even faster speeds then regular skateboards.

nice Guys! we have a yearly downhill race here called 420 tantalus run and some awesome hills to skate, mountainboarding is popular as well

I reallywant a longboard, but I gots no munies, so plastic banana board and regular board it is.

I got invited to race something in Hawaii but i was too young it was 16 and over, plus it cost way to much money for me to go

 

[Jack]

I wanted this board called a Streetboardz or something but it was $300, then I found the exact same board, and I meant exact same, under another brand for only $180! then I forgot what the brand and website was called, and its lost for ever.

Im thinking about getting a longboard.

What would you guys suggest for a deck?

I already know Im gettin bear 180's with SHR Venom 81a cone's, and flashbacks for wheels...

 

[Jack]

Pony boy, I live a few thousand KM from Portland because of, you know, being in Australia Haha.
I just might check that out pred, but I don't know your real name, and saying Predator sent me might not get either of us very far Haha.

 

[ponyboy]

lol and sheldon u should get a landyachtz board or a rayne board, both of them are so good but rayne has fiberglass boards and nice concave
landyachtz has everything from pintails to tiny decks, and their boards are so well made, if ur getting wheels u probably want orangatangs or abec 11s.
ur gettin bear 852s right because bears are awesome. u probably want something other than the cones, if ur planning on downhill, but for carving u can get
em. i reccomend the rayne amazon or the demonseed, the landyachtz 925 or the switchblade.

Bones swiss=best bearings ever.

 

[Sheldon]

Pony im mainly gunna use it for carving and getting around, so that's why I want the cones. I've already decided on abec's (flashbacks) and bears.

Also for bearings im geting bone reds.

 

[Jack]

Bones reds are great, they're dirt cheap and provided you keep them clean they'll stay as fast as you want them.

If you want good carving and getting around then try this setup this is what i run on my cruiser.

Bears 180s (Ironic)
Seismic Tekton Bearings <---- Best rollers around
you also want harder and straighter wheels I have Hawgs KM FSU but Flashies are allgood
For a deck i suggest the sector 9 decay there a drop through thats stable, turns well and looks beast.
But if your not into that pretty much get any deck thats doesnt have drop deck cause they suck for cruising
PS bones reds are a pain whel you get over 75kms an hour i have caved in so many sets of BRs doing that

 

[Jack]

Well I don't do downhill, so BR's are the best and most practical bearings I've found.

 

[Predator']

Yeah they are better for cruising. I just use Tektons cause they dont cave and roll well.

 

[Jack]

But are they $15 a set? Haha
