Board of the moment?

[whiskeyhill]

I've noticed over the past year on the fish certain boards that gain a ton of popularity. What do you think those boards were, and what do you think is next?

[David H]

were:
hellcat
dervish
d-seed (bonus: k-rimes edition)
really, anything loaded
evo!
humu

now:
nemisis
still dervish
hustler
arcane mini

[bucksaw87]

dervish is gonna fade out of popularity because people are afraid of buying 'em...but they'll pop back into fashion towards the fall when college starts back up. we're gonna see a lot more conventional-pivot trucks (read: indys) on everything (namely topmount speedboards). drop-decks are gonna come back in style, what with the rayne nemesis and landy chinook. and i *almost* had a feeling that SF was gonna allow S9 back onto the forums, but i guess that ain't gonna happen any time soon. oh, the whole s9 thing is gonna become more and more heated, and people will start buying them for the sole purpose of causing a stir on SF. oh, and the hustler is gonna become a popular board.

bigzigs are the new bigzigs...ew 76mm superballs, while bigger, are gonna remain a niche market

we're gonna see more of the "little guy" wheels, namely bustin

making your own bushings is gonna take off (thanks to karrot and tvar)

street skating is gonna become more popular among SF'ers...albeit, with boards like the raygent and thruster.

[WeekendxCarver]

I agree anything loaded. Any of the big name speedboard companies new models.

[whiskeyhill]

here its totally anything loaded.

a dervish is about double the price here than it is there and people just eat it up. crazy

[williamewart]

loaded loaded loaded

[Birdman87]

i predict the Nico model from Kebbek will be the next "Big Thing"

[vtflex23]

it seems like whatever board a big name rider (aka K-Rimes or someone like that ) people like to get that board just cas someone else is riding it when not even knowing how it fits their style or even if they like it
