DONT DO IT!!!! buy a sector 9, or anything, you will be happier.. actually, i will even build you a board comparable with a crown for cheaper than they will just to save you the trouble!!! you will be more happy with any other board ever made

forget it and spend the few extra for dollars ,you can find a sec9 on ebay instead for almost the same price.

My very first board was a Krown and it warped like all hell in two months. Stay away from them.

I tried a Krown once.I would rather ride a tree with trucks and wheels on it.Ended up buying a Gravity and I am very happy with it.

buy a flat sheet of 1/2 inch Baltich birch, cut it and sand it, there you ahve a board for 20$ and it will be a better board by far.. or just find the cheapest sector 9 you can find, you'll just be much better off this way

**lachance333** · 10-24-2008 02:11 PM

are there anyother cheap longboards other than sector nine?//

**lachance333** · 10-24-2008 02:13 PM

if im going to be making my board with the 1/2 baltic birch plywood anyone got any tips and then what trucks and bearings and wheelss would i put on it

**mc99david** · 10-24-2008 02:18 PM

get randals, 78a flashbacks, and mini logo bearings, this is a great way to start no matter what kind of board you are riding or making

**mc99david** · 10-24-2008 02:20 PM

that should put you right at 100

board - $20 (though you can make 5 out of that sheet of wood)

trucks 40ish

wheels 30ish

bearings $8ish

**lachance333** · 10-24-2008 02:21 PM

do u have anypointers on how to make the actualy board though and would the baltic birch be the only wood to use wich would be the best wood to use for a reasonable price

**mc99david** · 10-24-2008 02:23 PM

by far the best wood to use.. and just draw it out.. cut it with a jig saw.. spend tons of time sanding,, and you've got a board every bit as good as a crown and better.. if you mess the first one up, you can build 4 more.. just be extra sure that it is 1/2 inch BALTIC BIRCH.. not just any birch will do...

you wont have any concave or camber, but krowns dont have that anyway, and this mkaes it so you dont have to build a press.

read up here, you'll see tons of things on any kind of board you ever want to build

**lachance333** · 10-24-2008 02:25 PM

sorry what do u mean read up here and i dont know how to assemble the board like i said im new at this stuff but i love building stuff could u tell me how//??

**lachance333** · 10-24-2008 02:26 PM

also what would be the ideal size for a longboard just for cruising

**mc99david** · 10-24-2008 02:40 PM

ok.. make it 42-47 inches long, a distance between the wheels of about 33 inches, give or take, and make it between 9-11 inches wide. and whatever shape makes you happy

What i meant by read up in here. In silverfish in the board building section, there are instructions on how to build any and every kind of board ever made. So that can be a place to get more answers to how to do a lot of these things.

but really that is the basics..
