    Default Question

    I'm looking to buy a mini longboard, but I don't know which one to get. I like the flexdex mini but i can't find it anymore. Any suggestions for other companies that make good minis?

    Default hmmm

    Ive heard good things about gravity's mini,
    But whats really fun is to take an old beat up shortboard and take a jigsaw to it.

    You can cut your own shape and it keeps a nice concave to it, I made one around 24 inches and it turned out great. Just be sure to sketch your shape with pencil before you start. Got mine set up with midtracks and cambrias, its a fun ride
    Progress isn\'t made by early risers. It is made by lazy men trying to find easier ways to do something.

    my buddy who works at a surf/skate shop let me ride the S9 mini. Fun little ride even though I got some wheelbite. The gravity one looks cool too but I didn't get to ride it.

    i would doubt it as it would require a new form which is the most expensive thing to build out of the whole precess.
    bah humbug

    ... as for speed, yeah its great at the speeds you mentioned. I have mine set up now... not as in the pic.... with Indy 150's and soft bushings and the board can cruise, carve and is amazingly fun to pump.

    i was in a local surf/skate shop earlier today and saw a dregs board that looked about 24 inches (which is around the size im looking). it was way over priced though at $125. I was wondering if anyone knows the model or where else this board is sold because i chcked dregs website and didnt see the deck for sale. Or, any other decks udner 25 inches.

    If fou are not in real need of this board right now i say wait for the new landy, or call them. to ask when it'll be out. The picture of it on their site was very cool.

    BTW, their new site is up.
