Boardwalking board?

~Stuart~ · 03-01-2007, 11:46 AM

I wanna start boardwalking/crusing/(maby)dancing

what would be a good board? i was looking at some of the longer boards, because i already have the longer bamboo s9 pintail. maby something closer to 60"?

i have seen lots of pics of LBL dancer and that looks wicked, i was wondering what else is out there (searched and searched but cant find any, that arnt like oversized pintails)

thanx

boardwalking/dancing are basically just two names for the same thing. just so you know

you can't go wrong with an LBL dancer, they're wickedly awesome. personally i prefer building my own though, and it's quite a bit cheaper if you're strapped for cash. if you're looking for something different, then i say just build it yourself. it's far more rewarding!

Gravity Ed Economy, Big Red X ground swell, Sector 9 Luke nosewalker, Dregs 56" supertanker, Eastbilt blank 60" deck,etc etc etc blah blah blah are other options.

However, I will never give up my LBL dancer. Easy to learn and improve boardwalking skills. Nice flex for pumping the flats.

i will probably get flammed for this but w/e.

i have tried the LBL dancer for about 10 min and i found it to be too narrow IMO. but alot pf people love them so i should probably give em a another chance.

i use an eastbilt 60 which i love.

nah, i wouldn't flame ya ton, everyone has their own taste. i like OSD's for sure, they're great boards.....but i prefer the feel of mine, and nothing beats the feeling of riding a board that you've made yourself

i knew that... *blushes*

does the lbl dancer have camber/concave/rocker? im thinking i might break out the old jigsaw and do it my self

The LBL dancer has some concave but it's pretty mellow. If you are making your own, you could make it a touch wider to give it the leverage that the concave otherwise does. A flat version of it works well, since that's what big_loaf uses.

That's possibly the only board on the market truely made for boardwalking tricks specifically. There's lots of other good boards that are big though - Chicago Longboards, Kahuna have almost the same size ones that are good for instance
