OH dear jesus help me....

[Nixit]

Ok..... I am looking at one of these boards:

Rayne Timeline

Bustin Spliff

Landyachtz Drop Hammer





I have black 180mm Randal Trucks already that I would pair one of these boards up with.

I would need wheels and bearings.

So please, if you have any opinion on any of these boards versus the other let me know.

I would love simple recommendations of wheels and boards (I'm looking at gumballs)

I want a smaller board, with a lot of flex (I"m 190 lbs) that is agile, fast, a good carver, with moderate downhill ability (not as important)

Please help.. thanks for the responses

I'm fairly sure the Timeline is flexier than the Spliff.

Umm... yeah. Thats all I got for ya. But the Spliff is a great board! I love mine.

Which would you buy right now?

I would steer away from the LY urban assault. From what i have read on here there are very few people that like it and a lot of people that dislike it. Also im pretty sure it doesn't have much flex, same as the spud.

I think any of the first 3 boards would be good.

As for wheels gumballs would be fine, you might want to look at some Abec 11 zig zags or some earthwing 66mm superballs.

I own the Spliff, and its my first board chosen over all others.

If I could get a second board, right now, free of charge? Hmm... Rayne Hellcat, probably. But maybe a Never Summer Norad. Or a Felxdex 29", for fun. Perhaps the Rayne Hustler? Or maybe a nice, long, pintail. *Sigh* so many boards, so little money.

Per your spec's...I think you are on the right track with the Battle Axe.

If you wish to go shorter/stiffer..I would consider the Drop Hammer.
Boards

or maybe the LBL Drop Pin.
LongboardLarry - Drop pin

A stiffer Pinatil? (may require a truck rethink...)

I like Gumballs! (have yet to try Big Zigs)
66mm Superballs have fairly firm riding characteristics IMO (core size/thane depth?) but I would like to try thr 76mm's.

Out of those, paired with (50 deg?) Randals and Gumballs, the Rayne Hustler would be perfect.

Yessir, 50 Degree randal RIIs heh

Have you considered a loaded dervish or vanguard?

They might be a bit longer than what your looking for but they have tons of flex and seem to fit your other specifications.

I have a question.... how tall are you?

I'm 6'1" do you think I would have trouble with the spliff?

I'm 5'10" and fairly light, but its totally ridable by bigger/heavier/taller dudes. Check out the Spliff introductory video, the rider seems like a fairly big guy. You'll be fine with the board, unless you have an uber-wide stance. Like, wiiiiiide stance.

Edit: The Hustler by Rayne is also a great board. I wouldn't see you going wrong with that, either. Depends on what kinda deck you want under you, too, I guess. The Hustler has a different shape=different feel.
