Need new all around board, any ideas?

[masscruzer2111]

So my homemade board snapped yesterday, and im using that as my excuse to buy a real board. Im looking for a great all around board with these characteristics:

• 40-44 inches long
• 9+ inches wide
• relatively stiff to rock solid
• concave
• can fit 75mm wheels with no wheel bite
• good for sliding, DH, crusing, carving
• under $150 for the deck

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

What trucks do you plan to use?

The Pressure Drop RD-42 has generous concave and would serve you well.
pressuredroplongboards- skateboards, longboards, board sports

i was planning on getting some randalls, the only problem with that RD042 is that it says there is a 180 limit. As of right now im 6 feet 180 and growing.

The 180lb limit is for the drop through due to the cut outs, No worries with the top mount.

What about the Comet FSM?

I haven't checked the price though.

[krebhorn]

139.99 for comet FSM.

it's worth it... get the flushmount and there is less worry about wheel bite.

THe FSM is a great deck. I'm running Holey's on mine.

What trucks do you have? (planning on getting Randals)

Someone is going to say get an EVO, but don't listen. Don't get me wrong, I own one, but it isn't really an "all-around" board IMO. Yes, it fits all of your above requirements, and yes, Landyachtz's site says it is "all around", but it is under the downhill section for a reason.

[lizardbowl12]

i kno nobody but actually people who have it like it but...bistin strike? its 38" and wheel bite is in your mind with this board. and it can still be used as a mediumly sized hill DH board, but i wouldnt recomend it if your goin 40+

My deck is a motion, model nicotino. I've ridden it for about 2 weeks now and love it. Goes all around nicely. I got it mounted with randals 180, abec 7, and nineballs race formula 76 mm 78a. I've done some pretty long distances with it. The only thing is that it's a bit high of the ground for pushing with your foot all the time, but it was not that much of a big problem. You should check out motion longboards.

right now im almost set on a hellcat. does anyone see any problems with that. Ive read alot of reviews and threads and alot of ppl say that its great for carving with the right trucks and bushing setups. Im also really diggin the pleasure dome from wut i see.

did u check out the never summer heist?

ya i was lookin into that for a while but i feel like it would be too flexy, im looking for something more dh and freeride oriented.

[AngryGumball]

A few inches too long and a bit flexy, but I'd say and recommend the GBomb Cambiar. It is very well suited for many types of riding and is a comfy board to cruise on and push. I believe there are 2 flex options now as well. There's some subtle concave, enough to lock you in and feel the edges and bouncy enough to take up the vibrations of the sidewalk or street.

go for it. its awespme for everything you want. definately one of the best boards ive ever ridden. and yeah if you do much toeside drifting you will really like the pleasure dome. god i feel bad i didnt think of that the second i read the OP.

I was gonna go for the hellcat. rode the 08 an 09, liked both, then got this:
Mile High Skates


Mine's 9-ply rather than 8 ply, but it gives less than my evo. seriously. sick concave, loooow, stable (mines set up with 50-50 randals on venoms and the back is dewedged 5*; I went between 40 and 45 today with no problems).
