    Default Longboard Setup Question

    I am used to riding regular cruiser boards I'm looking for a more high performance sick ass setup. I like to skate hills banks pretty much anything what would be a good all around board setup. I was thinking about getting like an earthwing supercharger with bear grizzlies, some swiss bones and some 70mm grippins. Help me out with some other high performance board combinations.

    I would recommend 10" GullWing Chargers and Powerballs for an excellent all-around setup.

    The gullwing chargers are pretty sick or will they stay stable at high speed

    It depends on what you call "high speed," and what your ability is. They're very similar to Randals, and plenty of people go fast on Randals.

    they're bases come in 9 and 10 inch. the 10 inches are a little wider than the 180 randals so its a little more stable ride but you sacrifice some of the turning ability and what not

    actually, the hangers are in 9 and 10 inches.

    and the few millimeters wider the gullwings are is probably not noticable.

    fibreflex kicktail rocks for the skating described above. stiff enough for the banks and hills/garages, but awesome flex for pumping and carving- the kicktail is pretty useful, too
