    Get 96a No Skoolz or Rainskates Hornets.

    you can't go wrong with either. the no skoolz flatspot less easily and are more predictable, but the Rainskates slide easier.

    Hahar... Stanton already tried that crappy line. Anything over 90a with rounded edges should do fine. Also get some gloves cuz in your video you guys are all barehanded, 180s are possible without gloves, but I don't think 360s or more are.

    Hey CS2, I'm about to get a Fish med flex in a trade... and I have 77mm Strikers... I'm going to try myself, but was wondering what did you like about that combination. If I don't like it, I might put it up for sale... know anyone who would want a slightly used Loaded Fish?

    Hmm... it's like $112 shipped normally. So I'll offer it for $77 shipped (30% off). It is a medium flex, here are some photos.




    Do you need some wheels (almost now Avilas 80a $38 shipped with the board)? and bearings (Biltin ABEC-5 $18).

    NoSkoolz in 96a slide best but dont have a lot of control. Once they let go your gone. Rainskates flatspot easier because of the thinner contact patch (I havent flatspotted mine yet) but they slide is a bit more controlled and predictable I guess. If you want a longer slide get NoSkoolz. If you want tech sliding you might wanna try Rainskates. You really can't go wrong though.

    Huh... I got a used pair of NoSkools in 98a. I can do 180 on heelside and toeside, but I was having trouble slowing down the spin on my BE40. It was like their would break into a slide and spin really fast. Maybe I throw on my 88a Strikers to try (I've been saving them).

    Well they have 98 written on them with a pen. I suspect they are older versions.

    I got the Rainskates hornets. They are really easy to slide with. Predictable and "slippery".
