Sector 9 - CHOPES - COSMIC SERIES

**denis6902** · 12-20-2006 04:08 AM

Hey guys,

Would this CHOPES - COSMIC SERIES, be a good board for speed? Does any of you have it for speed?

What trucks on it? Force c7? What do you guys think?

Help me as i never done speeding approprietly, i always did it with my other S9 - wich has kick nose and tail....or powell.

The dimensions look pretty small in every direction... 38" is long enough, but you usually see guys riding decks between 40-42". A 25" wheelbase might be pretty unstable at high speeds but will handle corners nicely. 8.5" width might be okay for you, but I wear size 13 shoes and like something between 9.5 and 10".

Look into the Bomb Hills or Goddess of Speed models, both have been proven race boards.

It's because i got it from ebay for a bargain price, therefore i bought it. Cause it was real cheap.

And i though about some better trucks, cause it has gulwing mission or something like that, i suppose it still got the stock trucks bearings and wheels.

Perhaps i could be a good carver deck then? Instead of c7's i should get some r7's then? Therefore i could also try to flip hangers and so on.

Talking about Force's how about their decks??? (Just a simple question dudes. Are they good?)

Has anyone tried them out already?

**Longbord1** · 12-20-2006 03:48 PM

doesn't that board have a kicktail?

**Maxtreme307** · 12-20-2006 05:47 PM

my friends brother rides one with flipped r7s, and hes taken it about 35-40

**wilder** · 12-20-2006 05:53 PM

man, ive been looking at those force decks for a looooooong time, and i get a semi every time. theyre made in AUS and i dont think theres a US distributor. MHM, are you reading this??????

yeah, Force decks look sick!

plus, that sickboards website has them for 110 Euros. too much dough/plus shiping for me.

i have one i skate with it all the time its a good allaround board bombing or carving. (the sector nine chopes that is.

**lettucefresh** · 12-20-2006 06:18 PM

if you want people to comment on a board, it helps to have a picture and/ or a link to it.

my DH board has a 29" WB and is 9.5 wide and i ride on the very small side for DH boards
that said, i've skated a 22 inch wheelbase to well over 40mph before on trucks very similar to the stock ones on that S9.
you'd probably just be better off trading it for a Bomb hills or GOS, or really any moderately stiff pintail.

the force decks look nice, although all the shapes are kind of whack except for the force carbon.

Which board do ya mean??? The S9 or the FORCE?

**denis6902** · 12-21-2006 05:22 AM

@WILDER

That's true, this website from NL, was the only website i saw these boards. The Carbon edition is awesome! For me it doesn't go to much cause i live in UK and the postage from there would not go so $$$$$$. Though the board already cost a lot, if you compared with the Biggest names out there.

Cheers man...thats all good to know....

Letucefresh

Sorry mate for not having done this before, which could be actually much easier...
I already bought the board, cause it was a bargain on ebay. And i do a lot of Cruising, carving and mainly sliding. (Though i hate to to sliding with short boards). I love OLD SCHOOL man....i has to big longboarding literally.

And i was just asking you guys for some help. To know if these board could also be good for speeding, cause then i could get some better trucks with a smaller angle. like the c7. FORCE COMPETITION 7. 35degrees right?

PICS OF THE CHOPES:

cheers all!

Theres no reason why you cant ride it and go fast. Thats up to you.
but if you want something that is designed to go fast above everything else, then something flat,(ie no camber) concave and stiff as hell is the way to go. Wide is good, and a wheelbase about 30-35 inches does the trick.

Oh yeah, I'll get right on that... NOT.

Still waiting for a reponse from Force as to why they sent silver trucks instead of the black ones that I ordered.

**green bull** · 02-06-2007 05:54 PM

just bought a chopes deck i hope it works good a lil small for large bombing though

If you want one, I have a friend who is sponsored by Force...
He rides the DH...

**longboardorific** · 02-07-2007 05:31 AM

i have 2 freinds who bomb on that deck with randalls and gumballs. they havent gone to fast but it depends how fast you are wanting to go

**Basch** · 02-07-2007 10:02 AM

I'm interested in the Force too. the topmount looks awsome.

Yea, I saw them about 3 months ago on some european website and really liked the top mount.

**Basch** · 02-09-2007 11:25 AM

Well I'll be paying sickboards a visit one of these days So I might check it out IRL then. I'm going to setup my voodoo with originals and am planning to buy a second voodoo so I won't have to switch trucks every time when I go DH riding (I now have it with crails). But then again, the force is almost the same price. SO I might get a force instead of an extra voodoo.

I'll just have to think about it a bit more and see it IRL first

**shoopie** · 05-28-2007 07:23 PM

i got the chopes and took it to a small newly paved hill down the street, i barely pushed and i went down and the high speed wobble started and i couldn't stop it and i fell and ate the pavement so hard and it hurt. this is definately not made for down hill or speed but its great for goin around town and stuff, does anyone know any tips or something that will stop this from happening in the future????
