Heellllllllluuuuuuu....
I need some opinions on boards.
my subsonic reflex broke a few days a go
Im 15, around 5,5 weigh 110 pounds, and where a shoesize 8.
im a fairly experienced rider and im looking for a board that will handle up to 60 mph.
ive been getting into racing more and more.
i dont see a lot of speedboards other than landyachtz where i live.
so your input would be very appreciated.
ian comishin.

i think you would like the hellcat... i have it and i think it is amazing, very stable with bear 1040's....
i have mine set up with bear 1040's, white jimz bushing up front with black in the back, with earthwing superballs or lime bigzigs depending on the mood im in... very fun board.
also fun with red khiro bitch bushing!

Well, let's start by evaluating what kind of board shape you prefer: topmount, drop-through or dropped? Also, what kind of runs do you normally skate? If you are doing a lot of Tech stuff, a lot of guys here like topmounts due to the extra grip they provide. There are a lot of factors to consider if you are looking for something very specific to your riding style.
The best answer, IMO, is to just try out a few boards and find one with some sweet concave that you feel comfortable tucking and cornering on, and then just ride the hell out of it until you know nothing else.
Well, at least that's what I've been trying to do...

sounds like you need a mans board. email dave rogers or pm me if you want a rogers deck. everyone knows the aluminum 3 piece and the top mount but i think we got some 9 or 10 ply roland decks maybe if your lucky... socal!!

my last board was a double drop subsonic reflex 40, great board untill it broke.
i ride dropped thru or just drop, im not looking for a top mount.
mostly i ride runs 35 to 60 mph, with some good cornering, hardly any hairpins though.
so cornering isnt the most important thing, i want a board thats comfortable at speed, concave that will lock my feet in, corners fairly well, and should last me a while.

heres an old video of me on an evo, im the little guy with the green helmet. http://vimeo.com/1880238
Im assuming u have a relatively small tuck
Landyachtz Drop Wedge
I have the same stats as u except iv got bigger feet and if I wanted a drop through, id definitely get the Drop Wedge.
I've got a drop chalise and love it. Perfect amount of strength with a tiny bit of give to make riding more smooth. Lots of room for your front foot and it is a pretty shape
Well since you are used to the double drop. Im gonna say go with a Rayne demonseed. Tons of foot space. Option to top mount. Super stable geometry, and concave that grips like a giant squid's suckers.
DEMONSEED FTW!
