I was one of thems around a year ago . Then I bought a skate tool, joined the 'fish, ordered some randals, and found out that my stock alpines sucked as well as most of the components on my complete. However, everyone has to start somewhere .

Anyways to contribute, I agree with whoever said not wide enough.

Earthwing Wider-glider: More cushion for the pushin'.

looks quite alot like the lush kilima, but narrower. 8.5 is well narrow, what an odd dimension.

what is its purpose? ie whats it designed to do?

[Alpha06]

I'm learning how to skate switch on it

And ive taken it close to 40, definitely doable but somewhat uncomfortable with how narrow it is. Its more fun for screwing around in tight corners (concave holds your feet in even if it is narrow) and just cruising, since its pretty light.

If I get the Sunset board or 9 Star, what trucks do you guys recomend putting on them?

i would add the BH sketch, but seeing as the only flushed it for their own trucks...i have no interest.

this on the other hand, could be entertaining....

And the Wedge.
It's actually a decent board, I think it's constructed of aspen and mahogany with biaxial fiberglass.

Those are really the only S9 wheels I like. All their other ones feel dead and kind of sluggish.

Are Paris 180's good for downhill?

no but I have ridden all of their other wheels and they suck

Well no #### those suck, those are wheels they sell on their completes. Go ride the RF's and youl think differently.

Yea but just because one set of s9 wheels doesn't suck doesn't mean in general they have very crappy wheels

Why is the deck so skinny?

True, but they have made the "better" wheels you said they should make.
Try em out.
