Sector 9 "9 Star" Preview (Pics etc...)

[Smokey Bear]

where can you get one?

you can get one from the sector 9 website but i haven't seen it on TLS, DBS, or longboard skater.com yet.


I swear to god if this thread becomes a debate about sector 9's quality I'm going to kill something.

Buy it as a deck only and put on decent hardware. Or buy a complete, and swap out the gullwings and make a shlong

word, people need to quit bitching about the bad trucks when the option is right there.

Board looks good. I like

I was really curious five months back about making my 'bomb hills' into a drop-thru. So I tweeked with designs and broke out the jig 2 weeks ago and went to town and this is what the finished pro-DUCK looks like.

One thing for sure about this board, big ####ING improvement! Its like a new board. Has some flex but stable, too bad its a 7 ply and not the 8 I thought it to be. Oh well, I love the new ride.

[jlmitch]

I'll put in a plug for the Race Formula line, too. Pretty good!

The majority of people who buy stock S9 completes won't be able to notice or appreciate the difference between Randal, Paris, or GullWing trucks. Hell, there are plenty of people riding stock S9 completes that will never even adjust their trucks.

haha yeah my friend is like that! he has is sector 9 and has never taken out the bearings, adjusted his trucks rotated his wheels!

I've taken it to 37mph (gpsed), 88a flashback style hehe. Definitely would like more footspace up in front. Mild hills, this deck is fine for sure. I'd like a bit more concave up front and rear too. Racing deck? Hells no.

The board looks pretty sick but I think they had it right with the kommi. It's the only s9 deck I still ride and it was the first deck IMO that was a strong step towards downhill that retained that s9 style

[melifont monk]

S9 has made five boards i would ever actually pay to own (potentially)

- original series comsic carver
- kamikaze
-kommi
-s9 race
-this^^^

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....

The Kommi suffers from terrible wheelbite. With Chargers and 65mm wheels I had to basically "lock out" my trucks so that I wouldn't get wheelbite.

[Alpha06]

I managed to get paris trucks dropped through with their own little exclusive "gullwing" cutouts. If anybody needs up close pics of this, let me know. And no, I didn't need to rasp anything.

Very true. I modified the wheel wells to fit my 81mm race forms but on 75 mm wheels and smaller I never had a problem. I still tthink it's the best all around board they've made to date. Great for technical runs dh free ride( what I use it for now)

And I have some 65mm slide forms on their right now and I can ride it loose as all hell

[CasterTown]

Has anyone e-mailed s9 yet to bring them up to speed about what "topmount" means and how the term is used?

[Wells]

This deck looks like Calista Flockhart: way too skinny, and probably not that fun to ride.

Max Wins...

The Kommi? "All around board"? What?

The Kommi has huge wheel cutouts and lacks a kicktail. How anyone can call a deck like that "all around" is beyond me.

agreed. win.
Did this deck ruin Harrison Ford's career as well? Oh wait. His last movies already sucked.

[oxford]

nice tempting

[_Riley]

the only thing sector 9 needs to do is make their race decks available.

your right. Let me correct myself. It's great all around for me cuz I dh, slide, carve and cruise. I just don't need a kicktail

[gordito8me]

what the hell kind of name is calista anyway?
