Oh jeez (new board choice)

**Hubs** · 09-08-2009 06:48 PM

Well I'm probably going to trade in my Rayne Hustler once my replacement comes in because I really have no use for it since it sucks for dancing and riding switch. So what I want to find out is what board would be symmetrical for a lot of sliding. It would also be good to have a nice nose and kick tail that are equal for manuals and shuvits. It also should have a pretty good length for a little dancing. Some boards I'm looking at are the LBL Komodo and Earthwing Boomerang, but those are both pretty expensive decks and I'm not sure if there are any others out there that would be good for this.

The komodo would be geared more towards dancing, its a little on the big side for normal riding (i thought it was a longer length atleast correct me if im wrong)

The boomerang doesn't really have a nose and the tail is minimal even with the shortest wheelbase, on top of that its only 38" so theres no much room for dancing and stuff like that.

Check out the rayne forge, thats longer with double kicks. The earthwing supercharger will have a kicktail and since its longer than the glider it'll probably have enough room for a little dancing. Those are two options worth checking out that i can think of off the top of my head

Have you checked out the Rayne Forge ?

It has some nice kicks and plenty of room to do some boardwalking, and it seems to be slideable.

I think you should probably check out the Rayne Forge. It has double kick tails.

ive waited long enough for someone to say it so ill do it...dervish.

it has enough tail for me and my friends at least. others could argue it doesnt have enough tail. but sure, its bi-directional and you can dance on it too

or the equally priced holesom street sweeper.

Based on what you want, this seems to be one of the few viable options. I normally tend against dervishes, but it'll do well for you. Most sliding boards are a bit shorter, because it gets a bit hard to swing around a larger board for sliding, and dancing is a bit hard with a shorter sliding board, especially since double kicks take up a bit of foot room for the deck.

The forge will do well, but if you plan on doing ALOT of sliding as opposed to just shutdowns/standups, the dervish could do well.

Well why did you wait so long? How long were you waiting? Did you wait a long time? Were you sitting in front of your monitor, vigorously chewing your finger nails yelling "Why doesn't someone say it? You all know you want to say it, but you're NOT SAYING IT!! SAY IT MAN!! SAY IT!! C'MON, YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO!!.....what is wrong with you people. Just sitting back, relaxing, not saying anything, as if you think this guy has all day to wait on you................WELL HE DOESN'T!! HE HAS A LIFE YA' KNOW. HE HAS THINGS TO DO. YOU JUST CAN'T SIT AROUND ALL DAY DOING NOTHING!! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE???"

And you just couldn't wait no more. You tried to wait, but ENOUGH IS ENOUGH DAMMIT!!!!

Is that kinda' what happened?
