    Default help me for a mini

    I need a new mini despritely but i havent comited to one board yet. I've been looking at the legendary gnome and merline but i have also looked at some blunts like the s9 city cruser. the landyachtz mummy looks fun too. Any one who could give me some feed back about these boards or other boards 30 inches or smaller would be much apreciated.

    Don't buy the gnome or merlin. Those 2 decks suck, and Legendary is run by a douchebag. The previously mentioned decks are good, as well as the Bustin Spliff. I personally cut down a street skating deck and love it. Super small(22 inches), I can take it anywhere, and you can turn like nobody's buisness on it.

    Man. Just a few months ago, everyone was singing Legendary's praises. What really happened? I remember tons of people really enjoying their Gnomes and Merlins, so I wouldn't go so far as to say they outright suck...

    Personally I think you should get the Galac Balboa 29.

    I just got my gnome. Its really, really carvy, alot of fun. But pumping is not the easiest because of the wheel cutouts so you have to get your front foot positioned perfectly. However, if you do it, it pumps like mad. And for 40 dollars, you really cannot beat that price

    Check out samhell's boards.
    Galac Land Surfing Home

    I own the Balboa 31, and set up properly it is pump and carving marvel. You can't go wrong with the Balboa 29 either. I haven't had the opportunity to ride any other board.
