I'm 5' 2" 90lbs and i'm looking for a good board. i'm willing to spend as much as $250 for the new setup. Any suggestions for my new board.

ok well im not surly not an expert at sliding but there are slid specific set ups with hard wheels and a board simular to a free style deck. but i slid on my kracked skulls with purple orangatangs. In my opinion kracked skulls is the best all around longboard if you need transportation, cruse, carve and do some soft wheel sliding. ive taken it up to 35 mph's and been pretty comfortable.

I looked the board up and I think I want a smaller board with some flex to it and im only 90 lbs.

I would definitely get the loaded dervish - you can definitely get one for that price (from stokedskateboards.com, at least - which i recommend), and it's just a great all-around board. When I first started longboarding, I got a sector 9 goddess 46" pintail - and I was pretty happy with it (mostly). Then my friend let me take his dervish for a spin - I honestly couldn't live with my sector 9 anymore - the dervish rides like a dream. Such a great board in so many ways - and reading what you're looking for in your board, it looks like it's just what the doctor ordered.

but that's just my opinion

I looked at stoked skateboards and the randall trucks were only 22$ is that only for 1 truck or 2 because thats really cheap.

I don't like Sector 9 but that Bullet is Sexxxxxxxx I would be all over that if I was looking for a starter deck. Hell I would get it now if I wasn't getting something else for my quiver. Hoborik look at the Bullet he is selling.
