The new "NEW" stuff

Hello, Silverfish. Sorry I haven't been on in forever. It turns out that I was having too much fun. Anyway, I've been looking around lately for a new board to replace my Custom 35. The trucks are killing me with their incessant squeaking and I want to move up on the scale. I am becoming interested in stand-up slides so I won't have to go through another pair of shoes from footbraking this hill right by my house. I want something that can slide like pretty well, has a little bit of flex, and I would be able to go over the edges of sidewalks. I already have some Paris 180's and some Orangatang Durians lying around, I just need the new deck. Right now, I'm looking at the Landyachtz Switch, the Rayne Hellcat and maybe, just maybe, a Tan Tien when they come out. I'm completely open to other ideas!!! Thanks!!!

MK

i think hellcat would be a good option and you can always DH on it later

The hellcat is a good option but it doesn't have much flex, if any. Check out the BC Eel or the Comet Loki or Rayne Hustler. All good all around boards.

I like a little damp flex for freeriding in general. But still stiff so i can bomb on it. Good bushings are your friend. For me they're the most important piece to get real comfortable. The rest of your setup sounds perfect to.
Have fun
