    Default Help choosing between boards.

    So I am graduating soon and I am going to be getting a gift from my parents, so I decided to go with a new skateboard. I already have a good speed board and a good mini, so now I want a good mid sized deck. I am looking at the following boards to choose from: Rayne Agent, Earthwing Drifter (35"), Loaded Pintail, or Loaded Fish. I weigh 240 and I am 6' 2". The main reason i want a mid sized board is for learning how to slide and having a good sized city cruiser. Any feedback is appreciated .

    Those are all great boards from what I hear and from personal experience.

    The earthwing drifter. Really easy to ollie up curbs for actual city riding. Set it up with indy 169s and slide duro superballs for sliding and a set of softer wheels for cruising. You're probably going to buy new, but I'm selling a lightly used one.

    Edit: the loaded pintail complete with zig zags and paris trucks looks sexy as all get out. If this is on someone else's dime, cop that one and buy the EW drifter custom complete from Mile High Skates with your own money.

    Maybe consider the LBL Ono or the Comet Proflex 40
