board stolen -- getting a new one

[saves th3 day]

Alright.. long story short my board is gone. I had..

*Sector 9 Carving Series Pintail
*180 RII Trucks
*Gumball (I think 67ish) wheels
*Swiss Bones Bearings
*Some small risers

now I'm looking to get another board.. I guess sector 9 is out of the question.. and I want something for downill and carving.. something smooth, flexy, yet stable. I was thinking of..

*Landyachtz Pinner
*180 RII Trucks or Holey Trucks
*76mm Gumballs
*Angled Risers
*Idk what bearings..

Any helps, comments, or suggestions are appreciated

EDIT: Extra info.. I'm 5' 8" and weigh 130lbs

why is sector9 outta the question? i think a bomb hills platinum series is good for what you want... keeping your new setup too and just get a bomb hills

loaded pintail or vanguard

Seems alot of people around here dislike the sector 9 and I hear only good things from landyachtz

[ryanredbaron]

people just dislike sector cause lots of people have them.... they just "dont wanna be like everyone else" so its just weather you can handle being like 4 other people in your town or not... up to you


btw landyachtz kick a** too

Ah I don't really care who makes the board.. I just want a good board that performs well.

The pinner looks a lot like the last board I had and I really liked the feel of that one
Would I be able to run RII 180mms on the pinner or would I have to use 150?

What a coincidence. I just found a S9 Carver Series Pintail w/ some Gumballs.


Wait nope I just found a nickel....in my pocket.... eh it was sorta similar.

[ryanredbaron]

in my own experience the bomb hills platinum can do it all... some people take it down gmr, and i can carve almost any hill. it feels like you are riding on the board, not just trying to balance on the middle. Very nice feel. But its up to you

Hmm can I get a link to that ^^

dont just settle for this one... do some more research because maybe this isnt your style... landyachtz own too

Personally I'd go for the 150s, but I'm all about being able to turn tight if I want to.

What about wheels and bearings.. I want something sticky but something I can still coleman slide with if I have to.

Out of experience with messing around with my board way too much, just get super grippy wheels like BigZigs or Grippins (Gummies would work too...) or drift-oriented wheels. That way you won't have so much trouble getting your board to slide evenly (by setup or skill) when you accidentally lose traction in a turn. I suggest trying some hard Flywheels or Strikers or somethin (ask Skatardude10, I'm no expert on drifty DH wheels and I know he's got a few notches in his belt...)
The downside of trying to get both is that you'll have to buy wheels according to your wheight and the ones that grip corners well usually chatter and are hard to learn to slide on at first. I've got a friend who started on an Evo (Landyactz) with Gumballs and he still can't slide :\

I drift my 75a Grippins all the time. Great wheels!!!

what's funny is that i feel like SOOO many people have loaded vanguards, do you ever think that loaded will be not as well liked because everyone likes them? like i might feel silly if a lot of people had the same board as me, (loaded fish), but then again, it's an awesome board, and so is the vanguard, so is an awesome board an awesome board regardless?

i'll stop talking now.
