Default campus cruiser recommendations
I'm going to UCF and I'm looking for a new board to use as a campus cruiser.

I've already got a flushcut, an arcane mini on order, and a dervish that I'm trying to sell (anyone interested?), so I don't need a mini or a dh board.

So far I've been looking at the supercharger, the kommi, and the fullbag speed cruzer, all set up with either fastracks or 50* randals and powerballs.

Im looking for something in the 38" to 46" range and I'm planning on using for getting to class, garages, and cruising.

Throw some suggestions at me please!

I would suggest a Spliff, it rides like a really big board, but is 31". What flex is your Dervish?

Kracked Skulls Scimitar
Randal 180s
Pink Powerballs
whatever bearings and bushings you want

Not a DH board but it will get you down a hill. Lot of fun to ride too.

Superglider with Indys and Powerballs. It'll be way more agile than anything with reverse kingpin trucks.

I'm selling it for ~170 shipped. I'd also be willing to trade it for somthing, just give me an offer.

And mark, I had a Larry bertleman 33 that I sold. Its pretty similar to those boards and I'm looking for somthing longer.

I'm actually considering the superglider with either indy 169s or 150mm fastracks and powerballs. How much riser would I need on that? What's the standing platform like compared to a flushcut or dervish? And finally, how stable will this setup be?
