Longboarding Resources & Q/AGet or give friendly, patient answers to, "Which board should I get?", "How do I stop?" or "What's wedging and how do I do it?"
Hey everyone, I decided that I want to build my first long board and keep it around a $200 limit. I'm looking for a all around long board but more cruising and carving, so far I decided to get these:
I like the deck, that's why I already ordered it =). I just need more recommendations on alternate trucks instead of showing me a completely different board.
Well if this is just for cruising/carving, just get some Paris or Randal 180mm trucks and put some better bushings in them or if you are willing to spend $60 on your trucks, get some Bennett 6.0 trucks, they are an amazing ride and you dont have to switch out the bushings
from experience the sidewinder trucks are horrible, honestly they just suck. i'd go with something like randals or paris like everyone is saying. another alternative would be the gullwing chargers if your not gonna ride your board super hard because they bend. also with the chargers you basically have to get new bushings because the stock ones are terrible...way too soft.
