downhill/slide/everything deck!!

bmblaxslider · 08-17-2008, 09:20 PM

yeah so my longboard got jacked at the skatepark when i accidentally left it there... so i'm looking to buy a new board thats real nice for downhilling but can still slide and carve it up real nice.
umm before i had a gravity 43 carve with revenge and 76mm gumballs. pretty fun to mess around on. but yeah i'm looking for a new board. iv looked at some of the rayne boards but theyr real pricey. maybe the brad edwards board. or a loaded.
i just need some opinions on a good all around board.

Rayne Hustler. The only downside I've found is its not symmetrical. That, and you can't do extreme DH on it.

i really like my rayne hellcat with 52° 180 randals for that. it carves pretty well, even at flat ground speeds. downhill is great, board feels really stable and it carves beautifully at speeds past 25km/h. the setup is probably most suited for freeride/slopestyle type of riding, with lots of standup slides, rather than straight bomb. havent had wobbles yet though.

i have it set up with blue kryptos, its extremly slide. when pavement gets rougher its like skating on gravel. though fairly controllable, its pretty scary.

either a loaded or a landyachts dude. i just bought a evo 2008 and its gotten pretty good reviews.

sector nine kommi or bomb hills.

kommi is drop through and shorter, bomb hills is topmount and longer. for trucks i suggest tracker fastracks becuase they are so damn versatile. stock they are really stable but they turn deeep. if you want a quicker response you can get softer "regular" sized bushings.

as far as wheels go there is a ton of choices. but since you want an "all round board" get pink powerballs. they slide great and grip pretty well too

earthwing 38" drifter or grav BE40
indy 169's, dewedged to the specs in "official guide to riding indys for DH"
noskoolz, grippens maybe...some 70ish mm, soft wheel with rounded lips

Loaded devish the flex 1 is good for both used to ride big zigs but their new orangatangs are bad ass i like the in heats.

SilverSurfer92 · 08-19-2008, 04:56 PM

i love my dervish for all the things you said. its a great all around board that you can use for almost anything

landyachtzevo827 · 08-21-2008, 08:36 AM

I would go with a dervish or a hellcat

243racing · 08-21-2008, 08:52 AM

Nemesis, Demonseed or Hellcat.

streetheap · 08-21-2008, 09:10 AM

I second the Hustler
Also maybe an Earthwing Supercharger or Superglider
Landyachtz drop Speed or Wedge
Any of the Motion boards

if you're thinking rayne is too pricey, you might want to steer clear of loaded as well.

Cheefa · 08-21-2008, 09:13 AM

ok everyone who suggests a loaded is retarded, It is terrible for freeride/DH and he already mentioned that rayne is a little over priced for him... so you all suggest a board that is about 50$ more.

I say you should go with an s9 bombhills with randal 180's and flashbacks. It's fairly cheap and a fun all around setup.
