New old slalom decks

**GastonCountyCarver** · 08-26-2009 06:45 PM

Any thoughts on a good solid Re entry Board into the sport of Slalom/Cone shreddin? I have looked at the Gravity 32 inch for the faster Giant Slalom,and a few other smaller Boards for flatter Slalom.What about any retro decks for Slalom? Any input or Opinions ?

The Gravity is a fun board, but not really ideal for slalom,
especially not fast giant slalom..
I think you'd be better off looking at Sk8Kings boards..
They're hard to beat for the money..And they have great deals
on completes ready to race.

Check out Pocket Pistol Skates and Fullbag Skates too. You'll have plenty of dedicated slalom models to choose from with those 3 brands without emptying your bank account.

Ready to race completes are super cool, and good for some people. But finding out what to put together and why is part of the fun, and will make you understand it too.

If you need help or info on Fullbag Skates, send me an email.

The Pocket Pistols I tried were a little flexy and the Sk8Kings a little heavy.

Check out the Skaterbuilt Cone Killers. Formica bottom, choice of sizes. Not expensive. I like mine a lot.

Skaterbuilt Mike Masey or Konekillers...Excellent decks that will last years, and win races. The Sk8kings line of decks is great too. The Lynn Kramer is particularly nice.
