Default substitute for street luges/classic luge

hi whats a good longboard (an actual longboard) thats good for street luging?

u know an actual longboard. not a street luge nor a classic luge/buttboard.

im thinking maybe a long deck with racing trucks/wheels/bearings?

an evo would be awesome except its not gonna be comfortable laying down on it because its angled.

Click the image to open in full size.
The guy in that picture (Thilo) is riding an old style classic luge which was the common type of deck back in the days (from what I heard).
Nearly every longboard should do the job as long as it has a quare shape and some handles or rails underneath.
Sorry, that I can not tell you any brands, because I have no clue about longboards.

Ok, I realize that Im not answering your question but why not just build your own buttboard? It will be more functional, cooler and you can take pride in actually building something.

S9 bombhills works pretty damn well. Nice and wide with lots of room to get over the front truck.

Any wood top-mounted speedboard functions well as a buttboard. If it's not wood or has drop then, if it is comfortable, it is a luge.
