I am loving cruising around the neighborhood on my board. I started our using it as transportation, to get to the gym and stuff, but now I kinda like just riding it around for fun, especially now that it's summer.

I already feeling like I need to upgrade though. I really like the look of those Churchill drop throughs. Does anyone have any experience with them.

For lower speeds I definitely like paris trucks, bears gave me nothing but problems. If you want to push/cruise a nice big soft wheel would be good, maybe 78a. If you are pushing definitely look into drop decks or drop through mounting boards like panther said, or get the best of both worlds and get a double drop, both drop deck and drop through. Orangatang wheels in my opinion are over priced for the quality, much like loadeds boards. I love landyachtz decks, and bustin too. Wheels to look at would be Abec 11 for sure, like panther said. I like hawgs too.

Since you won't be doing hills, you're going to have to push a lot. Lower to the ground = way way easier on your knees and legs when you're pushing. I would get a lowrider or a drop through. Landyachtz are pretty cheap and good quality:

Lowrider (bent to ride low to ground):

http://www.landyachtz.com/D25.cfm?PID=562

Drop through (baseplate of trucks is secured to the top of the board, reduces height from ground by the thickness of the board:

http://www.landyachtz.com/D25.cfm?PID=544

Those are on the cheaper end, but still high quality. I have a really old drop speed, like the second one i posted, and it's a great board, super durable and pretty fun to ride, they've improved it a lot over the years. However, Landyachtz are typically solid maple construction, so they're not too flexy, which can also be fun.

I have a Load Tan Tien (bamboo) as well, it's sweet, it's a good cruising board if that's what you're looking for, among other things, but on the expensive side ($200 or so for the board). Bamboo is fun, especially if you're not bombing hills.

There are a ton of options out there, but I would put your own setup together, avoid buying a sector 9 or gold coast complete, you can get a lot more for you money. For trucks, I would go with either Bears or Paris, I personally like my Bears more, but they're both good. Wheels...lots to choose from. Abec11 and Orangatang are good choices. Don't go cheap if you're serious about longboarding...buy nice or buy twice.

well. the snows gone. Im selling all my snowboarding gear, Im moving to Florida soon, and I am looking at buying a longboard now. I do not have any hills and I dont want to go downhill on them so please dont take that into account. I really have no idea what im looking for, but I rode a sector 9 board, it was bamboo deck and I had alot of fun on it. It could make pretty tight turns and seemed like it would work well for what i want. I dont know which one it was though. If someone could suggest decent/inexpensive decks wheels and trucks etc that would be great! PM me with any info or help too if you want

I haven't had a whole lot of time on it yet, but so far I love it. Im running it with loose trucks and 75mm wheels and surprisingly have no bite. I haven't tried it sliding yet, but the ripples on it create little pockets so it should be fun. As for the concave in the tail, it is the greatest thing ever. Its so comfortable and keeps your foot on it. Once I get more time on it I'll make a more in depth review.

Yeah that pretty much sums it up. And its really all about how you like it. As long as you dont get wheel bite you can go as loose as you feel comfortable going. The looser you go the more responsive your board will be but you will be unstable at higher speeds.

It depends on whether the board is cut out for the wheels or if it just has wheel wells. If the board is cut out for the wheels, then you can go as loose as you want. If it has wheel wells, pay attention to how loose you put them so you dont get wheel bite. If you get wheel bite but they are still too tight then I would suggest riser pads. Just play around with it and find out what you want.

The board rolls really smooth, but the turning circle isnt great. If I want to loosen the trucks a little, how much is a little?

I messed up my bearings a little riding in heavy rain for a couple hours. I really should have stopped to think "oh wait its raining" haha. The only damage I can see it really doing to the actual deck is if its delam-ing on the edges and you water-log it. Even then, I doubt you'll notice it too much. Like steeze said though, going super fast=slide. Going slower=footbrake. Plus you cant really slide if you are going that slow anyways.

There's a couple ways to stop. One is to put your foot down but that doesn't work to well if you're bombing a hill. The best way to stop is by wearing a pair of slide gloves and sliding to stop. And if you board when it's wet outside it can potentially damage your bearings, unless you have ceramic bearings. I don't think its too bad to ride on slick roads as long as its not raining. I have done this in the past and I just cleaned my bearings and lubed them up after and they're perfectly fine.

This is a cool thread. Lots of good info, the buyers guide on silverfish is super helpful.

I'm getting a longboard just to cruise around my neighborhood on. I'm not really going to bomb huge hills or do tricks, just ride around. I may even see if I can get my kids to tow me on their bikes.

I'm looking at some blank completes on Ebay for a first board. I don't have too much to spend, and I figure like snowboarding, once I've got used to riding a while I'll have a better idea of what I really want and need.

Anything else I should know?

So I had a pretty close call today skating. I was coming down this road and I went to do a coleman right before a completely blind curve which wasn't the best idea. I drifted a couple feet into the other lane mid-slide, and a guy in a big van flew around the curve and slammed on the brakes like 10 feet from me.

I bet you could probably find them for a bit cheaper on some retail websites. And I'll be sure to post pics of the boards as soon as I make them, it will probably be a winter project cause I'm gonna take apart my current board at the end of the season because its starting to split but I can use it till the end of fall.

Cool, thanks. I was actually hoping for something around that size. That is pricey but have you seen what a good mountain board is complete? $250 and up seems to be the price for a decent one. Is that 74 for one truck or a pair? I need to start looking for them, or just bite the bullet and by a cheapo complete, but I hate to do that when I know I could make what I'm looking for for less.

That price is for the pair. If you look around you can probably find them a couple bucks cheaper just using a google search.

thats such a great deal. I bought a snowboard with bindings for my little brother who was 8 years old for $6 at a garage sale.

I saw a $120 longboard on WhiskeyMilitia for $40. I was going to jump on that deal but they sold out so fast.

I was never really into the sliding, i can do it but i would rather just cruise and chill.

They were $70 which is definitely high but I got talked into it. They are supposed to last as long as two sets of other wheels though, and the my local shop said they are really hard to get. After almost a week of cruising and sliding they haven't coned or worn down at all really. They are freeride wheels and they do a great job at it. They are super smooth but can still throw a great slide out when you want them to. They break traction well and I feel like I have a lot of control of them, they won't slide out at all. They definitely seem to live up to their expectations so far though

No mine were brand new, just put on, and his were broken in a little. But he thought he was sliding better on my board because my trucks were looser. He doesn't have flat washers in his bears, and so the washers were really thick and he couldn't loosen the trucks too much, because if he did the nut would fall off because it didn't have enough room on the kingpin, if that makes any sense

My friend has some 86a fat frees he just put on his board, and I actually found my softer 80a zombie hawgz and my new these wheels to slide better than his. Maybe it had to do with his board and how my tomahawk has foot pockets, but I'm not sure. I was at my local shop today and decided to pick up some these wheels, and man are they great. They were leaving a weird blackish thane line, but it wasn't shedding any thane off the wheel really. But the name is so confusing for people

I but this together by drilling some holes through an old Head snowboard and attaching some old skateboard trucks. The thing is sketchy as can be but is a ton of fun.

Do you rock bindings or grip tape up top? I think I'd like to try something like that with wider trucks and grip tape. I've got a 155 Rage I could use, that's about all that board would be oood for.

I but this together by drilling some holes through an old Head snowboard and attaching some old skateboard trucks. The thing is sketchy as can be but is a ton of fun.

He edited his post because originally it said snowboard. I read it 3 times to make sure since I thought at the time it was weird he was talking about snowboards in here.

A longboard from a waterski is definitely possible seen it on built to shred before. If he's really interested a google search will bring up a bunch of info about it

They recently reissued Christian Hosoi's hammerhead board, as well as a few Powell Peralta decks. Crazy oldschool sweetness to those boards. Makes me want to watch Thrashin' and Gleaming the Cube again. Not to mention the old bone's brigade vids.

I have a clear 29" flexdex that's great for cruizing and is maneuverable as hell. It's heavier, so it rides like a longer board. My friends and I usually bomb/race down parking structures, but it's also great when I just want to go to the market and get a tallboy. Chug in the parking lot, like we're 16, and ride back home.

ive road the kracked skulls M1 and wasnt that impressed. my friend who has it likes it but he is more of a cruiser/commuter. i would recommend looking on craigslist and shoot for a complete around $130 and under. you can find some really good deals if you search college towns. also depends on what you what kinda riding you want to do.

It depends what you want to do. First off with a longboard it is easier to cruise around and bomb hills which is the primary purpose. Now more and more riders are starting to progress it to some freestyle so it is actually becoming more similar to skateboarding. It really all depends on what you want to do so your options are endless.

had an old palmer deck that i snapped the tail on. made a freehand 38 inch pintail cardboard template, jigsawed out the shape from the broken board, and sanded it down to the final pintail shape. quick clearcoat to seal the edges, some griptape and shes all done. also i threw some old freebord trucks on it and popped out the center wheels.

only took a few days, flex is a lil soft, but no where even close to dragging on the ground. its a lively fun ride.

Has anyone ever tried cutting their own board and have any advice?

Hey did you cut your board? I have done it once before and i just got my frigin landyachtz switchblade run over the other day so ill be doing it again. Moral of the story dont walk your dog while skating. when i go home i will take pictures of my old one and try and take pictures during the process of doing the switchblade. both of my boards were all wood. if you have a rayne or NS they have some other crap in there. I would be interested to see how your short board went.

Never tried it. Hadn't thought about it in a while but maybe this summer I'll get to it. I will probably just take it in to salty peaks and have them do it for me. They said it would cost like 20 bucks. I'll post pics if I ever get to it. ha

if you dont mind something a little pricey the loaded tan tien or dervish are really nice boards. but if you want something a little cheaper "gravity" and "never summer" provides a good amount of boards too. i never rode a sector 9 board before so i cant say anything about them, but people say they are good beginner boards too. any brands are all pretty much good. it all really depends on your preference. short or long board. thick or flexy board. and shape of board too. Theres pintails, dropthrough, cruisers, and some mix of hybrids and whatnot. me personally i like the dropthrough the most

Alright I am going to give it a shot. It may turn out horrible but I'm going to try. I'll post before and after pics when I'm done.

yeah, do it. just wear some gloves and a mask if you have some, and do it in the street or something. its one of those things, like never sand fiberglass, don't spray paint without a mask, don't put plastic in a fire...its not good for you, but its not going to kill you if you're careful. plus, the mini board will be sweet.

Never cut thru a long board, but I say go for it, wear gloves, eye protection, and a mask. Then post pics. By the way, it's always hard to find this thread because it is posted in "Gear Talk" rather then where most people default, "The Board Room".(But the "search" function does suck!).

So I have an old longboard that was run over. It snapped right underneath the rear truck. I am thinking about cutting it and making it a little mini board. I have heard that it's not safe to cut through the longboard because there will be microscopic fiberglass shavings that will get stuck in my skin.? Has anyone ever tried cutting their own board and have any advice?

I don't wear a helmet longboarding but that's because I don't ride hills. I just cruise around doing slides and dancing through the streets. Some pump carving. Last time I wore a helmet I still got a concussion, so I fail to see the point

I thought it funny that someone would ride without one, especially a noob, and was being SARCASTIC! (know what sarcasm is?, Sorry, no sarcasm font, I assume people have a enough sense to read into a post) And jus' so you don't think I'm a fag(like you), I've worn a helmet since I have been skating, since I was 8,(probably longer than you've been born), and have been wearing a helmet while snowboarding for 20 years. Do you wear a helmet when snowboarding, or are you one of those "fags" that makes fun of people wearing a helmet on the mountain?

Uhhdurrr.

I wear a helmet while snowboarding (most of the time), it would be illogical to not wear one while longboarding...on pavement. Let alone if riding while drinking.
Aside from just cruising local and/or predictable hills, at the beach, and around campus anyway.

The thickness is pretty good the finger inserts are just too long for my fingers. The fabric drags but my fingers themselves don't, I moved up the plastic on one of my hands anyway so it doesn't rip up the glove though.
And no just the toeside wheels. It was like a hard turn with a little slide on 2 wheels. I just bought the board about a week ago so I'm still wearing them in for sliding. They just started to break grip on sliding like 4 days ago.
I need to pick up a set of semi-decent sliding wheels but am trying to find out which are the best for the money, as mine will work for the time being. (Plus I'm tight on cash and a helmet is probably a higher priority than sliding wheels haha)

$2 leather work gloves, polyethylene cutting board (already had), gorilla glue (already had), industrial strength velcro $9 but I bought a 4 foot x 2 inch roll for future use there is smaller sizes.
Total - $11 + tax

Cut the cutting board into 3 pieces for each hand two smaller ones for fingers and a bigger one for the palm (with a jigsaw, circular saw, or whatever you've got.)
Figure out placement for them, my finger ones are low because I have smaller hands than the glove is fitted for. Put some gorilla glue on the glove where you're going to put the velcro then place it on and clamp it for a few minutes.
Stick the other side of the velcro on the cutting board pieces (don't use glue for the cutting board)
Then duct tape any fingers that tend to drag a little so it doesn't rip the glove and eventually your skin off.

There is other ways of making it too like sticking them on by blow torching the plastic and letting it melt to the glove, or using the free corian counter samples from home depot instead of cutting board (a lot of people say it works well). I used velcro because you can rotate the plastic or replace it easily when it wears down low. There is other methods and instructions online. Lowes doesn't have samples of corian by the way.
Or you could spend $50-$90 to buy legit sliding gloves.

thanks.

personally, i wouldn't buy a carver. they might be good stuff, but they have a strange way of making trucks easier to carve. i prefer to stick to normal reverse kingpin trucks. my favorite are bears. paris and randal are good too, and there are plenty of other brands of good trucks. there are a ridiculous amount of board companies nowadays, most will probably be decent, i like landyacthz and loaded, but there are a ton that are great. for wheels, abec11 and orangatang are good.

check out www.thelongboardstore.com or www.muirskate.com, they both have a bunch of good brands, and pretty good prices, especially muir

My best advise to you would be to not buy the cheapest board you can find. You will get what you pay for. As you can see in my signature I make longboards and we are currently prototyping cheaper entry level beginner boards that should be out by mid summer.

exactly how much is "cheaper"? i could be interested

I have a Dervish,Paris 180s, and Orangatang Durrians...It carves nice, can be taken down some good hills, slides like a dream with the durrians, and is a great trick board. I have also made 3 boards that ride nicely but none as good as the Dervish.

ive been rocking the Loaded Vanguard 4 flex for the last 4 years. Indestructible board. Freakin sweet. bombed every big hill in town with it. Its not very stable at speeds above about 35 mph, but it carves like nobody's business so the instability factor doesnt even matter unless u plan on straight shooting a hill. freakin love longboarding when i cant snowboard, its just a lot sketchier because of idiotic drivers

I have a flexdex clear 29". It's close to the size of a regular deck, but rides like a longer board. The trucks are further out as well. The only thing I don't really like is the tail is flat- no upturn. However, I think the fact that it is clear is pimp.

i love it. i was thinking of getting a dervish too, but i wanted something shorter, i had a pretty long landyacthz drop through, so i wanted something for commuting and sharper turn radius, and i love it. the flex is sweet, i like the kicked up tips, the grip is sticky. it seems super durable. i take really good care of my stuff, but its holding up super well either way. some idiot in a car ran over it, totally fine, no cracks anywhere, even though it bent the axles on my trucks and i had to replace them. so durability isnt an issue, even though i've read some people saying it was for loaded boards. pretty pricey, but i ride it everywhere, it saves me gas, and its a super fun board. the only time i actually end up riding my landyacthtz is when me and my girlfriend go boarding and she takes the tan tien (she likes it better too )

true, i agree, and drives the prices down, which is nice, but for example, there are hundreds of people trying to make their own longboards out there, yet they dont really do that much to set them apart. i'm torn between supporting a smaller company because i know they need the money/word-of-mouth/etc, but want to buy a board from a company who has the facilities and experience to make a great board. and when the smaller companies dont put out something thats too different, i think most people will continue to buy stuff from the larger companies. i guess this is true in economics for just about anything.

I did actually go out and try some slides in the rain, wasn't able to get the full 180(stand-up) but got close a couple times. I don't think riding on wet roads for 1 day is going to kill all the metal. Just sayin

that's probably what sucks most about longboarding. it's actually pretty hard to learn braking mechanisms. snowboarding is cool cause you kinda just have to look up at the mountain and you'll automatically brake. lol. footbraking took me about 5 days of dedication to get smoothly.

i, for one, cannot wait for the snow as well.

well he didnt say what board he had. s9 makes a lot of boards and some that are decent ( notice i didnt say good) for sliding. And dervishes dont have nearly enough concave (in my opinion) for sliding.

Im pretty sure I already stated that dervish's dont slide well, But pretty much all s9s that I have ridden slide just like a dervish, except the dervish has a lil better feel

@Robsta- What trucks are you riding now? Look into paris trucks, with venom bushing combos. Also, the dervish isnt the best for sliding, barely any concave.

@Forrestconley- Agreed minus the sliding

@shock 639-The point of lowering to the board to the ground is usually for stability, but in the dervishes case, it is a carving board with the restrictive feel of dropthru. Also its drop is barely anything if you think about it. ITs pretty much a carving, commuting specific board IMO. ALso in the Otang wheels vid, the DH rider in leathers is riding a Landyachtz Evo with orange InHeats. The dervish isnt wedged or nearly as stiff, and its clearly to flexible to take on speeds like that.

@mikeyp- original isnt my taste, but its all rider preferance. I loved my apex37 when I had it, but I liked it a lot better with Paris trucks than the S8s. The S8s dont lead to spead wobble, but they dont allow you to lean, giving you the option to turn extremely sharp, or go straight unfortunately. If you want a truck thats like teh original trucks. Try out Indy 215s. They are a slolum truck, making them super turny, but you are able to lean with them. They dont have the same springy rebound of the S8 trucks.

Check out youtube video: "Longboarding Orangatang Wheels" and you will see some sick downhill on a Dervish.

I thought the whole point of lowering the deck to the ground was for better stability for downhill.

I ride a top mount because I do no downhill just mainly cruising bike paths. It just seems that because the Dervish became the board for a lot of people to buy, that people think drop thru decks are good for everything.

If you want a good mix for carving bushings, try 90a Barrels on the bottom, and an 87a SHR on the top.... its a good amount of rebound, and feels great! (Top as in away from bushingseat)

mixing bushings... hm i've mixed hardnesses before but never mixed brands. i'm assuming it's the same concept though.

Im about 140 and i ride 90a cones on my carving board. I have a friend who has 83a cones and it just feels like they have no resistance or rebound at all. Im sure you guys all know this but when your mixing and matching make sure to have the harder bushing on the boardside and softer on road side. (relative to the bushing seat.)

so this week, i was riding at night, this girl in a car was talking on her phone, ran a stop sign, nearly hit me, and ended up running over my board, and bending the axles on my 4 year old bear trucks, which i loved. so she bought me some new ones, the new black bear 852s, and they are so sick. i've been on randals, the old bears, i have paris on my landyachtz, and now the new bears on my loaded, and i like the new bears the best. so easy to carve, so sweet looking, perfect finish, i love them. the best 180mm trucks on the market IMO.

i'm a pretty heavy guy though. so it's kinda nice to have such a hard bushing. but i've always wondered what it would feel like to ride on soft bushings. sometimes i wish i could carve a little harder, but i don't really have that many problems.
mixing bushings... hm i've mixed hardnesses before but never mixed brands. i'm assuming it's the same concept though.

btw if you want a good carving truck look at the paris's, the truck design itself is much less restrictive. Same with the stock randalls. even though the design is good, their piece of crap bushings are actually pretty great to carve with haha!

if you want to liven up that set up i would get some venom cones or Shr cones. They will make your khiros feel dead.

I want to do a bit of dh but I still like to carve and cruise around. So basically I want the best all around board for the money which is why I'm not sure if I want to go w/ loaded.. Thanks for the help guys

EDIT: alright, now I have it down to the dervish, heist, and vendetta.

Its very hard to create a board that is good for everything... So my advice to you, is just get a strictly freeride and DH board, and use all your carving and cruising to ur GET longboard. from the ones you mentioned, the vendetta would be the best. The loaded tan tien is still a questionable board. There have been many complaints and I'd just wait until they make a V2 Tan Tien. Loaded dervish is a carver. I hate it for down hill, to much flex, same thing with the hustler. I have no say on the heist, and the dropcarve. But in past experiences, the landyahcts boards just feel extremely dead, and even when they do have flex they dont have the same lively feel as even a stiff DH rayne board such as the hellcat and Killswitch.

If you were going to go for a strictly DH board look at the Rayne selection. Depending on your footsize though, so you would have to post that if you want my help. Boards such as the rayne nemesis and killswitch are great, unless you have small feet. On the rayne nemesis if you have under a size 11 foot, you feel like you are swimming and have to shuffle your feet on the board to get in a good position to slide. The killswitch is 10 inches like the vendetta, which would be a perfect fit for a size 10-10.5 foot or larger. Its agreat deck to slide, and it has the W concave which helps lock your feet in when you have a small tuck. The vendetta is a great board that I have ridden, but I would put it more of a tricking fun board than a DH board.

If you have size 9.5 or under feet. take a look at the rayne Isis, its a great deck! Its pretty much a killswitch but thinner and a different type of W concave.

A couple other boards to look at are the Clutch Lambchop, which is kind of like the nemmy, which you would have to order through Scratch (I think) over silverfishlongboarding.com which can be custom cut to your specifications, and made of the wood you want it to be made out of. So make sure you choose a set that would be best for you!

If you want a topmount speed board, look at the Sea Cow (Manitee) from longboard larry. Its a fun board, and is the one kyle chin uses now, but its not a hype machine like the comet voodoo doll is now. The comet voodoo doll is also a good choice if you like the feeling of rocker. THe voodoo doll is a chopped board, so if you want the equivalent, you would have to go with the Sea Calf (minitee) which is a 37 inch (or 36) inch board from longboard larry, which is an option when you order the manatee.Those are topmount speed boards though. There are many more I can recommend, I just hope this took you to the right direction

Well said...

They pretty much are strictly dh (a little free ride) but not because they dont turn. Its because they are more restrictive (wont want to compress quite as easy as a cone shape bushing) therefore more stable and better for DH. The only thing with eliminators is that you have to use them in CNC'd precision trucks. You cant really use them in cast trucks (ie randal, paris, bear...)with out modifying them to seat on the bushing seat properly. That should help.

Even though the design on the randalls are great, the bushings that it comes with are horrible... They turn like original trucks, and to make it restrictive for more stability, you have to tighten the trucks until the top bushing is litereally squeezed into a oval shape.

I dont mean to be critical on everything so sorry but stability is about 95% rider and 5% equipment. Tighteing your trucks when you are going fast is the wrong idea. Sure it pretty much locks up your trucks and you usually dont get speed wobbles but you can hardly turn which is just asking for trouble. Speed wobbles (usually the cause of instability) happen when your ankles continously overcorrect the slight instability you may have gotten from leaning slightly on your toes or heels. The best thing to do is just relax! Loosen up your ankles and try to not over correct... I do agree with you that Stock randal bushings are crap. Get some venoms and they will liven up.

Thanks for the great advice, will do!

For me,when the trucks are loose and I try to go into a coleman pendy, the back whips around often making very hard for me to bring it back around. I believe that advantage of randalls are that they are lower to the ground than most other cast trucks.

The vanguard is a sweet board IMO, very carving oriented, but i think it would be better to get it with a different truck than randalls. Even though the design on the randalls are great, the bushings that it comes with are horrible... They turn like original trucks, and to make it restrictive for more stability, you have to tighten the trucks until the top bushing is litereally squeezed into a oval shape.

here's a link to a thread about it:

http://wiki.silverfishlongboarding.com/index.php/Bushings_From_Wheels

i got 4 pretty good size bushings out of one wheel. i actually bought a 1.25" hole saw instead of the 1.125 it suggests, and it worked pretty well. i dont know if its worth the effort though.

has anyone tried it with harder wheels? i would be interested to hear how that works...

Ive actually never noticed my apex had concave lol. But I would recommend buying tyler's GET longboards, for two reasons. I believe that his board will be more of a cross between the two boards you were interested in. Second, you dont have to buy it stock with original trucks.

The trucks on the original are carving oriented, so they arent as versatile as the paris or randal trucks you are likely to mount on the dervish. The dervish is also made out of bamboo, and has more rebound off the flex. The apex series (refering to teh apex 37) is formed of a maple mahagony composite. It comes also in two flex levels. If you want two boards that compare, go loaded vangaurd and apex 37.

sorry for the short sentances and everything but this is from a phone so its easier that way.

Ok, First the apex 37 does have mellow concave. Take a look at some pictures. Second it has a decent amount of camber. I do agree with you that original trucks are more carving oriented and arent as versitile as paris... (put double cones in paris 180s or 150s and you will have all the carving ablilty you need even at slow speeds) From a board building perspective i cant say that the bamboo gives more rebound. Bamboo would be nothing without fiberglass. honestly the board wouldnt even stay together with out it. So most of that rebound is coming from the fiberglass. Sorry to be so critical i just want to get the correct information out there. And also get a board building perspective. But dont you agree both of those boards are expencive beginner boards?

Tyler

well, while the concave is mellow, its still much more than dervish, i feel more locked in on my apex than dervishes, you cant really feel the camber, the boards are VERY flexy. almost too flexy for hippies i bottom out sometimes.

And yes tyler, everyone should get your boards cause all those other boards are super spendy for cruisers.
and im going to have to agree on paris>original trucks, im starting to dislike my originals, hard to pump on them compared to paris.

The apex and the dervish are fairly similar boards in that they are both carving cruising oriented. The apex is a top mount (better for carving) where the Dervish is a drop through(still good for carving but slightly less responsive, more stable, easier for pushing). Im not much of an original trucks fan (not good for all around riding) so i wouldnt reccomend the apex unless you are buying non original trucks. Loaded is a great company but i think they are a little pricey for a beginner board.

If you are interseted in a high quality board and a more entry level price check out GET Longboards, our website is: www.getlongboards.weebly.com . If you want to talk to someone who has bought a board contact, chungeroni or keyit here on sierra.

Yes, it is a way to move on your board without having to push at all. I'm currently trying it on my komodo but it takes TONS of practice. A set-up put together just for pumping is what I'll be looking at going into spring next year, I've spent to much money this summer already. I'm currently looking at Longboard Larrys walkabout you can see what a pumping set-up looks like on his site, just click on to walkabout deck. Most pumping set-ups have wedged risers, and a board with lot's of flex. I found all my info at silverfish.com and other longboard websites.

Also check out pavedwave.com a website designated just to ldp(long distance pumping)

True. Im sure it does. But you most deffiently can not feel it whatsoever. I guess im just used to skateboards, and thats why i feel nothing, haha.

It doesnt help at all either, doesnt lock you into slides and stuff. Like the Tantien does.

I believe that the dervish is the only one with a slight concave, and the rest are flat, but Im still not sure. I cannot speak for the tantien or the hammerhead (which in my opinion looks like a pintail with a shitload of wheels) but just in case :D. Most cruising boards or carving boards dont come with nice deep concave. Usually stiffer boards will have it, such as race boards like the killswitch demonseed and the evo. Besides the mini skateboard longboard sliding decks, most thin lightweight boards arent the best for sliding, which applies to almost all of the loaded boards. Fortunately people make freeride boards like the nemesis, switch and vendetta, which have mini pockets which would lock your feet in when going into a slide. Sorry im a rayne nut :D

The camber is similar to how it is on a snowboard, the concave is how the edges turn up on both sides. It forms a mellow U shape with concave.

BTW I cant tell by your picture, but is your deck a dropthru or a topmount?

That was my fault. My friend did say CONCAVE not camber when he was comparing the two.. and of course, I screwed it up lol. And it's a drop through

Otangs InHeat 75mm 81A, Paris trucks, and 6ply Walnut deck

Here it is people, a review on GET Longboards..

Customer Service:
Tyler helped me and talked with me throughout the entire process. He made sure I got exactly what I wanted/needed. Since I'm fairly new to longboarding, he helped me pick out trucks/wheels/bearing etc etc. I'm sure I was annoying as hell at times, but he stuck w/ me and I ended up w/ that beauty ^.

Product Review:
The deck isn't as flexy as a Dervish, but isn't nearly as stiff as a speed board. The concave/camber is absolutely perfect in my opinion, there's not too much, but there's not too little of both. Since I'm still a beginner, I had my more experienced friends try it out. One of my friends said he almost preferred it over his dervish because of the camber/concave. He said he felt a lot more comfortable going faster on it than he did w/ his dervish. Everyone else that has ridden it has said similar things and all of them would also agree that the board handles fine when just cruising around. All in all, an amazing all around deck.

And a BIG THANK YOU to Tyler for making this such an awesome experience. Support GET Longboards, they're legit.

I posted this in the classified section as well, but in case some of you don't look in there, I thought I would post it here as well.

Hey man. Thanks for the vid compliment. I hope everyone enjoys it and that on youtube it spreads. I want people to watch my vids. I love making them.

What board are you rocking?

Speed wobbles really depend on the rider more then the set up he/she is riding. Just stay stable and keep you ankles and lower legs firm. Also try tightening your trucks. This may help for some speed wobble. You can also try switching out the bushings.

Lol the dervish is a horrible DH board, no pockets, no pleasure dome, its super flexible, its extremely turny, and its cambered lol :D

Those can first be why you are getting speed wobbles.

Second off,everyone gets them, but the better rider you are, the less frequently you will get them, and the faster you will be able to handle. Im not sure, but I believe it can be something to do with ankle strength, and balance, the ability to keep your board centered. Try tightening your trucks a little bit though.

2 things

I have learned through past experience, that making your own slide gloves is not a good thing. I have used a couple of pairs, and they lack the support of the Loaded gloves, and other DH gloves/ They also tend not to slip off, especially if you are using gardening gloves, and rip MUCH easier, even though the loaded gloves rip fairly easily to... Another thing, if you dont buy your own pucks, its hard to have a palm puck only, because unless you have a much thicker piece of plastic on the palm. Like most paid gloves.

Second thing

Rossoco, nice vid, lol if you learn to have a tigerclaw kick pickup into those jumps, youll just look that much more badass :D

I'm riding Randall 180's so venoms should match up perfectly. I'm pretty new to longboarding so I'm having a blast with stock bushings. I know how important bushings are and how they can make ride better so I'm going to order the barrel and cone middleweight set from Muirskate.com. It comes with 85, 87, 90, and 93a for $46.95.

those venoms are going to be so much better compared to your stock bushings.

What are you planning on doing? DH Sliding, or just a board to commute with.

I highly reccomend brands such as Loaded Rayne and Original for just cruising

The
Loaded Dervish(185), Loaded Pintail(160 i believe...), Loaded vangaurd(175) are the best cruising boards by loaded

Rayne
Rayne hustler (159), its pretty much a dervish feel, but your feet are a little more locked in. or a Rayne Vendetta (159), which is a lil flex, but very comfortable to ride

Original, the board for mostly carving since the S8s are super responsive.

Apex 37 and Apex 34 Is all reccomend from them, since I think the rest of their boards are garbo.

I can give more info if your into other things,

Also
my second thing I wanted to post is 2 boards that I have for sale

A Rayne Abbatis, which is a special Limited Edition Daddies boardshop special of the Rayne Hellcat for sale for 200 (pics upon request)

and

a Landyachtz Drop Speed with Bears and Zombiehawgs (200)(pics upon request)

Shipping is a maybe since things can get complicated, but meet in person would be great. Lol Didnt knwo where else to put this, if you guys are intersted in a deck :D

You can get some nice options for not that much. Sector 9 is a nice starting brand a fairly cheap but still expensive for a noob. Then there is the new Bamboo S8 Octobomb which will only cost you less then $47 for the deck. And Bamboo skat is coming out with a complete later on which kick ass trucks. Randals if I might say so. They look like a nice cruiser longboards!!!

I've been riding the Retro amber freeride classics they have a very small contact patch compared to my flashbacks because most of the time I'm on flatter land with no need for slalom wheels.

Yeah. Longboarding is fun. You can go way faster on a longboarder then skateboard. You also can carve way more on a longboard and is way better for commuting. Also on a longboard you can do plenty of tricks. Even some skate tricks you can do on a longboard. I love longboard and skateboarding but I like longboarding way more.

common statement. Sure skateboarding is fun and maybe helps a little more with the trick side of snowboarding, but longboarding is about carving (like on a snowboard) and speed and just cruising around with friends. Give longboarding a shot im sure you will like it.

Right now im running some speedy lunitics ($8) which are just as fast as my more expencive bearings.

yea im surely going to buy some paris this summer. really all i wanted from the set was the wheels and they are certainly worth the entire 32 bucks.

im interested in those lunatics, where do you buy them? locally?

Came this last friday.

REVIEW:

This set would seem like it is pretty sucky, but it turns out the entire pack is very nice.

Trucks: Fairly heavy, but not so much that it's a problem. The bushings are okay but pretty stiff. Very strong truck.

Bearings: Some knockoff abec 7's. They're not bad though comparable to redz.

Wheels: I was happily surprise by the wheels. Work like a good wheel should. The 83a slides very smoothly.

Risers: They're just risers.

Hardware: Not good hardware. The bolts are phillip heads and they dont go in easily at all.

In totality, maybe not the BEST set-up. Spending $43 on paris, $48 on otangs, and $18 on some redz, will probably be a better set-up,
but for the $32 shipped price tag on these, it is definately worth it in my opinion. Thought you guys should get the lowdown.

Just got home from vacation, was all over for the last two week. PA, WV, VA, and NH.
Down in VA i got to stay a few days at my friends who was my old snowboarding buddy from when i used to live in PA. We skated and longboarded. Broke out the longboards with my two friends at a skatepark we went to, huge place, tall ramps, it felt like snowboarding, soooo fun. And my friend has pink Randals, they are sick haha.

Came this last friday.

REVIEW:

This set would seem like it is pretty sucky, but it turns out the entire pack is very nice.

Trucks: Fairly heavy, but not so much that it's a problem. The bushings are okay but pretty stiff. Very strong truck.

Bearings: Some knockoff abec 7's. They're not bad though comparable to redz.

Wheels: I was happily surprise by the wheels. Work like a good wheel should. The 83a slides very smoothly.

Risers: They're just risers.

Hardware: Not good hardware. The bolts are phillip heads and they dont go in easily at all.

In totality, maybe not the BEST set-up. Spending $43 on paris, $48 on otangs, and $18 on some redz, will probably be a better set-up,
but for the $32 shipped price tag on these, it is definately worth it in my opinion. Thought you guys should get the lowdown.

I was hitting this nice hill that was fresh pavement. I started at the top and started going down and picked up a ton of speed very fast. I got to the end of the hill and in the middle of the road was sand like a big pile of sand. I hit the sand at like 30 mph and got thrown off my longboard. I got some nice road rash all over. hahah it was an epic fall

yes, i want them nice and slidey-hopefully 83a is a decent step up from 78's. im going to put them on my cruiser and just work on fun winding roads and really experiment with stand up slides, 180's.

and yeah, im fairly certain the trucks are just based off of indy's.

also, im not so sure big hill sliding requires 90a+ duros. mostly people use 86a durians, as stated earlier in thread

hard-core-ness causes this. actually, try shorty's hardware if you havent. its guaranteed against breakage, and it works because it doesnt have threads all the way up to the head of the bolt (thats where the weak points are.)

Yes longboarderdude.. P-tex is a polyolefin. Its also refered to as a UHMWPE. Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene. its a really cheap plastic that has a low van der walls force which makes it very slick to other surfaces. Back in the 90's a company trade named it P-tex and branded it for snowboards and ski's. But its make up is exactly the same as most common plastic cuttingboards. I use to laminate my early longboards with a bottom polyolefin laminate . Its clear to slightly foggy and would allow graphics to show thru. It was light but gave a bit of bouncing strength almost like camber. its not stiff so it allowed me to make boards thinner and lighter. It was also easier to perform boardslides on my shorter boards. The big disadvantage I had is it seamed to delaminate easily.. But you might be more successful if you wanted to try..

Interestingly it is the same product they use for the bottom layer of a snowboard. See Patent application number: 20090324920.

What slide pucks are you baseing this off of. I know they are made out of a lot of different materials. Im pretty sure there arent slide pucks made out of P tex though....

FINALLY my Long Board Larry/Komodo got here a few days ago. It took 5-6 weeks when I thought it would take 2-3. Larry does answer his phone personally and told me what the delay was about, in the end I'm not upset. While every one around here are riding sector 9's, never summers, and loaded, I'm rockin the:

Komodo, Randall 180's, Amber Retro Freeride Classics 81a, it is a flatter board with some light concave, great flex, and a nose and tail for manuals. The board is gorgeous all natural wood no color and signed by the man himself built from scratch in Oregon.

I also bought some ABEC 11 70' Flashbacks 81a because I wanted a downhill wheel as well and I heard alot of great things about them on silverfish.

I've had so much fun on it for the past two days, I've got about 3-4 hours of riding in and I can barely walk now. I was mainly on flat ground practicing carving and starting to crosstep while carving. I'm going to start working on the "look back" next. I went down some small hills and got a little feeling of what it could be like on some bigger ones. I also slid it out on accident a few times, this shizz is so much fun. I'm going to try and get in the parking garage in Mt. Clemens this summer, I will post about that, if it happens. I am going to start working on basics like manuals, dancing, etc.

The bearing is 1/3 of the price though lol....

Well, it feels great to carve, and the board is a great slider...

In my opinion, it is a little more on the extreme side. The sides are turned up like the landyachts Evo, and about the same height in the middle, so its around mediocre, But still It feels great underfeet.

I can post pics upon request if needed....

But then I need to get the board from my friend[/QUOTE]

I wouldnt say the hanger is thicker than randal or any other truck but the recently beefed up the hanger on all their trucks because of bending, I havent heard of too many bent hangers since they stregthened them. Even if they do bend you have a lifetime warrenty on them.

Paris. Better stock bushings, better bushing seat, cleaner cast, lifetime warrenty. I think they feel more carvy than randal and a little less sloppy.

Longboarding is fun but whats more similar to snowboard is called freebord. Look it up the company is free bord. There are bindings on the board and turns like a snowboard. Looks pretty cool but dont get me wrong, I love longboarding!!!

the movement is similar, like leaning heelside and toeside, but the board doesnt slide very much. it helps balance a lot, but your feet being attached to a snowboard makes a big difference. overall, i like the feeling of snowboarding better, but longboarding will def be easier if you snowboard, and vice versa

Longboarding lets you get technical, practice balance, rip, and ride terrain that is not normally accessible on a traditional skateboard. No surf, snow or skate park necessary. See where longboarding can take you.

those ones were 64s i think, not too huge but not small. i got them from john hughes, whos the dude that started UFO wheels back in the 70s or whatever. the guy who "invented" the ollie rode for them back in the day.. pretty crazy. john just showed up here two summers ago and gave me two sets of them and they were sooooooooooo sick. best wheels ive ever had. theyre luge wheels but obviously work great for cruising. its funny, my friend haden has that same type of board, the "notlongboard," both had the same size wheels, and the same bearings, and we got the bearings at the same time... hes also like 40 pounds heavier than me... yet i was always faster even when we started at the same spot and pointed it down a hill. something about the urethane and cores that they have.. they just haul ass.

his company is called "what!" wheels now, but the ones he gave me had the original UFO graphic from back in the day on them.

i got some new ones this year though, satori recycled ones, same size. theyre sick but they do feel a little different. i think i like the UFOs more, but its a small difference, so whatever

ive never owned a longboard and dont plan to.. im not much of a pure cruiser. i mean, i love crusing, its the best, but i have to be able to ollie. its just a necessity for me.. so i ride notlongboards, which are decks with the same kicks and concave as a regular skateboard, but cut in a more oldschool shape, with 8" indy highs and longboard wheels. cruise like a longboard, skate like a skateboard.

anyway, heres a mellow video from last spring, cruising with two buds who were on actual longboards. its mainly just cruising until close to the end where i skate some curbs a little...

I would try and steer around s9 boards... they're not always the best quality. Sure it definatly better than going with a krown or something like that. And the board you posted is more of a pool/ trick deck rather than a longboard.

one thing to keep in mind about doing the custom graphic on the BC decks is the sublimation process. their heat press is 24"/24", so they try to design graphics for their boards into two 24" sections. my finished design had to be rearranged to fit this guideline. instead of one big image spanning the entire 38" of the moray, we had to put a small gap somewhere in the design and make it two separate images.

also the graphics will also turn out lighter on the actual board, so making colors a little darker/brighter when designing is recommended. whites also will not show, so you have to use a light shade of grey as it will come out ligther, if you want to incorporate white in the design.

below is what the finished graphic looked like with and without the gap.

-Freedom Skyline-

the graphic is a shout out to the NYC/NJ area. (im from there). the theme has a double meaning on the representation of freedom. the BK bridge, the Statue of Liberty, are historical monuments that represent the liberties and beliefs America was found on. on 9/11, millions of people had to walk across the BK bridge to get out of lower manhattan. to them that bridge is a reminder of that day and how it led to freedom and safety.

on the flip side, the bird and the skateboard over the fictional skyline represent the feeling of being free when you're out riding and having fun. whether it be snowboarding, skateboards, longboard, motorcyles, etc, every rider knows that feeling i'm referring to.

i'll be doing lotsa of skating around the city area so this design will be right at home. i cant wait to see how it'll look in person. and kudos to anyone who knows where the image in the sun is from.

hey what you guys think, these roads are fairly flat, so those of us who can do tricks, didnt really do any at all, just basic slides....

Lots of new friends in this vid, and we just wanted to see how it looks on an upload. We are doing a MUCH better final later this month, with better slides, dancing, and flat ground tricking!

the point of longboarding is to have fun. you can longboard anywhere, the city, the rural, parks, hills, the ghetto, parking garages, your neighboor/street. dont base longboarding off of where you live, if you think it looks fun and that you would be into it, by all means go buy one!

now i finally understand the point of spacers. i have them in, just never really knew "why" they are used. thanks dood

haha i know i felt the same way! what other tech are we not understanding?

yup thats what they are for. I dont do much sliding but still use them in all my boards. Make sure you get spacers to fit your wheels. they will either be 8mm or 10 mm wide and 8 mm diameter. As for other questions ask away.

i wouldnt say its a new dervish, but yet a different dervish.
from what i hear, the flexes feel totally different.
BC flexes in general are on the stiffer side, but they have more of a snappy characteristic to them, while Loaded is known to be a bouncy trampoline.

Rossco- dude you should get that EEL, so many people are stoked on BC right now its not even funny. order that deck, for the amazing price, pick your wheels and trucks (you already get bones red bearings for free, great bearings) and wait the couple weeks. it will be worth it, and if you dont get a custom graphic it shouldnt take as long. DO IT! or pay $100 more and get vertually the same board, the dervish.

Hey guys. I just remembered that when I bought my Bamboo Sk8 skateboard they gave me this coupon code to pass out. the code is for 2 bucks off any of their decks on there website.
They have skate decks and longbards. The longboards look okay and are pretty cheap. They are also coming out with a new longboard come June with Randal trucks!!! And maybe some eco friendly wheels. Check it out

The code is: CROSS

The Tan Tien I do not know if its any good for bombing hills at all and its a little on the expensive end. And then the Dervish 3 of my friends have so i do not want that haha even tho its the sickest board ever.

What other drop thrus are nice for carving, ticks, sliding, dancing and bombing? I want a nice versatile drop thru.

well, probably the most popular model is the loaded dervish. almost every company has a drop through now in their line up. i have an old land yachtz drop through, and a new loaded tan tien. they both are way sick. the loaded is a lot more springy and flexy, as well as short and good for carving and tricks. the landyachtz is stiffer, longer, and better for bombing stuff, bigger hills. i love drop throughs, i dont really see the point of not getting one.

Ive been trashing mine since the day i got it, 2 years ago, and it is still holding strong and still extremely snappy and responsive. the grip on it gets dirty, but not much more than other boards. The flexibility of it is astounding. Its very good wood used and on the middleweight flex and my 165 lbs on it, it bends more than most boards other medium flex boards; and bottoms out if i jumped on by my 200 lb friends and it still remains new as day one. If you plan on more sliding than carving, you may want to look into different trucks, but the original trucks are wonderful and give a very unique feel. ultimately, its a fairly different feeling board from the dervish, despite the similarity in design, i suggest it. However, if you are more of a trick rider, i suggest tan tien, if your willing to drop 300 bones on it.

My best friend has a tan tien, I myself don't like it is more of a skateboard longboard hybrid than an actual longboard, if you love skateboards then youll love it, if you like the cruising feel better then don't, I would vouch for a Loaded Dervish instead. I got one and it is my favorite board for cruising.

perhaps they are the same.

and really, i dont think it matters because its just going to be my throw-around board.

ill throw up the link in a little bit but right now im changing
out my old stock wheels for some sector9 gumballs, im excited!

Those ebay trucks are almost always knock off crap trucks made in china. alot of times they arent made with aluminum rather some heavier metal

Agreed...learn to carve and you hardly even need to push.

Also look for garages and Colleges are a great place to ride. They have tons of longboarders on them so it is kosher and you get a lot of great grades that are smooth as silk.

I am pretty sure paris trucks now use venom bushings as there stock bushing, I think around 90-92a.

I have the randall 180mm with the red 92a stock bushing. I am still waiting for my LBL Komodo, but I am going to run stock bushings, for now.

For more flatland check out the Retro classic freerides 72mm they have a smaller contact patch(for sliding), use the classic urethane, and are available in 81a,84a,and 78a.

Carve into your turn, put your left, or righthand down, once your board starts going around, about 1/10th of a second later,put your other hand down.... let your hands do the pivoting, and the board will slide almost on its own...

I myself am very much a fan of the originals. they feel really great riding because give you a lot of confidence on your carves and a lot of freedom it feels. and you can change them to feel just like randalls or paris by replacing the spring with a heavier one. just a preference id like to share.

thats a pretty sweet deal for a complete setup with the components you can get on it. especially considering its a complete that cost less than just the tan-tien deck i just bought.

i would put some bones reds on it and upgrade the wheels, and that would be a pretty sick setup

kquan, if you want a pure sliding wheel, get the stimulus, smaller wheels with a smaller contact patch will make sliding easier. but, they wont wear as long, and have a lower top speed. i have durians, mostly just because my shop only had durians, otherwise i would have liked to get stimulus, but whatever. get out a ruler and look at what 5mm really is. its not going to make that much of a difference.

Yea it's pretty much garbage and I think I'm sending it back. I could sand it down and reapply proper grip and replace the bearings, but at that point it's more trouble than it's worth.

It's the quality control that really bugs me. I wouldn't mind so much if I just had to readjust the bearings because they were uniformly too tight or too loose, but the fact that every single one is set differently tells me the company pretty Q.C.

How quickly should grip wear out? The stuff on my Gold Coast seems pretty terrible. Just standing on it bearfoot, the crystals come off my board and stick to my feet. After maybe 20 minutes of cruising around, the area over the front truck where the ball of my foot is placed has been is ground pretty much smooth. This doesn't sound normal to me, but maybe I'm pivoting too much when pushing or something, so I figured I'd ask.

I'm seriously considering just returning this thing... between having to re-calibrate / possibly replace the bearings and possibly having to sand it down to put some proper grip on it, if I am going to start long boarding I almost feel like I'd be better off just building something from scratch.

Played around a bit more last night. When I can get on an incline and get momentum, the act of turning is actually pretty natural. Balance and ankle flexion is a lot like cross under turns on a snowboard, and my feet basically settle the same place as my snowboarding stance. But pushing off is still foreign to me... which is a problem since I need to push off a lot since it's super flat around here and my wheels aren't spinning too freely.

Skated to the library today to study. I learned I have no muscle memory of how to skate when I was a kid. Mind I was terrible as a kid, but I could at least push off and keep my feet over the trucks.

How loose/tight should wheels be? The quality control on my Gold Coast seems pretty terrible. Every single wheel is tightened differently. One of the front wheels is tighten to the point that when I spin it by hand, it can barely make it around one rotation. The other can make it around maybe three or four times before it stops. On the back, one spins for a few seconds and the other spins freely for a good 20+ seconds, but it's also loose to the point I can get probably 2-3 mm of displacement when I wiggle it. I have no idea which of these is "right" of if they're all just wrong.

^LBL boards are known to some of the best in the industry. The boards cost less than Loaded.

$300 is the cost for the total set-up with trucks, wheels, and bearings. Loaded's dancer is more than $200 just for deck.

It depends what you are looking for but his Old school dancer, Komodo, Salamander, and Walkabout, are highly regarded.

He has designed the new holesom which is more like a Loaded board but was constructed with hemp as well.

Sorry I'm not just gonna let you knock Larry with out sticking up for him.

Amber Retro classic freerides and Flashback 81a's( I wanted to try both urethanes)

To hold me over I have been cruising my new re-issue Vision Psycho stick. When I was a kid me and my friends liked Vision a lot more than Powell. I had a Gator but since Gator is in prison for murder I couldn't order that one. When I opened that Psycho stick it was very emotional. I will be ordering another for the wall. I have Indy 169's with rat bones re-issue 60mm 85a but they seem softer, very plush ride. I'm riding around with the biggest grin. I urge every one thinking about a re-issue deck to buy one.

I picked up the Renegade for $40 from Whiskey Militia. Not sure if it actually qualifies as a "long" board at 32", but that's what it's marketed as. From the sounds of it, sounds like at the very least I'd have to take it apart, lube up the bearings, and loosen the trucks, but we'll see.

http://www.goldcoastlongboards.com/categories/completes/the-falling-down-renegade.html

-The Renegade Board
-Dimensions: 32" x 8.6"
-15" Wheel Base
-Premium Bamboo
-Century 5" Trucks
-57mm Wheels
-ABEC 5 Bearings
-Clear Grip Tape

Sounds like it's probably not a great deck, but hopefully it'll suit my basic needs starting out. I figure worst case scenario I can ride around a couple weeks and send it back if I absolutely hate it before the 30 day return period runs out.

The board came in. It was crappy out today and is supposed to rain tonight and tomorrow, but it's supposed to clear up over the weekend. Looking forward to playing around with it. I was kind of dorking around with it in the hallway, I'm thinking I either need to replace the bearings or lube them. Wheels definitely aren't spinning too freely as is.

tigerclaw, the flipped up tips on the tan tien are a lot better for manuals and tricks than the tips on the dervish. also, just being a shorter board makes it better for those types of things too

I really like the sidewinder series by Sector 9 for carving...not for power slides though. You really can get the sensation of floating...almost.

Loaded ceviche or dervish would be good for sliding and carving...dervish more for sliding than the ceviche. The ceviche is going to give you more of a snowboarding type feel.

An effective method is to use the trucks themselves. Once the wheel is off angle the wheel onto the truck so that you are just hooking the bearing and then push down and the bearing will come right out. Similarly to using a lighter to open a beer. Just be delicate because you can ruin your bearings when trying to remove them from wheels if you are not careful.

the overall board of the tantien is a few inches shorter than the dervish, and the nose and tail turn up like you said and they are about a couple inches longer than the dervish nose and tail, and wider i beleive (maybe). panther has one.

there guna be better for manuels and shovits and ollies.

BC Moray is pretty equal to the tantien, thats what im getting

yeah for cheaper trucks, definiately go with randels. you used to be able to get them on evogear for 10 bucks each, but lately theyve been running out. and to brew, you should really check out the different trucks/truck designs. the originalskate spring loaded trucks are super fun and stock wheels with their completes are perfect for sliding. and as far as sliding goes, good sliders are about 35-40 inches and its super nice to have twin tipped boards, they're much more comfortable for what you'll want. and with freeboards, you'll never truly have the same feel as a snowboard, and its somewhat limiting (in my experience), but if you wanna drop the cash, it might be your best bet.

to feel like you're on the snow, look at a freebord. thats the closest thing to snowboarding on pavement. thats a little unpractical if you're in a place without a lot of hills, or if you want to use your longboard for transportation. as far as normal longboards with normal trucks, i like the drop though designs. its mostly preference though.

ok
-id say something about a 40in-44in
-as for truck width, you could go with 150, or 180. 180s are way more fun for carving and turning.
-70-75 mm wheels. if you just want to carve around and not really side, look for about an 80a duro. or higher if you want a slidyer wheel.
-depends on what style you want, you could just mount the trucks a
couple inches off the end of the nose and tail (google some images for ideas)

-as for cheap suggestions, i dont really have any, i personally like randal trucks and orangatang wheels.
-for bearings, get bones reds, cheap and amazing quality and reputation.
hope this helped

hey longboarders, maybe some can help me.

i need some infos, i want to start my longboarding career. But i case of money reasons, it should be as cheap as possible. So my idea was to build my own. If i like it i can buy one afterwards. but for the beginning it should be enought.

so i am 175lbs and 6.1 feet tall. what i mainly want to do is cruising, just as a alternative of a bike.

now my questions:
how long should it be?
how long should the trucks be?
how big should the wheels be?
how long should the distance between the trucks be?

Do you have any suggestions for cheap trucks or wheels?
The deck i want to build be my own, i found a tutorial at toothless.tk.

Thanks and good night :)

i emailed them and they told be about 3-4 weeks for custom, which isnt bad, but i gotta order soon if i wanna have it before i go visit my frineds when schools out.

Tiger- that sound freaking awesome, sounds like a ton of fun to be had.
please post up a ton of pictures during the process of making them. id love to see the process and all.

nope not yet. still discussing the custom deisgn via email with them and waiting on their response. they most likely got slammed with the pre-orders and other requests.

i finished putting the rest of the design together. just waiting on their instructions on how to adjust it so it'll fit into their heat press w/o too many major changes. they have to separate designs into two 24" sections and that's how they fit it onto the moray's layout.

but when i do finally order it, it'll probably be a while until i actually have it in my hands because they still have to fill out all the other pre-orders. also still debating if i should do a top graphic or let it be plain. or maybe put the current design on top and do something else for the bottom. what do you think

I think to start out with I'm going to just try take it apart and lube the bearings (I've read that they components are so-so but need a little finagling right "out of the box"). I'll probably loosen the trucks, since I hear they're often over tightened on completes. Are these easy enough to do on my own with basic tools, or am I better off taking it to a shop?

dude, so i love the tan tien. its so much better than my old land yachtz. i'm about 145 pounds, and the flex 2 is perfect, its so much fun to cruise on, and carving is way easy, and it bounces you back out. if you're going way fast, it is noticeably less stable than a longer board. i havent tried sliding it much though, but it feels pretty easy to maneuver. i need to put my yellow otangs on it and see how it does. tricks, like shuv its and stuff like that are a little harder than i was expecting, but thats mostly me comparing it just regular skate decks. overall, i love it, its super lightweight and fun to ride, and feels way durable too. in the end, its probably overpriced, almost $200 for a piece of wood, but if any longboard was worth that much, this would be one of them.

@furbyyy - check these out. maybe it'll help narrow down your choices. u don't necessarily have to buy this brand, but it'll give you a general idea of the type of boards out there to pick and choose from. if you see a particular board you like, try to find and research other boards similiar to it and compare them. supposedly something like the Eel is a great all arounder.

there's tons bro. several were mentioned in the earlier posts of this thread. but to sum it up if you dont feel like reading all the posts, they were Sector 9, Loaded, Gravity, Earthwing, etc.

a couple of them also make both snowboards and skateboards. for example, Never Summer and Arbor. you're probably already familiar with those brands.

and not to sound like a fanboy, but www.bclongboards.com is fairly a new company and already have a strong following. quality products backed by great people.

picking a board all depends what kinda ride you're looking for since each company has different lineups suited for different types of riding.

you're better off first deciding what type of longboard you want and for what specifically(commuting, cruising, sidewalk surfing, freeride, tricks, etc.), then see if any brands you like carry products that meet your needs.

this here is a great FAQ and forum for people wanting to learn about longboards and how to choose which is best for you.

hope that helps.

what are you thinking for graphic?

i read that you can email them and tell them kinda what you want, and they can do like a graphic sketch for you and show you.

LOL. we have the same idea with the rising sun theme. i think you're idea is pretty rad, taking the different designs from their lineup and mixing and matching them. i really like the way they design their boards with graphics. its simple and subtle but shows off the beauty and elegance of the wood used to make the board. and ya, you can totally email them your ideas and they'll design something for you. you can even ask for a template of the board you want and design something on your own.

what im working on in Photoshop is something along the lines of a rising sun theme with a hint of grungy edginess to it. there's gonna be silhouettes of random objects/people (skateboarders, a city skyline, bonsai tree, abstract shapes,) all blending together somehow with grunge styling. i dunno if it'll actually work out but i guess i'll see when i'm playing with it. at the same time i don't want it to have too much going on where it'll look like a trainwreck. lol.

im currently 170lbs so i will most likely get "the boss" flex since that weight is right in the middle of the spectrum. on the "fat free" scaling, it's already near the very end of the spectrum. i don't want the board to bottom out over time from being flexed and broken in. especially if i end up gaining weight in the future too. so i feel like the "the boss" flex will be better in the long run.

those wheels are called Otang Stimilus, as you can see they are a slide wheel, 70mm 86a. i havnt ridden them but im getting them on my next deck, and i heard great things about them. Orangatang also have a bigger version called the durians, 75mm 86a, depending on what size you want for you style/size board. my friend has those and loves them

just like snowboarding, its all preference. the fundamentals and dynamics are pretty much the same.

and having someone tell you what you "should" get when they don't even know your capabilities as a rider often leads to purchases you're not 100% satisfied with.

since you're already familiar with having some type of board under your feet and know how to pick and choose gear based on your riding style, i'd recommend reading this thread:

http://www.silverfishlongboarding.com/forum/longboarding-resources-q/11015-longboard-buyers-guide-newbie-resource-guide-lt.html

the info in it will help you pick and determine what kind of board is best suited for you. it would be different if you didn't have some type of riding experience to begin with, but since you do, you'll be able to make a knowledgeable purchase for your first board by following the info as a guideline.

use the info to determine what board specs and riding style fits you.

find informative reviews on reputable boards that fit that criteria.

buy the board you feel is best for you using the knowledge you've obtained.

go out and have fun riding.

Okay So I am looking for a longboard that is good for cruising and going down hills. A board that is universal. I am 5'9'' and around 130 pounds if that helps with sizing. The board also has to be Sector Nine since that is all the local shop carries. (yeah bull sh**). And what is the difference between normal grip tape and clear? Is the grip different at all or is it just looks?

no those were the specs for the prototype they made for testing in late 2009.

~~the official 2010 release, the one they will be taking pre-orders for starting today, will have a length of 38" and supposedly a wheelbase of 28".~~

Edit: bc longboards updated their site and put up all the official info on their lineup. the info discussed in the forums about the Morays specs were pretty much accurate with the exception of 1 or 2 things. check it out, it's pretty frikkin sweeeeeeeeet !!!

If you don't mind getting a returned board, geartrade often has decks at pretty good prices. They've got a complete Arbor Bug I was hemming and hawing over for a few days. Gorgeous board, but a little stiff from what I've read.

~~ya, i think thats what they said. the Moray's kicks are slightly longer and wider. it might have been said in forum link added above when i edited my last post.~~

my mistake. they said the tan tien kicks are bigger because the board length is longer and wheelbase shorter than the Moray.

these are the specs i saw on the silverfish forums when they compared the boards.

the Eel is available in two sizes:

42" Eel = 33" w/b
37" Eel = 28" w/b

Moray:
Length: 38"

Wheelbase: 28" (assuming kicks are still 2.5" each) <-- used to be 26" on the prototype.

Tan Tien:
Length: 39"
Wheelbase: 27"

i think they said that the Moray is a stiff board. Stiffer than the tan tien. but i haven't been able to find any detailed info on how its flex compares to the different flexes loaded uses. then again, flex is one of the hardest things to describe since its different for everyone.

dunno if someone already mentioned BC Longboards but im surprised their lineup hasn't been getting much love in this thread.

Their take on a drop through with kicktails is the Moray, which is pretty much the same as the Tan Tien as far as tech, discipline, and quality go. The only major differences are a couple inches in the wheel base and length of the board. Another good thing about the Moray is that the kicktails are reinforced so that'll add some more durability to them.

So if you're in the market for a drop through with kicktails but don't wanna pay an arm and a leg for it, the Moray is a legit board to consider. I think just the deck itself is going to be $100 and complete will be $200, not sure about this though as it was only speculation last i saw.

yeah, i just bought the deck, but it was in the shop with the trucks on it, so i played around with it. i got the flex 2, which has about the same flex pattern as the dervish flex 1, but its shorter, so it doesnt flex as far, if that makes sense. like it requires the same pressure to make it flex, but it would be harder to bottom it out. the kicktails are sick, thats the main thing that convinced me to buy a tan tien instead of a dervish. its noticeably lighter than a dervish too.

i'll talk a little more about it when i ride it this weekend. the price tag is RIDICULOUS though. 200 with tax just for the deck. you could almost get another brand's complete for that much. good thing i had a bunch of cash from selling college textbooks back.

what flex did ya go for? i'm going back and forth between the tan tien and the Moray from BC Longboards. technically the same board but with just slight differences. im leaning towards the Moray because of the shorter wheel base plus its less expensive and you can customize the graphics that gets put on it.

but the thing i'm stoked about on each board are the kicktails. their gona make the boards that much more fun to ride.

I will have a lot of chances to ride all over many different cities here. I work for myself and do a lot of driving. I see so many different neighborhoods where I'll be able to pull over and do some boarding in some sweet areas. That was a great incentive to buy one. I work in a lot of richy richy neighborhoods with nice pavement, decent hills, and drivers that watch out for people in road. It is going to be so cool when I'm having a bad day and I just pull over grab the board change my boots to shoes and go cruise.

Well I jumped on the Loaded bandwagon. But not the Dervish, I just ordered the Vangaurd Flex 2 from Daddies. It looks like a Dervish without the drop-thru mounts. It has mad flex. I hooked it up with Randall 180mm trucks, 76mm Gumballs 81a wheels, IDS ABEC 7 Bearings, and some Venom bushings.

There were so many choices, but this should be a great first board. At 42" it is pretty versatile to carve, slide, pump, dance, or cruise. I know I am going to love and embrace this sport and will end up with more boards but this is a great starting point. I will probably get a LDP like the walkabout from LBL once I learn how to pump but it is to one dimensional for my first deck.

i think the reason you might be hearing stay away from loaded and sector 9 is cause some people view them as the burton of longboarding (some people thinks that bad) i have a loaded dervish and i love it. i ride 75mm orangatang in heat wheels, randall 180s, and bones super swiss bearings. since your a beginner you prob dont want to spend a ton (another reason why some people dont like loaded, they are pricy, but you get what you pay for)

I posted over at the Silverfish forums, but was curious what the folks here would recommend for first time longboarder:

I'm 5' 11", 180 lbs, size 12 feet. The daddiesboardshop.com faq is pointing me towards something around 42", 65-70mm wheels, Randall 180s, BonesReds bearings. I've also heard that a kicktail board is better for abeginner.

As for what I'm doing- I can't see myself bombing any hills at 40mph, or being a super trickster. So something forgiving and general-purpose, the closest thing to a quiver-killer in longboards if that exists.

I'm trying not to get hung up on looks, but man, those Arbor decks look awesome. I've also been recommended KS, and a few from Earthwing. The tone over there seems to be to stay away from Sector 9 and Loaded. The Bustin Boards also look pretty sweet, but I don't know how good they'd be for a beginner.

i think alot of people have spent more money this season than in past seasons, because seirra has been having awesome sales.

I am going to do some more research. Do you have a opinion on the drop thru design that u have against standard mount. the Arbor I was looking at was more basic. I don't know exactly what I need but I'm going to be just cruising but could progress depending on how much time I have. I am learning about the advantages of the drop thru design I just don't know if I need it.

I have a Ques. about longboards:

I was looking at Arbor Cross Step. I have no hills here in South East Michigan. But I do have this trail that is around 10 miles or more all very smooth blacktop. It runs along Metro Parkway all the way to Metro Beach. It is called the Freedom Trail. I currently just ride my bike on it. It would be the perfect spot for a cruiser type longboard?

Do you think the cross step would be a good fit. I am very busy in summer working so I didn't want to go to big.

Also should I just get the deck and build so I can get better wheels like those gumballs? What do you guys think?

I've been longboarding for a few years now, definitely a big fan of Loaded, and definitely a big fan of Otangs.

Bushings really influence how easy your trucks turn with regards to how tight you have your kingpin.
I ride Holey trucks and bushings. I have the Smokes which I believe are 72A or something similarly soft. My kingpin is super tight but I can get wheel-bite on my dervish if I carve too hard. I've heard of people using Holey bushings on other brands of trucks, and getting good success with that setup. The hourglass barrel bushing provides a more lively response than typical cylindrical barrel. I ride Khiros on my other boards, and they're pretty solid. If you're into dancing and carving more than bombing hills (30mph+) I would go with either the orange or the blue. If you do want serious speed, I would go with a higher durometer.

so.. Keep in mind, sliding isnt just about the wheel's duro, I slide my 80a's all day long... I have Lime Zig's. Its also about the width of the wheel, the shape of the lip, the kind of bushings your running on your trucks, truck axle length, board length. Lemon Zig's are my favorite all around wheel, perfect for cruising, awesome for sliding, grip when you need it and slip when you don't.

I also like to stack a hard duro bushing and a soft duro bushing (hard near hanger, soft near axle) for a little better slide initiation.

You're not the first one to re-grip a dervish haha

I would go custom rather than just putting on spray-on. It's makes it more personal/unique. Here are some other people's custom grip tape jobs

basically they go on the axle in between the two bearings on the same wheel, so its inside the wheel when the bearings are in, so that the bearings have less of a chance of breaking or misaligning like when sliding. if there is a space in between the bearings, and you turn the board sideways, like for slide or whatever, sometimes your bearings will blow out because they are just two rings with little balls in the middle. so bearing spacers keep that from happening.

Nothing like an Apex though, Original sell boards based on their truck systems, the carve appeal is what does it, Originals decks are nothing to brag home about. Those guys are riding Paris or Randalls, I think all the loaded guys do, with Otang or 4prez wheels Im guessing.

That might be the only Loaded Id consider getting, but after my kalai

I've got a three Sector 9s: 2 longboard and a mini. I love cruising with them... especially the mini. I like pumping and sliding with it (kind of like surfing.. not sliding with gloves). I also have a Loaded Dervish and Ceviche. I use them both for sliding with gloves. I love the Dervish. They are great for sliding. Ceviche is easier to cruise with because it's smaller, but it can't kill the hill as well as the Dervish. Up to you though, just get a mid length board with fat wheels for a smooth ride. You can bomb anything with it and cruise around like a BAMF.

I have not yet ridden a Kalai, but the style is right up my alley. I know its not a stiff board, because its designed to compete with boards like the dervish (twin tip freestyle dropthrough deck). I think the Kalai is the most beautiful deck in its class and the Gravity's I have ridden have been nothing but great decks

From reading the site it has bamboo and cross ply maple to add torsional flex (plagued my sector 9 surf camp, freakin noodle) and make it a snappier deck, like all quality decks though it comes in a variety of flexes

Its a legit company with a good background, Loaded is like the Burton of longboarding to me, everyone has one and everyone is hyped on them, they are expensive and there is nothing special about them. Sector 9 seems more like Rossignol, or Lamar IMO.

Ive had nothing but good experience with Gravity, they make decks that fill every niche of the market, from freestyle longboarding, to cruising and downhill and their art is incredible.

I have an Original Apex 37 right now which Im in love with, If I could afford more than one setup Id get a Gravity, then a Fullbag w/ Holey's, then a Landyatchz
