Teacher: Jonah cap off and balls on the ground... Jonah what are you doing?
Jonah: You said to put my balls on the ground miss...
its all up to you. what kind of skating are you going to be doing? whats your terrain like?
get the bertlemen, but i personally like the old graphic. make sure you order them with the bennetts.
The gravity will have much better trucks, Same quality deck (suposedly they get their wood from the same place), and not as good wheels. I think Sector Nine has better wheels, but crappy as hell trucks.
get the LB 33 order it off milehighskates get it with bennetts and tunnel rocks 75a....free shipping too. I just posted mine under the Stencillllllzzzz thread

its really hard to compair boards and parts if we dont know what kind of skating your doing.
doesnt matter.
gravity > sector 9
any day, any time
cruising, commuting, carving, stylish turns(I swear I'm not gay.)
maybe even slides depending on wheel softness, but I want them soft enough for a smooth ride. I skate on sidewalks and generally smooth terrain.
gravity bro. trucks and wheels make a hell of a difference but if you want a good board get the gravity. what truck/wheel combo comes stock?
check out GF hurley ( gfhurley.com ) they have some badass boards. screw sector nine and gravity and go for the real boards.Originally Posted by burkov
also check out silverfishlongboarding.com.
that gf hurley crosscountry is pretty sick, pick up that deck get some randel 180's and some gumballs and your set man.
GFH real boards? name a GFH board that beats a gravity? GFH's best/most liked board is the mini pigme, which gravity's BW24 kills.

beats? its all up to preference. sector nine and gravity are beginner boards. they are off the shelf, get a real board.
I'm talking pure decks. I dont buy completes, I build up my own setups. I agree that skateboards are all preference, but I don’t see how a gravity is for beginners. Are you talking price, or composite vs maple? GHF doesn’t have anything original and they make their trucks in china. Skateboards should be all American.

im with auto on this one, i was gonna buy the gfh recluse but chose the gravity dt37 based on quality craftsmanship, company history, etc.
i mean think about it, ask anyone here their opinion on skims and theyll all tell you exile/vic whatever and not wavezone zap. the same thing exists in skating. and i definatey see s9 as a mass producing company more focus on $$$ than a quality product
you may want to work on your reading comprehension. i never said that gf hurleys trucks were good. and if you would have read this a little closer you could infer that i build my own setups as well.
as for myself i have a nice quiver built up and my favorite cruising deck is my GS fiberflex 43'' funshape with randel 180's and gumballs. thing is a beast.
any deck longer than 36" ishhh with randals and gummys is going to be sick!
(exluding DH)
GFH>gravity>s9
i'd deff jump on some bennetts for a pool board but they are just waaaaaaay to expensive.
i just bought a sector 9 today and spent $130 on a board because i want something to learn on.

I've been longboarding for years and I just wanted to pick up a mini to cruise around on. I'm gonna go with a sector nine stock not for the quality or the ride, but because I know I can beat it up, ride it every day and not worry about losing it or whatever. I don't have much experience on minis so if i like it I'll upgrade and get into some serious stuff. Thanks for the thread and I'm happy to talk skating with any you. Also, bennets are amazing and I was psyched when I heard they were coming back. those tunnel rocks look awesome but I really wanna try some of those zig zags. (awesome)
Oh, and i'll upgrade to black griptape(the clear crap that sector nine sells is horrible.) and 65mm for a better ride. I really do like sector nines wheels, never had any complaints with them.
oh man i complety forgot. check out z flex. i have the j adams cruiser and its badass.
ive got some tracker trucks and tunnel rocks 90a on it. i have beat the shit out of it in pools and bowls and its still in one peice after like 2 years.
I think Jeff or SkimminOB has that Z-Flex

i have the z-flex jimmy plumer and its held up good even though with INSANE skating.
and i think the best yet wheels are kryptonics 78a really smooth and grippy and if your into slidding and doing hard cutbacks and such i think they are the perfect wheels for it
dont support s9 there now a big company looking for dough
SUPPORT CARVEBOARD N LOADED!!!
the anti [COLOR="Sienna"]Sandy Brown Lemmings[/COLOR], [COLOR="Magenta"]Pink Mongooses[/COLOR]and the [COLOR="Purple"]Purple Snake[/COLOR] people.
i saw a sick jay adams crusier at my local shop. white with rainbow graphics. i almost bought it on the spot, those are definately a good choice for a mini deck too.
has anyone invested in a freeboard?

dont bother. they send me 4 emails day all they do is spam about their give-a-ways
gonna go out on a limb here, but I'm pretty sure when they were a small company they were also looking for dough. When a company stops looking for dough, they usually go out of business. Keep your communist garbage to yourself, kthx.
