I really like my apex 37, i have bear trucks i think, and orangatan wheels. The dervish from loaded is nice too. I sold mine, i preffer the apex. Depend what you are looking to do. Sorry for my grammar.

What do you do? freeride? cruise? DH? Land tricks? The landyachtz switchblade is very very nice for freeride/dh and the evo is the best for dedicated dh. Wedge flex and chief for cruising, and the Longboard larry dk penguin is good for land tricks. But for these questions, go to Silverfishlongboarding.com it's like NS but for longboarding

i love my loaded dervish. i have paris 180's and otang in heats. its a really nice board if you like cruising and some freeride stuff. if you like to go faster i would go with a stiffer board but i have the flex 2 and im about 160 so it might just be that.

So far I've had the Rayne nemesis and the avenger. both super good boards. nemesis is way sick, super fun freeride board love sliding around on it. Picked up an evo yesterday hoping to get into some downhill racing come spring time.

there isn't one....

it completely depends, i've heard people bitch about sector 9 while i've ridden a ton of boards this summer and my bamboo sector9 pintail is by far one of the funnest and best allround boards i tested...

only brand i haven't heard bad things about would probably be loaded, but you're gonna pay a price for it ....

i suggest you to test out some boards or at least stand on them and feel the flex, then take the one that feels the best for you....

also consider size, if you want a board to cruise around campus and take to classes and stuff, i wouldn't go to big ....

if you have skate experience and want a board with a tip or tail to manual or do tricks, look into a board that has one...
