Some good deals here if you sign up for the site.

Also I hear great things about penny boards but they cost a nickle.

searchbar and you'll find everyone recommends: Loaded, Landyachts, Bustin. Or if your going for the cheaper zumiez kind there is always sector 9

Get a skateboard. Bombing is funner that way. Speed wobbles the whole way down!

Its also hella bumpy and you get thrown of the board when you hit pine cones, or small pebbles. The sketchyness adds to the fun factor for sure.

haha.. Really though, why would you spend so much more on a longboard alone when you could get that penny for a fraction and have so much more portability and style!

Landyachtz, Hands Down. I have a drop speed (previous year) and it kills @ everything.

They have a whole variety tho, from do everything boards, fun cruisers, to the sickest downhill board (R5)

Get a Rayne or Landyatchz if you're serious about wanting to bomb hills & not die. Get a loaded if you want something cruizy & can do tricks with. Stay away from Sector9 they suck on hills, and are for posers in general.

i have a loaded tan tien but i got it too flexy for intense shredding. still so much fun for flying through neighborhoods and dicking around. my sector 9 puerto rico is a dope little board for commuting and smaller hills if you know how to carve to control speed, handle drifting around turns, and can ride out wobbles. i still love it you just can't go that fast.

get something that's pretty stiff and low to the ground for a first one

until it hits a curb...

I've been riding a 2012 Wolfshark (Landyachtz), and it's a sick DH/Freeride topmount. I'm guessing you want a cruiser. ARBOR ARBOR ARBOR ARBOR ARBOR ARBOR ARBOR ARBOR ARBOR ARBOR ARBOR ARBOR ARBOR ARBOR ARBOR ARBOR ARBOR ARBOR ARBOR ARBOR. A shorter pintail or the axis. Dopeass boards and the owner is chill as fuck.

original apex 40 with noseguards. The thing is bombproof and the noseguards will make it last so long. A little expensive but you wont regret it.

I had an apex 40, then I sold it because I hated it so much. I got it for freeride/freestyle and the nose/tail were next to useless. The concave was also uncomfortable and it didn't feel strong at all. Ridiculously overpriced too

Landyachtz, Landyachtz, Landyachtz, Landyachtz, Landyachtz, Landyachtz, Landyachtz, Landyachtz, Landyachtz, Landyachtz, Landyachtz, Landyachtz,.

Yea that sums it up. :) I currently have a drop speed and its amazing. I will probably pick up another for straight bombin, probably the R5.

the axis is a great cruiser and carver but the low amount of concave makes it a bit sketch to slide with. I have a axis and its great to go around town with and carve on the hills with.

love my loaded pintail, but check ebay/craigslist. Shit is actually cheap right now, and loaded boards cost about a million new.
