say you had to pick out of a loaded dervish,landyachts switch,comet vodooand a original apex37 what would you pick its for bombing big hills and going fast but also for sliding and carving
post away


switch
hands down, apex 37 is only good for anything below 30km really as they are built to carve off all that speed, loadeds are nice for dancing and that area and can be free ride decks and taken up to around 50km safely. The comet can do therse things but i dont like comets in the end i would take a switch as the are great for sliding and carving and can do some nice bombs on them to.

i just saw the hornet made
i just saw the hornet made by bombardier that looked prity mean whats the low down on them i quite like the pintail
the low down.
there sick as boards, built like a tank and a really nice ride, i recomend the b2 or vulcan or hornet! Billys new concave is nice as
yeeeah hard
they are truly indestructible they can downhill and freeride and the b2 is small so its pretty light and best of all the are impossibly cheap and if they arnt your cup of tea i would look at other local board builders like wahkoowah or sugar boards
longboarding,push,tuck,finish badabing badaboom
the b2
also comes in an extended option, which i would prefer.
yea i checked them out as
yea i checked them out as soon as i get sum coin im guna order a b2 extended or the hornet

what do you ride
that would be mean.
but i reckon a b2 or vulcan would be better because once you get better and better they will handle pretty much everything
yea i was thinking that what
yea i was thinking that what do you think the hornet would be like at sliding iv got myself hooked on pintails haha its a toss up between the b2 extended and the hornet as you would have sused
what board do you ride
i havnt ridden the hornet..
but i have a b2 and i have ridden the new one and the concave is nice as so it be allgoods for sliding. i reckon the b2 extended aye
aw yea i thin im guna take
aw yea i thin im guna take your advise i have only just got into slides and the best i can do so far is just a shu tdown slide but right round and roll out of it
Vulcan
I bought the Vulcan with Inheat Otang purps and it is my first board.
Very very nice, really sturdy, great for carving on and sliding, handles really well at speeds up to around 40km/h. I haven't been over that speed so wouldn't know after that, but yeah really really nice board.
Billy is a great friendly guy and he'l help you out with deciding too.
@Thunder_Hog
if your ever in auckland hit me up for a skate, really keen to give the vulcan a go
@sam_i_am
Yeah sure will dude, might be up there in the holidays but not so sure at this stage.
what do u
what do u think about this idea? hornet shape shorted to 900mm and stiff not flexy.
good idea? crap?
sounds good.
how tall are you ? 900mm can sometimes be to small
