Brand new that board is like 75 bucks. Save you're money and get something a bit nicer.

I'm looking to get into longboarding and $90 is the most i'll spend (initially), just in case I find this isn't for me. I've done a bit of research and determined that as I want to do lots of cruising and freeride, a drop through board will probably best suit my needs. Is this the best I can do for my budget? Should I buy used? If so where?

Mine is this one. Nothing special, just a beginners board. Can't speak on what boards the other guys use though. I'm too new to know brands or stuff like that.

I'm interested in buying a longboard for commuting between classes. I'm a complete beginner at skating.

I've read through the beginner's buying guide and I have picked some parts, but I'm not sure if I want to spend 220 dollars on it if I'm just going to be using it to get from point A to point B. I've also found some longboards on Amazon which are cheaper and highly rated.

Would the Atom be good enough or is there a reason that those boards on Amazon aren't mentioned in the beginner's guide?

I've got an Atom Drop Through with some Bones reds on it, how can I minimize downhill speed wobble while retaining its very good turning radius? People have mentioned harder bushings but I'm concerned about losing that turn radius.

So I have had this [Atom Drop-through board] (http://smile.amazon.com/Atom-Longboards-91047-Drop-Through-Longboard/dp/B0056IY39K/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1450151770&sr=8-2&keywords=atom+drop+through+longboard) for a while now, but I just recently learned to ride. And let me say, I am enjoying it, really getting into the whole thing. I want to upgrade it, but to be completely honest I do not know anything about what it came with or what even needs upgrading. For now lets say my budget is $50 Maximum. Everything I have on it is stock (wheels, bearings, trucks, etc). What is the best thing to upgrade for my money?

If it matters, I don't do any extreme sliding on it, I just enjoy speeding up and down on the hills in our area. Anything to increase speed honestly.

Also, where is the best (online) place/brand to buy A helmet? I know I need one. Also knee/elbow pads and gloves?


All help is appreciated!

Edit: And if I were to get a new board, what is the best for $200? I just want one to go fast up and down big hills. I also would like one a little shorter than the giant 41 inch. Maybe something that would be easy to learn to slide on???

So I've never longboarded before. My friend let me try it this past week and I have to say, it's more fun the riding my bike. However, I know absolutely nothing about buying a longboard. I just went on amazon to see what kind of longboards there were. I saw a few that looked ok and were relatively cheap

Could anyone tell me if these are any good or if I should be looking somewhere else to buy a longboard?

u/InsaneBeagle · 1 pointr/longboarding

I've got a fairly cheap board off Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0056IY39K/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_eylSub1GC2VV3

So you think i should just get those wheels?

u/TheForkOfYork · 1 pointr/longboarding

Is anyone able to help me with getting a new deck?

I know Zumiez is frowned upon here but I'm going to the mall in a bit and I'm looking for a new deck to use for cruising and downhill/sliding and I found this one:

http://www.zumiez.com/arbor-axis-bamboo-40-drop-through-longboard-deck-740507.html

The deck I'm currently riding is an atom drop throughAtom drop through with Caliber II trucks and Sector 9 butterballs that I'm planning to put on whatever new deck I end up getting.

I also saw that the Arbor Axis' width is only 8" and I've heard that 8" width isn't the best for downhill/sliding so the other board I was looking at was this one but I've seen santa cruz gets some hate here so I'm just checking to see that I'm not buying a shitty deck.

thanks

u/DankerThanYou · 1 pointr/longboarding

Which board out of these two are better for a first board? I'll be mainly using these for cruising

u/bphamftr · 1 pointr/longboarding

Is this board good to begin with? Just going to be cruising for awhile and then may start downhill. I weight 180lbs if it makes a difference.

I went on Amazon and got this one (just sorted by 'most popular' because I know nothing about boards):

It's cheap and I don't have a single complaint! Really smooth ride.
