Landyachtz Bamboo Totem Longboard
Landyachtz Bamboo Totem Longboard
The bamboo totem has a slightly shallower concave then its maple couterpart, and way more flex. This board is a carvers dream. It has a nice base for footplacement and the flex really allows you to pump in and out of turns nicely. The perfect set-up for this board would be some of the new gullwing stalker trucks in silver, mounted with some sector 9 cosmic bearings and some orangatang in-heat purple 75mm 83a wheels.

arbor Oso mini longboard
The arbor Oso mini longboard is perfect for cruising the street, bowls, carving, ramps, and anything associated with trannys (very funny, it means transitions). The Oso comes with wheel cutouts to help prevent wheelbite and has a super fat tail for extra maneuverability on the transitions, ramps, bowls etc. The Oso also has a pretty small wheelbase making for sharper and more precise turns instead of longer and smoother ones. I recommed the Oso to anyone who needs a good plank of wood with 4 wheels.
The Oso comes with san clemente trucks and wheels but I highly recommend customizing your board with some of our premium trucks and wheels. for trucks I recommend something like independents or cchargers. For wheels I recommend sector 9’s, arbors, orangutangs, whatever you can think of as long as it’s in a 70mm or higher. The Oso also comes with abec 5’s but I highly suggest buying the reds, you won’t regret it.
Arbor mindstate longboard review
The Arbor mindstate longboard is perfect for cruising the streets or tearing up the park this board is another great carver put out by arbor. The arbor mindstate has a relatively short wheelbase making it perfect for tight and precise turning.

I recommend the arbor mindstate to anyone looking for an excellent cruiser or a tight carver.
The arbor mindstate comes with san clemente wheels but I suggest customizing your board with some of our more efficient products. For trucks on this I recommend sidewinders they have the most response of any truck we have and that’s just what this board needs. For wheels I recommend getting sector 9’s or arbors anything in a 70mm or over will do. The mindstate also comes with abec 5’s but I recommend paying the extra 10$ for reds, they last 10 times longer and the’y'll get you 10 times farther.

sector 9 luke longboard.
The sector 9 luke longboard is great for cruising…and boardpooling, in fact I’m not entirely sure just one person can push it. The luke has an extremely long wheelbase, this is like, the semi of skateboards just with 4 wheels instead of 18 wheels. The luke also has a slight kicktail, for comfort, this board is truly too big to be trying to kickturn with it, however if you do street tricks effectively with this board BY ALL MEANS please send a video. I recommend the luke to anyone looking for the most amazing cruiser ever.
