Essential Skateboard Accessories
In order to maximize your skateboarding experience, you’ll need to pick up a couple of skateboard accessories. One indispensable tool is a universal truck tool. This specially designed implement can do everything from tighten your trucks to replace your wheels, plus it’s compact and lightweight.
Another accessory you want to be sure to have at all times is some curb wax. This can be applied to curbs, rails and other surfaces to back grinds and boardslides smoother. There are literally hundreds of other products you can pick up, of course, but these two are essential.
Sector 9 Mo’sake longboard review
The Mo’sake sector 9 longboards is an amazing board for getting around town, bombing hills, and slalom because if it’s taco mold. The Mo’sake is also great for the parks for those who like to tear up the parks but with the correct wheels the Mo’sake can take on just about any environment, except complete off-road. I recommend the Mo’sake to anyone looking for a great all around board that can adapt to almost any type of riding you want to do.
The Mo’sake comes with san clemente trucks and wheels as well as some abec 5 bearings. For trucks, if you’re going to do downhill I recommend bombers or chargers, but if you plan on carving and cruising, go for the gullwing sidewinders. For wheels I recommend getting orangutangs, gumballs, sector 9’s, arbors, any wheel will do just fine but the best wheels out right now are the orangutangs and gumballs. As far as bearings go, Reds are still the best for the price, but if you want a truly superior bearing get some sector 9 ceramics.
Side wider series - Sand Wedge

Sector 9 has just recently updated their entire line of longboards. Some of the newest additions are the carbonite longboard which was made to perform. It is light weight and utilizes the drop through mount for a lower center of gravity. It is 41″ long and 9.25″ wide a great board for any style riding. Another new addition is the Bullet which is made for speed and downhill riding. It has an extra ply of maple for stiffness and stability. 2 other boards in their line up are the bamboo ghost tree which is a completely new shape you got to check out as well as the cosmic series deserts longboard.
Make sure to get your longboard set up the way you want it and that will best fit your needs. Every one is so different when it comes to what they want these days.

If you are advanced you might want to up your game and aren’t looking for stock components anymore as you want to pass your friends, go faster, slide farther, and carve harder.

english story (skateboard related)
There was once a narwhal (we’ll call him “Narwhalius Maximus”) who possessed a skateboard and with that skateboard, did many great things. One day Narwhalius was skating to the marina trench contest when a dolphin (we’ll call him “Dolphinius Maximus”), who came nowhere close to Narwhalius’s absurd skill and finesse at skateboarding and Narwhalius had found him in a rage after falling and scraping his tail fin. Narwhalius was curious as to what had happened and dolphinius had told him that he was trying to 720 finflip to yacht grind to triple salchow dorsal flip out, Narwhalius sat there and snickered at Dolphinius, he couldn’t even 720 finflip to triple salchow dorsal flip out! Narwhalius had skated through the water faster than squid-o-romicus the marina trench legend, and done the 720 finflip to yacht grind to triple salchow dorsal flip out and told dolphinius how easy it was and swam off to his private submarine trailer to slumber. Dolphinius had decided if he were to win the contest that he must land this trick, Dolphinius tried the trick even until after his fins bled (this is my experience, all credit to “Chunk” Dourte) and eventually got the trick down to where it even out-finessed Narwhalius. When the contest started the next day the lazy Narwhalius had decided he could take the easy way out and win the conest with a simple finflip but was soon defeated by Dolphinius’s perfect 720 finflip to yacht grind to triple salchow dorsal flip out. Dolphinius had won the trench trophy and had won free chum for life, and everyone lived happily ever after, except Narwhalius of course, the only flipping he would do again, was burgers.
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.
The sector 9 luke comes with san clemente trucks and wheels but I highly recommend customizing your baord with some of our quality products. For trucks I recommend bombers, charger, or sidewinders. For wheels I recommend anything in a 75mm+ the bigger the wheels for this…the better. the luke also comes with abec 5’s but I suggest getting some reds or sector 9 ceramics.

Sector 9 Greenroom Longboard
The sector 9 cosmic series wouldn’t be complete without the top and bottom graphic styled longboard. This year the sector 9 greenroom takes the cake with the choice for that graphic. The graphic is an amazing shot from inside a wave barrel. The sector 9 greenroom is made from maple and fiberglass which are sandwiched together to create a nice smooth flex that creates smooth flowing turns just like you’re riding a glassy little wave. The shorter wheelbase on the greenroom makes for great manuverability.
The sector 9 greenroom longboard can be set up with a variety of trucks, some of the best choices for the greenroom are gullwing missions, gullwing chargers 9″, randal 150mm, and paris 150mm. A nice sized wheel from 64mm to 65mm in size is the perfect fit for this board. Sector 9 has also recently made available so high grade bearings, the ones I would put on the sector 9 greenroom would have to be the new sector 9 cosmic bearings as they were designed with for this board!
Insane asylum psycho longboard review
The Insane asylum psycho longboard is great for carving, downhill, and cruising. The insane asylum psycho is cut in such a way that it’s hard to get wheel bite (considering you have the correct sized trucks). It’s smaller in width then most of the insane asylums, which makes it so you can get pretty technical when carving. I recommend the psycho to anyone who’s beginning or even an advanced carver, but I think insane asylum has much better downhill boards.
The insane asylum psycho comes with san clemente trucks and wheels but for a couple bucks more you can something that’s a lot better. If you plan to carve I recommend sidewinders, but if you plan to do downhill, bombers or chargers. For wheels I recommend any secotr nines, abec 11, or orangutangs. No good longboard is any good without good bearings too right? I recommend the bones reds, or the sector nine ceramics.
