Longboards
Longboards from all the top brands like sector 9, arbor, loaded, landyachtz, gravity and more!
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’re a beginner you might just want something simple with a cheaper price with no need for the best components so make sure you get exactly that. 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.
Insane Asylum maniac longboard
The Insane asylum maniac longboard is great for downhill, carving, and cruising. The insane asylum longboard has awesome nose cutaways to make wheelbite virtually impossible (unless it hits your foot). The insane asylum is pretty wide for great stability, and smooth turning. I recommend the maniac to anyone who loves extreme downhill speeds or smooth carving.
The maniac comes with our stock san clementes but for just a few dollars more you can get a really sick setup. If you’re doing downhill I recommend bombers or chargers but if you’re carving I recommend sector nine sidewinders. For wheels for both downhill and carving I recommend sector nines or orangutang wheels. No good longboard has cruddy bearings, I recommend the bones reds or if you really want to blow some minds the sector nine ceramics.
Insane asylum ill figure longboard review
The Insane asylum ill figure longboard is great for cruising around and bombing hills, however if you’re looking to carve I would suggest looking for something else. Insane asylum is actually pretty new to the skateboarding industry but if you’re looking to do downhill look no further. Insane asylums boards are super wide and long with a flush drop mount for increased control at high speeds. The insane asylum boards are also cut so you don’t get wheelbite if you accidently turn too far.
The insane asylum boards come with San Clemente trucks, wheels, and abec 5 bearings. If you get this however bad trucks and wheels are not something you want if you’re going 45 miles an hour because chances are your wheels and or trucks are going to snap. For the insane asylums I recommend gullwing bombers, or chargers since they provide excellent stability at high speeds. For wheels I recommend orangutangs or any sector nine wheel, I don’t think insane asylum has come out with custom wheels yet but if they have check them out because they’re all about downhill. Just like bad trucks and wheels going downhill, you don’t want bad bearings that are going to freeze or burn up. I’ve never had bearings lock on me, but I have had explode out of their cases before and it’s not fun TRUST ME, I recommend reds or if you really want to get into to it I recommend sector nine ceramics.
Arbor longboards: Mini Series
Arbor longboards come in various sizes and the smallest arbor longboards are known as the Mini series. These boards range from 26 inches to 32 inches in length and 7.25 inches to 9.00 inches in width. Because of the smaller board length these arbor longboards are stiff and lighter. With typical longboard trucks and wheels, the Mini Arbor longboard series can still supply an enjoyable ride with the ability to perform tricks and serious carving.
Arbor Mini series include the Pocket Rocket (available with koa or bamboo deck) and the GB Sizzler (koa deck). The Pocket Rockets are the smallest boards available from Arbor longboards while the GB Sizzler is slightly bigger, but still a Mini. The Pocket Rockets are simply “compact mini cruisers designed to be light and stashable, with quick, thread-the-needle performance.” The Arbor Mini series are particularly useful for transportation because it rides like a cruiser and can be carried or stored easily. These boards are durable and long-lasting because they come with either koa or bamboo deck supported by 7-plys of hardrock maple. Arbor Longboards in the mini series are made for easy transportation and cruising, but there are no limits to how the boards are used because they can do it all.
