Sector nine barong mini longboard review
The sector nine barong mini longboard despite its size is great for cruising around and even for skating down at the local park. The barong has plenty of concave and a kicknose and tail for excellent control. The barong is also made of bamboo which is very stiff and durable, not to mention good for the environment! The barong has a very short wheelbase as well which gives you super sharp turns so you can turn on a dime. the Barong also comes with sector nine non-slip clear griptape.
The Barong comes with Stock san clementes but I suggest Independent trucks for this, since the board is so small longboard trucks aren’t the best option although still a viable one.I would suggest getting sector nine wheels nl]othing too big though or you may get wheelbite (which can throw you off of your board and make you eat poo). This little thing can fly down the street just like any other longboard, however you need the right bearings to do so so i suggest getting bones reds because they’re the best for price, or if you really want to get oging for some extra cash the sector nine ceramics. Check out all the sector nine bamboo longboards.
Sector nine hills longboard review
the Sector nine Hills longboard is great for pushing around town carving up your park but it truly excels in tearing down hills. The sector nine hills is cut in certain way that it is extremely hard to get wheelbite. the Hills is a super stiff 8 ply deck with a super steep concave for excellent response. and just like all of our other premium Sector nines it comes with non-slip grip.
The sector nine hills longboard comes with stock san clemente trucks but I suggest getting sidewinders if you want to carve or bombers or chargers if you want to bomb hills, either are great for transportation. The hills also comes with stock san clemente wheels but i suggest sector nine wheels or if you want to pay the extra for the better, abec 11 gumballs. you can’t get going very far without a decent set of bearings right? well I suggest bones reds because they’re the best for the price or if you really want to go flying down the pavement, Sector nine ceramics.
The Sector nine wedge longboard review
The Sector nine wedge longboard is a great for everyday transportation or thrashing your local park. The sector nine wedge is a very long board and has a very long wheelbase which makes for nice, smooth, buttery turns. The wedge also has 2 layers of fiberglass in it for extra snap, and more durability. The wedge though unlike some of our sector nine’s comes with non-slip clear grip for a classic look.
The Sector Nine wedge comes with san clementes but i recommend getting sidewinders because of their excellent turning or perhaps if you want to try bombing hills with it i would suggest getting bombers or chargers. The wedge also comes with stock san clementes for just a little extra you can get some premium sector nine wheels or for a little extra bang for your buck you can get the abec 11 gumballs. Also to if you want to go flying down the pavement i suggest getting bones reds because they’re the best for the price, or if you want to be the fastest kid on the block, I suggest getting sector nine ceramics
Sector Nine wings longboard review
The Sector nine wings longboard is a great board for getting around town or tearing up the local park I find it to be more of a cruiser though. The wings has a long wheelbase which makes for long smooth turns. The wings also has 2 layers of fiberglass cambered in the center to give it more flex which makes it great for both carving and everyday transpotation. Unlike some of our Sector nines the wings comes with a clear non-slip grip to keep a classic look on both sides.
The wings comes with san clemente trucks but i recommend Sidewinders because of their amazing turning ability. If you really want to get over those bumps and cracks or ensure you make that pocket without slipping out i sugggest getting sector nine wheels or abec 11 gumballs instead of our stock san clementes. Also If you really want to get going through the park or speed to wherever you want to get going i suggest either bones reds which are the best bearings for their price or if you really want to go tearing down the pavement I suggest our quality sector nine ceramics
