Sector 9 carbon TR3 longboard review
The sector 9 carbon TR3 longboard is great for downhill, carving, and cruising! The TR3 is super durable due to it’s being made of fiberglass and a super strong maple. The tr3 also has good concave and flex for excellent carving and total control of your board. I recommend the TR3 to any new or advanced boarder.
The TR3 comes with our stock wheels, trucks, and bearings. I recommend paying just a little extra for the better gear. If you’re going to get new trucks for this board I recommend getting gullwing chargers or bombers for downhill or if you’re looking to carve and cruise I would recommend gullwing sidewinders. If you’re going to get new Wheels I recommend getting anything in a 70+mm (sector 9′s, orangutangs, abec 11 gumballs, etc.). If you’re looking to buy bearings I recommend reds or if you want to pay a little extra, the sector 9 ceramics which are definitely worth the price.
The sector nine wings longboard review
The sector nine wings longboard is a great board for downhill, carving, and cruising. The sector nine wings has a super long wheel base for nice smooth turning and great control at high speeds. The wings as big as it is, is actually good for carving in and out of tight places because of it’s slight flex and the wheelbase. I recommend the wings to any beginner or advanced carver.
The wings comes with our stock wheels, trucks, and bearings. Irecommend paying just a little extra for the better gear. If you’re going to get new trucks for this board I recommend getting gullwing chargers or bombers for downhill or if you’re looking to carve and cruise I would recommend gullwing sidewinders. If you’re going to get new Wheels I recommend getting anything in a 70+mm (sector 9′s, orangutangs, abec 11 gumballs, etc.). If you’re looking to buy bearings I recommend reds or if you want to pay a little extra, the sector 9 ceramics which are definately worth the price.
Sector 9 sand wedge longboard review
The sector nine sand wedge longboard is a great board for carving and cruising. The sand wedge has a slight kicktail and loads of concave for the ultimate control when carving. The sand wedge also has a flush mount truck which gives you a lower center of gravity which makes you go super fast for almost self propelled carving. I recommend the sand wedge to anyone, that’s how good it is.
The sand wedge comes with stock san clemente trucks, wheels, and bearings. I highly recommend getting the gullwing sidewinders for trucks, if you get this board you must get these trucks. If you’re going to get wheels I recommend a 70+ mm (sector 9′s, abec11 gumballs, orangutangs, etc.). If you’re going to get new bearings i recommend reds or sector nine ceramics.
Sector 9 hills longboard review
The Sector nine hills longboard is a great downhill board but i wouldn’t recommend it much else, except cruising. The hills also comes with wheels cutouts to help reduce wheelbite (which you don’t want at high speeds). The hills also has really good concave which gives you total control over the board. I recommend the hills to any beginning or expert downhiller.
It’s recommended that you get the sector 9 hills with sector 9 wheels (70mm) and some gullwing bombers for bombing hills. If you want to do slides down hills then i suggest the same trucks but a harder durometer wheel around a 80 to 90a (the durometer of the wheel determines the hardness of the wheel the higher the number the harder and the lower the number the softer). as for bearings I suggest reds or some sector 9 ceramics.
setor 9 kommi longboard review
The sector 9 kommi longboard is a great downhill board though I don’t recommend it for carving and it may be a little big for a cruiser but none-the-less it can be used for a cruiser as well. The kommi comes with a flush mount truck for a lower center of gravity giving you more speed and more stability. The kommi also has a really long wheelbase for added stability at high speeds. The kommi also comes cut in a way that virtually eliminate wheelbite (which trust me, you want if you’re going 50 miles an hour).
It’s recommended that you get the sector 9 kommi with sector 9 wheels (70mm) and some gullwing bombers for bombing hills. .If you want to do slides down hills then i suggest the same trucks but a harder durometer wheel around a 80 to 90a (the durometer of the wheel determines the hardness of the wheel the higher the number the harder and the lower the number the softer). as for bearings I suggest reds or some sector 9 ceramics
sector 9 off the wall 2 longboard review
The sector 9 off the wall 2 is an excellent board for carving and cruising but I definitely don’t recommend it for downhill. The off the wall 2 comes with a flush mount truck for a lower center of gravity which in turn gives you more speed to fly through those pockets at the park or fly over those small boulders in the streets. I recommend the off the wall 2 to any carver or cruiser, beginner or advanced.
The off the wall 2 comes with stock san clemente trucks, wheels, and bearings. I highly recommend getting the gullwing sidewinders for trucks, if you get this board you must get these trucks. If you’re going to get wheels I recommend a 70+ mm (sector 9′s, abec11 gumballs, orangutangs, etc.). If you’re going to get new bearings i recommend reds or sector nine ceramics.
sector 9 joel tudor longboard review
The sector 9 joel tudor longboard is a great all around board, Though I find it to be more of a carver. The joel tudor has a long wheelbase for long smooth turns which makes for GREAT carving. The joel tudor also has a slight kicktail and great concave for the ultimate control over your board. I recommend the joel tudor to any beginner, or expert for carving or cruising.
The joel tudor comes with our stock wheels, trucks, and bearings. I recommend paying just a bit extra for the better trucks, wheels, bearings, etc. f you’re looking to carve and cruise I would recommend gullwing sidewinders. If you’re going to get new Wheels I recommend getting anything in a 70+mm (sector 9′s, orangutangs, abec 11 gumballs, etc.). If you’re looking to buy bearings I recommend reds or if you want to pay a little extra, the sector 9 ceramics which are definitely worth the price.
Sector 9 pipeline bamboo longboard review
The Sector nine bamboo longboard is great for carving, cruising, and downhill. The pipeline unlike a lot of boards is made completely of bamboo and instead of the wheels being made of petrochemicals it’s made of soybean oil components. The pipeline has a large wheelbase for longer, smoother turns and more stability at high speed. I recommend the pipeline to any beginner or advanced boarder looking to carve, cruise, or downhill.
The pipeline comes with our stock wheels, trucks, and bearings. I recommend paying just a bit more for the better equipment. If you’re going to get new trucks for this board I recommend getting gullwing chargers, bombers for downhill or if you’re looking to carve and cruise I would recommend gullwing sidewinders. If you’re going to get new Wheels I recommend getting anything in a 70+mm (sector 9′s, orangutangs, abec 11 gumballs, etc.). If you’re looking to buy bearings I recommend reds or if you want to pay a little extra, the sector 9 ceramics which are worth the little bit extra.
Sector 9 wedge longboard review
The sector 9 wedge longboard is a great downhill, carving, and cruising board. The wedge is also SUPER durable, it’s made of maple with fiberglass sandwhiched inbetween the layers for flex and durability. The wedge has a long wheelbase for nice, long smooth turns. I recommend the wedge to any beginning or advanced carver, cruiser, or downhiller.
The wedge comes with our stock wheels, trucks, and bearings. Irecommend paying just a little extra for the better gear. If you’re going to get new trucks for this board I recommend getting gullwing chargers or bombers for downhill or if you’re looking to carve and cruise I would recommend gullwing sidewinders. If you’re going to get new Wheels I recommend getting anything in a 70+mm (sector 9′s, orangutangs, abec 11 gumballs, etc.). If you’re looking to buy bearings I recommend reds or if you want to pay a little extra, the sector 9 ceramics which are definately worth the price.
sector 9 dawn patrol review
The sector nine dawn patrol longboard is a great carving and or cruising board though I don’t think I would recommend it for downhill, because once you got to speed since the turning is so sensitive on the dawn patrol you would get extreme speed wobble, which would result in…I’m sure you know. The Dawn patrol has a short wheelbase for super tight turning capabilities. The dawn patrol also has a small kicktail and superb concave for excellent control of your board. I recommend the dawn patrol to any cruiser or carver, beginner or advanced.
The dawn patrol comes with stock san clemente trucks, wheels, and bearings. I highly recommend getting the gullwing sidewinders for trucks, if you get this board you must get these trucks. IF you’re going to get wheels I recommend a 70+ mm (sector 9′s, abec11 gumballs, orangutangs, etc.). If you’re going to get new bearings i recommend reds or sector nine ceramics.
