The sector 9 city crusher tokyo longboard is perfect for cruising through town and mild carving. The city crusher has a very small wheelbase for short and precise turning for weaving through traffic and dodging potholes.  The sector 9 city crusher was made for super huge wheels and is actually instead of  having wheel cutouts is extremely thin and lightweight. I recommend the city crusher to anyone looking for a cruiser.

The sector 9 city crusher comes with our basic san clemente trucks and wheels but I highly recommend buying our premium trucks and wheels. For wheels I suggest sector 9′s, orangutangs, or gumballs anything in a 75mm or higher, the city crusher series was made for rediculously large wheels. For trucks I recommend chargers, they’re great for getting around the city, I wouldn’t suggest getting sidewinders for this though because you can easily lose control with the short wheelbase and super sensitive trucks. The board comes with abec 5′s but I suggest buying some reds they’re only 10$ more and they’re definitely worth it.

sector 9 coconut longboard review

the sector 9 coconut longboard is great for cruising, I’ve never seen it used for much else but for whatever you would find it suitable for, go for it. The coconut longboard has a very short wheelbase meaning sharp precise turns, can literally turn on a dime. The coconut is also made of bamboo which is not only great for the environment but is also just as effective as using it’s maple counterpart and grows up to 4 feet a week!

The coconut comes with san clemente trucks and wheels however I suggest selecting some of our more reliable trucks and wheels from our huge selection that we have to offer. For trucks I  recommend sidewinders, chargers or bombers, these are my personal recommendation and have our highest rating and are our most part but if something else tickles your fancy we don’t carry anything that’s not worth buying. As for wheels I suggest sector 9′s, orangutangs, or zig zags anything over 70mm really as these will help you go right over rocks and  rough terrain such as small patches of grass, rough gravel, etc. For bearings I highly suggest buying reds they’re only 10$ extra but 20x better even if you don’t end up buying anything else please buy these they truly do make all the difference when riding.

The sector 9 greenroom longboard is perfect for the commute to work or thrashing the park. The greenroom comes with a kicktail for added support and stability or even for some fancy tricks (if you dare). Also the greenroom has a long wheelbase for a smooth, relaxed, almost surfy feel. I recommend the greenroom looking for a superb cruising/carving board.

The greenroom comes with san clemente trucks and wheels but I highly recommend choosing from some our premium trucks and wheels that we have to offer. For trucks I highly recommend buying sidewinders for this board, these trucks help complete the smooth, relaxed feel that this board gives, it’s smooth yet responsive turning almost feels like riding a wave. As for wheels I suggest getting some sector 9 wheels in a 70mm or higher, there’s no rocks that float on water right? well, with these wheels you won’t have to worry about rocks on land any more than you would in the water. Also the green room comes with abec 5 bearings I highly suggest changing these out with some reds, they’re only an extra 10$ but they’re about 20x better in fact I insist you get these even if you don’t buy the trucks or wheels.
