I was wondering how are those carvesticks boards I seen on that website. It's cheaper then the carveboard and am wondering if it has equal performance since its smaller? Anyone have one since I dont want to blow off $200 dollars :x .

How are they with hills since I got majority of hills by my home. I really want to purchase one since they seem awesome :P . Is it worth the $215 price for it, Or am I better off with a sector 9 board?

Hills are great on them but the surface has to be smooth with the carvestik because of the small wheels..

I just got the carvestik last week and it is great!! Once i started carving on the STIK i can't carve on my sector nine anymore. ( my trucks on my Sector9 are really loose too) I definately recommend this board. Its awesome. Cracks in the road don't go so well but other than that, it is a dream. I am saving up to buy the carveboard though. It runs over stuff on the road unlike the carvestik. Because here in Carson, the roads aren't really great. Great hills though!!

Ya, they are expensive. Thats mainly why i went with the carvestik. Because the carveboard is something like $130 more than the carvestik. Crazy. I am gonna get a job this summer and save up though. Hopefully if i am not to busy. ya know. haha.

Just get a sector 9 and replace the trucks with a pair of "Holey" trucks. Same effect and much cheaper.

The good thing about the carveboard is the wheels. You can inflate or deflate them to your riding style/slope of road/weather conditions/and they will run over just about anything. Have you ever tried the carveboard or carvestik??? Becuase the turning radius is amazing. I can turn within 6 feet on my carvestik. I don't know about you but that is crazy.

I can't remember the name right now, but some guys made some trucks that they mounted on an old shortboard and took them to San Fransisco.

They were pretty cool, kinda pivoted....I'll think of the name in the middle of the night. Never tried them though.
