sector 9 boards

Postby Beachbum » Wed Jun 28, 2006 7:06 pm

I feel like getting another skateboard to cruise with since I recently started going down hills in my area and just cruising and it seems fun. I heard one the best brands were sector 9 and was wondering if theres any boards you could recommend for powersliding which I'm trying to learn and going down hills. :D

I have a 3' foot sector 9 that rocks on the boardwalk.. When I'm looking to down hill slide I have a 5' Powerhouse board. It has a lot of flex so it's pretty easy to tail slide.

How are those mini's since they seem cool on the website. How are they while going down hills and trying to do manuvears such as powerslides.
I just need to find the money since there like $150 and up :cry: .

sector nine make good decks and ok wheels, but think twice before buying a complete setup off them cos they come with their pivot trucks which are bobbins and you'll only end up buying new trucks for them.
