for longboards is flex 1 stiif or bendy
You can slide on a longboard heelside in less than two minutes. After several months, you may eventually shoot for 60 minutes or less
It depends on your riding style, but for a Loaded board, I'd suggest something like Paris brand longboard trucks or Randal brand longboard trucks.
The "best" wood depends on if you want your longboard to be flexible, stiff, light, or heavy. Maple is a common wood used to build stiff longboards, it is a tad heavy but not really a problem. An alternative to this is Baltic Birch wood, it is cheaper than maple but a little more flexible. Bamboo is also used on longboards but may be harder to press and access. If you are going to make a longboard I would recommend using fiberglass on the bottom and maybe even top layer to add some strength.
You can powerslide any board if you have the skill. If you're a beginner I would probably go with a board in the 40 inch range (37-42) and it should have nice concave so your feet won't slide off. Make sure to get good griptape.
nah losen u trucks just a little and do a heap of bert slide and 360 spins on ur board
i suggest 7-9 can longboard with parent guidance.then 10+ can longboard without parent guidance
no go for the Sector 9 they are very reliable
The only way to power slide is to either have very slippery wheels ona very smooth slipery surface then its not possible and if u try you'llfall flat on your face. Then you'll wake up in the hospital or get onscarred.
longboard races
If you want to try longboard surfing you should go to First Point, Malibu, California. Makaha in Oahu, Hawaii is also a popular place. Cardiff in California is known as one of the best places for longboard surfing.
