There are a lot of good brands of skateboards i.e. Chocolate, Girl, Zero, Real, Anti-Hero, Roger, Stereo, Given, Agents In Red.
Bad brands i.e. World Industries, Enjoi, Darkstar,Almost, Blind several of these brands used to be the best brands but after they got so big they started having their decks made in China to make a larger profit margin....In other words they are sellout brands.
But i think its most about personal preference. My favorite is probably Real because they have a very precise inspection process and deeper concave and stiffer wood and glues .
There is not a "best" brand its all about personal preferance but some brands offer or cater to certain styles of Skateboarding such as vert skating, street skating, fasion skating, and popular skaters e.g. element skateboards
Grip Ur Deck sells grip tape for Tech Decks and Fingerboards that is ready to use. They use the same grip tape that is on skateboards specially made to fit your fingerboard decks perfectly. They also have a fingerboard contest. You can use several colors and patterns to create your own designs! And best of all you can win FREE grip tape for your fingerboards.
for starters get the brand called sector nine but if you are experienced get a land yacht board or a loaded board
There are alot of good companies. You should do some research on www.silverfishlongboarding.com.
The best known, most popular carving longboards are Loaded brand boards and Original brand boards. Specifically the Original Apex 37 or the Loaded Tan Tien or Loaded Dervish.
Sector 9 sells the cheapest boards, but they are also the known worst brand in the long-boarding community. For a good reliable, and moderately priced board, i'd hit up Lanyatchz Longboards.
Ceramic 8-ball bearings are the best bearings out there.
My personal favorite longboard trucks are Paris trucks.
It depends on what you want to do. Trickboards (the kind most people think about when they hear the word skateboard) is for tricks. Longboards are for cruising around and getting to places. And there are many inbetween. As for brands, some are better for different things, but there is no clear "best" brand.
No...
yes, any standard skate bearing is compatible with longboards, they both use the same bearings
Hi We do not offer them anymore we decided to discount everything. Ryan Ehlers Ehlers Longboards
oh god no, if you want to buy a longboard get a landyachtz, they are in my opinion the best that you could ever buy.
