  • Hey I'm gettingnthe apex 37 and wondering what would the best size would be for the original trucks. I'm also looking for cheapness. Could you also recommend wheels and bearings. I am using it as a traveling and a board to just cruise around and learn to slide. I'm 14 and I'm 5,5 or 5,4 I wiegh around 115. And pretty sure I'm gunna get the apex just not sure what length, thanks

  • @wowcantfindaname12 the Original s8 trucks with the standard black springs would be good for your height and weight. Also, a good sliding wheel would be the Abec 11 flashbacks, Orangatang Stimulus, or the Retro Freerides. As for bearings, the Bones Reds usually work great.

  • Hello, I'm 5'10" and 255lb and I want to get a board that well last for awhile and won't lose its shape. There's alot of downhill and flats where I live. What do u think I should get?

  • @catgat100 the freeride 41 with rocker concave would be a great board for you. It's stable on down hills and makes pushing on flats easy since it's a drop through deck. The rocker concave is also a strong board, so it won't lose its shape, and it offers a wider stance.

  • Hey I'm 14 and only 5'3 and 105 pounds, what would be a good longboard to learn on?

  • @TheSteezmister great boards to start out on would be out pintail series. I would recommend checking out the pintail 37!

  • What do you guys say to using risers? (And how do you measure clearance with risers?)

  • Im not sure that i understand everything.. if my board is n5 t5.5, can I use the S10?

  • how would you mesure a board with wheel cut outs like the apex boards?

  • @wargasm180 those are mostly fast downhill companies. you wouldnt do a varial on a evo would you?

  • 6'3 175lbs. What do you recommend? I'm thinking something for stability and long-life. Flat-ish area, with some hills.

  • can you put the 200mm trucks on a dropthrough deck?

  • mine is n9 t9, is there anywhere i can get that size truck?

  • Hey im 6' 3" 225. Im lookin for a board that will last, keep its shape, etc, theres a decent amount of hills here, but there are flats too. Any suggestions for trucks and boards?
