I've been warrantied on my snowboard and have been given $650 of store cred to a massive skate/snowboard store and I already have a new snowboard.

 

I'm thinking of getting a longboard for bombing hills, can anyone recommend a decent setup?

 

Thanks

 

To each their own , a lot of dudes are going for the Loaded " Dervish " or the Original " Apex 37 " or a Landyachtz . I personally think drop-out trucks look retarded , but that's just me and I don't longboard . Original trucks are some of the best with adjustable/removable spring rates . Orangatang Yellow " Stimulus " wheels in 70mm 86a are perfect for sliding . If possible support your local skate shop that sells this stuff . I know a lot of people go for the easy sale on the internet , and if you have to go this route check out Daddie's Board Shop in Portland ( http://www.daddiesboardshop.com ) . A good deal is usually found on their site . Good luck . :cool:

Just heard Emmanuel Guzman & David Gravette left VOX for C1RCA...:eek:

 

Wonder if VOX is gonna go under , thought for sure shitty DVS would but still seeing new ads for DVS shoes ?

 

I was given a free pair of the VOX " Spliff Life " Gravette Troopers recently , and will park em' on a shelf . Never liked C1RCA no matter how much I love Ramondetta & Lowcard Mag .

you put dvs and vox in the same boat?

 

dvs seems to have way more of a core following than vox.

 

i never really like vox...then again...im a retired sneaker head, so what do i know.

i never really like c1rca either...but their team has always impressed me(for the last 5 years, haha)

VOX = The less-cared about Punk Rock shoe company...it's sad because their shoes looked like crap and they were just starting to turn around with some good designs ( Like the Hewitt 2 Anti Hero shoe ) .

 

Sure will , probably going to have a carload of peeps with me . :cool:
