Anybody know what a good longboard for beginners is, just cruising around the city/school campus, no real hills or bowls or anything. Just relaxed cruising. Haha i'm just used to discussing most of my questions in life on this website

either a sector n9ne or a loaded. i have a loaded and it is probly the best present i ever got. there a little pricy in some places but i think is is well worth it. mine got RAN OVER by a can on a main road going like (40mph) and its perfectly fine. i ride it almost every night and its still in rly good condition. heres some pics. its got wicked flex. you can get difrent flexes depending on your weight.






any longboard is tons of fun tho hah good luck choosing

Here are some guidelines you may want to go by:
shorter boards- faster, not as sharp turns
longer boards- not AS fast, tighter turns
wow, i guess those were my only two suggestions.
but when looking, stand on it and rock back and fourth. my friend got one from him parents for christmas, and it barley turns. Also, mine is somewhat curved up on the edges, which is nice to have...

Ive got the same exact board, so much fun... Ive gotten that board up to scary scary speeds. I would recomend a sector n9ne then if your just gonna be cruising around town.

i picked up a skullskates longboard this year and im loving it. Skull Skates Online Catalog

great for just cruising and riding around town, i also got a set of gullwing reverse kingpin trucks and some 64ml wheels, its great for my first set up.
personally, id suggest getting a board and wheels from there, then ordering a set of trucks to go with it.

Loaded boards are great, ive never owned one but ridden one, but GFHurley boards are the best for just cruising around campus and stuff like that look into a pug its a mini board but i loved mine more than any other board i ever road

i also own two bamboo sector nines, one old school sector nine that was my brothers, and i had a third board that was a bamboo sector nine, GFHurley is by far the best board ive owned
