Ur reviews r the BEST !!!
@Rowan Brown Whatever size is closest to the width of your deck will feel the best. Most people ride 180mm or 10″ trucks for freeride and downhill because wider trucks are a little more stable and wider boards can give you more control. On our website, you can shop by truck width by using the filters on the left hand side of the screen (green button at the top on mobile) -Ross

When your 5-ply board just won’t make the cut…
I just recently got the original freeride rocker concave 41. It’s alright but what size trucks should I get for it?
So how is the Original drop freeride W concave rate, when top mounted, for sliding? Also is there a board that is better for the hands down slides as those are my favorites.
why did sector 9 stop the dhd dojo??
What do you think about the mini Shaka deck as a an all around board?
Hey Ross, I’m trying to create a mainly freeride setup that will still allow for light downhill and carving, but I can’t choose my exact preferences. I’ve got some ideas narrowed down, but I think I need a pro’s advice to help me finalize. Any response would be appreciated!
Hello, can i slide on a GoldCoast Dropthrough bamboo longboard? thanks for answer.
Is the 2016 madrid nessi a good free ride board
I just got the globe geminon 41 inch drop down deck what trucks should I get
What would you recommend if I want a fast board for cruising around in the beach .
Physics check: Sliding is easier if you’re taller or your board is smaller because it’s easier to push out your board right?
Would you recommend the Rayne Demonseed for freeriding and pushing ?
Lol there is a rider local to redding ca who designed the barfight and rides for omen
Thanks dude u r the best
Excelent videos keep going
Is a original apex 40 a good freeride deck
What truck size should I use
Thank you for the great vid. I thought I would’ve had to buy a brand new board for sliding but it looks I already own one. Looks like the only thing I need to buy are slide gloves.
that last board is sick
hey, does this sound like a good freeride setup? Landyatchz 9two5, bear gen 5 trucks and blood orange morgan pro 84a wheels?
I was looking at the landyacht switchblade for a while now… Would anyone suggest it or is it not good
how necessary is grip tape for freeriding?
@Sam Gill My favorites are the Sector 9 Static and the Landyachtz Drop Carve 40. They’re really similar, but I think the Static is a little better geared for hills because it’s a little stiffer and has slightly steeper concave. We don’t carry Original, so I’ve never actually stood on an Apex Diamond Drop, but it seems a bit more flexy than the Landy and Sector which would make it better for flatground tricks but not as stable for faster hills. -Ross

Hey Ross I’m looking at getting a new longboard and I wanted some advice on what to get. Im currently looking at the downhill division boards but I cant decide between the arrow, javelin and hijack. Please help
No pin tail?
Sector nine dojo boards are pretty great I own one. I love it
What’s the first board
How would a smaller wheelbase compare to a larger one?
you have both a “how to choose a FREESTYLE longboard deck” and a ” how to choose a FREERIDE longboard deck” video… whats the difference?
what do you guys think about db lunchtray
what is the difference between freeriding and downhill longboarding? help please
Is the LANDYACHTZ Switch 40 a good Freeride deck?
what sector 9 is the best for freeride?
nice video mate ..
can anyone just list me some decent double kick ferried decks please? any advice is really appreciated. Also what do you think of the apex 40 diamond drop 2015?
hey ross, i have a question about the sector 9 mini daisy. what wheelbase do you prefer to ride it for freeride? mine is at 25″ i believe (the bigger in the front and smaller in the tail) and i’m having a lot of trouble breaking into slides on it. do you think that shortening my wheelbase to 24.5 will help? i’m riding mine on gullwing charger IIs with venom barrels 90a (flat washers roadside) and some old abec 11 flashbacks. also i tend to have more trouble breaking into heelside slides on it for some reason…
where can I get that sector nine deck at, I looked but couldn’t find it
Ok what are the options of the drop through longboard
