next thing to spend money on $$

I am getting another board now and I am looking into a smaller type nothing really over 38" I want it to ride around on all day can take a hill or two nothing huge, and pull into a slide easily to slow down and for fun, I was looking mostly at the comet fsmini looks awesome but also something like the landyacthz time machine might be alright ? What are other good all round boards and also good set UPS ? I'm still fairly new so go easy, thanks Angus

Look into the Skatement Bird of Prey or the Rob pro model version.

Daddow 120Y

Glyde Whyte Line

Set that up with Calliber 44's and abec 11 classic thane zigzags or early blueys

How big is tje skatement ? And the glyde boards are pretty sweet too !.

Usually a 30 and 29 inch WB and 10 inches wide its a slick machine for race and free ride. He can change up a few specs to suit you if you ask for it. Also can do Carbon fibre and bamboo for a little extra.

Just the generic deck is $190

The glyde boards are pretty good. All those guys know how to make boards really well, can't really go wrong

i recon an earthwing belly carver/racer would be alright and maybe get some paris or randals wheels sector 9 race formula or tweakers or even cult classics are real buttery for sliding

Which one ? The scud I think you be better for me does it have any tail, that's why i liked the fsmini because it was small bit of concave low and have some decent tails ?

have a glyde libelle with paris trucks, its my freeride/get around board.... Never gets wheel bite all the way up to 76mm wheels with stock paris barrel and purple venom barrel bushings. Cant fault it.

All depends how much you wanna spend too... you'll pay more for a glyde but you'll get a whole lot more board

Pete uses fiberglass resin to glue his glyde boards... means you can pretty much take it in the bath with you.... I hose mine off when it gets dirty.

Comet boards use some hippy earth friendly glue which does the job but wont be as strong or water resistant as a glyde.

my two cents cause im procrastinating and dont wanna do uni work

Go with Kelly's suggestion, but you'll probably find Cult Classics easier to pull speed-control slides with. You'll have to order them from the UK though.

Comet Ethos is an option too - it will allow you to ollie up gutters where a normal speedboard won't. There are so many good boards, trucks and wheels now that it's pretty hard to go wrong....
