ASRA - Australian Skateboard Racing Association

Hey i am looking for a longboard but im not sure what type to get.. i was looking at a vault Fibremix but on other discussions you guys say they aren't good.. My budget is like 250 to 300 and i could prob stretch it a bit more .. and i was wondering what longboards you can suggest for cruising and downhill.. ? So yah, any suggestions or info would be appreciated. thanks.

Are you serious toby? Sector 9 make great boards, just not the cruiser ones
the new race division boards i would say are just as good as any other brand
If any of them would break, it would maybe be the comet. because they use environmently friendly wood/glue which apparently breaks easier
plus, Jacko is sponsored by them and rides their boards....

well sector nines really arent as good as the other boards, cheap glue, cheap wood. i wouldnt be suprised if it snapped over a tiny little rock in the road, but the fsm and early boards are great

Bingzy said:
Yah man i checked it out.. looks pre mad! but to compare .. I like the look of Sector 9 completes better.... is there any on there you would recommend or you dont like them?

Try the comet FSM, its nice and low so its good for cruising and it has rocker which I find comfortable for pushing. Its also amazing for freeride, but you can still dh on it. If you think you might get into some more serious downhill later try the voodoo doll or voodoo.
And its cheap too!

Thanks for all the input guys.. but like im only getting a longboard because all of my mates have them and i was thinking of making the transition from just normal street skating to longboarding.. All we are probably going to do is cruise along the strand (townsville) or the city.. But i wouldnt mind having something for Down hill to if i get into it.. Any suggestions on Sector 9 boards that can offer that or landyaghtz? Is the Sector 9 greenroom anygood for that? or maybe a landyaghtz battle axe? i really dont have a clue what to get ...

Im not totally sure where you could buy them in aus, but if you import it from us then try the sector 9 website, or a shop like daddiesboardshop, or stoked

Bingzy. Why dont you go to Cre8ive Skate? It is in Townsville.
Ado has an awesome selection, plus you wont be paying shipping.
Totally agree with Marty go to cr8ive.
