ASRA - Australian Skateboard Racing Association

Hey fellas! Been on here a few times, and I must say.. sweet site. 

Anyway, down to business. I've been longboarding for nearly a year now. I've got a Gravity Makai 41" I picked off a mate for $200, its a sweet beginners board, but I wanna start doing some sliding/DH. I've done a few hills on the Gravity but I mostly carve the whole time. I've been clock at 40/45 but I wanna start try hitting about 55/60. 

I've looked into a few boards and I've decided I'm gonna go with something like a 38" topmount. Anyone got any suggestions? A mate has a wolfshark, but I don't like the graphic on that, so any other topmounts you guys can think of would be sweet to hear. 

 

Thanks guys, any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

Longboards dont go by the graphic they go by the shape and concave dude. It is what feels like man's cream under your feet. Try out the Wolfshark and perhaps an avenger or even glyde topmount and daddow topmounts.

glydes are sick definately recommend !!

EW carbon belly racer. Cheaper, nice concave, works well and is 38 inches. No w-concave.

Comet voodoo doll
such a sickk board for anything you want to do
and very durable and cheap

look into rayne but might be too pricey

 

Thanks for the suggestions guys, I found a Rayne on eBay, its a Vendetta not a topmount. I'm probably gonna get this just due to the price of things.

Heres the link if you wanna check it out.
