"just use a plastic chopping board "

"nice man how'd u get ur hands on them free?  "

"u should put them on ebay mate... i know many people who want some slide gloves but don't want to spend to much "

"try voodoo longboards they should be able to help you out"

"Gotta admit mate, I haven't heard great things about them. Apparently their boards snap and stuff like that. "

"check out the concrete lines link on the side he sells quality boards and any other gear (helmets, wheels etc.) for reasonable prices."

"A mate of mine got a board from there. He wishes he'd just shelled out the extra for something from the hop shop or boardshop.com. They aren't THAT bad but they still aren't great. If you want the trucks to actually do anything you…"

"very cheap generic boards that break easily"

"a not bad idea would be to buy a the pulse drop through, and buy a truck package from that site, I know a guy who rides those trucks in melbourne and they dont suck that much, compareable to a force or randal truck in quality and ride "
