Switch or 9two5 downhill?
Is the switch, or the 9two5 better for downhill and bombing?
I am looking at getting a switch, but my brother has a 9two5.

Dont get a switch. It will haunt you forever. And 9two5 would kinda be more freeridy, So if ur looking for downhill =neither. Prehaps rayne nemy, fat pigeon topmount, daddow topmount, glyde, rayne avenger, killswitch. Look at them all and try and test one out befre you buy.

My friend has a switchblade and it's pretty twitchy when ur going downhill, so I wouldn't reccommend it for downhill, but it depends what you like

Yeah my friend has one, again try before you buy And for the love of god dont do that
If you buy a board because its "looks cool" , it will be the stupidest decision of your life. Buy a board once you've researched it, alternatives, riders opinions AND tried it yourself. You cant just buy a board becuase some said it was good, You dont know their riding and style and they dont know yours. Try and get involved with the local longboarders and try there board. And DO NOT BUY IT COZ IT LOOKS COOL. Shittest advice ever.

Get hooked in and have a chat to a local crew bro. Theres a healthy scene in Bris, don't be a stranger, in-person advice is more helpful than any words on a computer screen will ever be.

I've had a 9two5 and a switch (passed the 9two5 on to a friend) and they're both great, I prefer the switch though and I feel pretty comfy at high speeds but surfing on the switch at good speed is a bit of a wig.... pretty sure a dropped through switchblade is just as low as a switch, but i'm not certain. In my opinion the switch is great if you've got a comfortably wide stance that'll allow you to make use out of the cave around the drops. I sanded gas pedals into the switch and it entered a new level of pleasure.
we've got both in store so if you want to have a stand don't be afraid- let me know in advance and i'll bring mine in so you can ride the carpark haha
