    I ride a Sector 9 Kraken Drop through deck with some butterballs.
    Love to just cruise down hills and lace some simple tricks.

    Used to longboard pretty frequently. Don't do any serious downhill anymore but I do still love my loaded kanthaka. It's long enough to bomb if you need to but has nice pop if you need to ollie up a curb.

    Chico does have some fun hills tho!

    I did downhill for a while but now I'm out of the game. Still have all my equipment that I'm trying to sell so I can buy more kendamas :D. I still cruise around town frequently.

    I had a nice quiver, then shattered my ankle. I gave it all away to good friends. When I come back to it, I'll get something nice. I had an in with the sector 9 factory in San Diego, so all my stuff was from them.

    I used to longboard, stopped after a few years though. I was into everything, dh, freeride and techsliding. I loved long boarding but it got to repetitive for me :( I had a truncated tesseract with bustin precisions and always changed my wheels up. For the tech slider set up I rode a loco 35 with bear trucks and pink power balls.

    I longboard, only cruising/carving so far. No slides or anything yet. I started around 2 months ago with a Northern Pine AllPine with Gullwing rasta trucks and S9 race formula wheels.

    Your best bet would probably be to check out Craigslist and such. From experience I can tell you that shipping a longboard is quite expensive.

    I've got a landyachtz and a Never Summer Heist. I really love longboards for getting around, cruising and carving. I attempted downhill a few years back, went way too big for my first time, ended up with terrible road rash. Lesson learned.
