Ok heres my dilemma,
i currently ride a bds longboard in the bowls and friggin love that thing. the thing is tho, i wanna get somethin smaller.
i have ridden sacred hearts and sma highrollers and end up eating shit every time i take a run on these boards. I think that it may have something to do with the wheelbase.
in the next couple of months, i wanna add something a bit smaller to my quiver. i still want the long wheel base and abitlity to kill a bowl, but i wanna try and get something that is 36ish" smaller would be fine as long as the wb is 19" or in that ballpark.
any suggestions? |

get a hustler from afroman...36 with 18 WB. I have both decks...the hustle ris only 2 inches shorter but rides like a small board....i mean that in a good way.

I have been hearing great things about that board and it is high up on my list.
I am think tracker dart 184's and abec 11 no skoolz, any thoughts on wheel choice? I definitely wanna steer away from another set of Bds dubcons which i curently have on two boards. Also, how is the quality on the afroman boards, im sure stubbs will have somethin to say bout that one? |

as to the quality of the Hustler....first rate. I am a big guy and I cant beat mine down. super stiff too. I dig it....but cant wait for the 36 inch Skaterbuilt....if it ever arrives????
also for wheels...those dub cons and abec 11's...nice but step up to the Shitfires....skinnier wheel but hella fast!!!! they grip great too...weird because they are 99's but they do grip great.
