I have a dilema. My longboard is getting kinda beached, and it's about time to buy a new one. I took a look at the local skate shop and saw a really sick board: The Arbor Fleetwood. It's really fucking sick, but it costs 240 bucks, and my dwindleing account would be reduced to almost nothing. It also curves up, like rainbow style, so it feels kinda sketch for bombing hills, because there is no concave. It has some new, sick ass trucks too. I just dunno. Here are some pics:

arbors are fun, my ex has that same deck i want to say, but anyway, if that's going to be your only board i would get something else. i don't know about you buy i go through boards and they take a beating everday. i reallly want a bamboo board. my s9 cruiser has pressure cracks.... so i'm hoping it'll shit the bed and i'll have an excuse to indulge on a new board.

i'd say it depends. personally, i always want one that can just bomb down hills and some decent turning. on ther other hand, arbors are top of the line, and that board looks so sick.

that is suuuch a nice board.
except. i personally wouldnt spend 240 on it
cause i'd be too sketched to bomb hills.
unless it has dh trucks, that is.
maybe you should just fuck your funds and buy it anyways.

its a good luckin board but for 150 you get something just as good. i had used to have an arbor but it got stolen. they are way good and dont wobble at high speeds.
