Because the search thing is down for the forums, at least w/ my computer I'm not searching.

So what are good longboards, why and estimate on how much they would cost?

A good complete will run you about $150 (USD). I prefer Sector9 and FlexDex, but flexdex just went out of business b/c they couldn't afford insurance, so might have a little trouble finding one, unless you got a good surf/skate shop near by. Or if you know even a little about longboards you can easily make your own. I think there is an article on how to make your own somewhere in the article section. Enjoy

dreggs are really good too. A couple years ago, I felt that sector 9 wasn't as good at them.

stay away from sector nine completes. the trucks and wheels are lacking, boards are decent if you are light.

i have a sector 9. it has lasted a looong time but i think it is too soft. I am looking into landyachtz right now, they seem like very good boards.

I ended up buying a Sector 9...i've always wanted to build one and i had a sweet design. but i'm going away for the summer so it would have to be built quickly and we have very limited tools at my house
