My New Longboard

After plenty of research and some helpful advice from Ryno, I decided on a new Kracked Skulls M1.
46" M1, Randall 180 trucks, 72mm 78a Duro PINK Powerball wheels, Lucky abec 7 bearings.

It finally stopped raining today so I got to go for a skate. The 46" length and hard wheels slide so well and it rips so hard when im carving.

Thanks for the advice everyone. Kracked Skulls is sick. The boards are made by a guy from Utah, he has zero oversight so he can sell quality boards for cheap. I highly recommend picking one up, Ive had mine for a few days and I love it!

me too. The best thing about it is the price, how the fuck does Loaded think they can turn a piece of plywood with a bit of fiberglass and varnich into a 140$ board?

i ordered my board from kracked skulls as well. that guy was real chill. he let me get a custom length. i got the scimitar. basically the m1 just worked on a little more. the wheel cutouts are bigger. i got randall 2' with 78a gumballs with the 38 inch scimitar and i love it. it rips so hard. i can't turn as quick on any other board. that one looks real nice, enjoy it.
