KRACKED SKULLS LONGBOARDS

Hey, I have been looking at getting a longboard for more than awhile. I was told about Kracked Skulls and checked them out and they looked really cool and great for the price. But I want your opinion. Does anybody have one of these boards and can break them down for me. How do they compare to some of the more well known longboards and companies. I have been really liking the look of the Loaded Dervish and Vanguard. Can anybody compare Kracked Skull board to these Loaded boards....

Thanks.

the major diference between the two that you will find is that the loaded boards have different flexs than the Ks because loaded makes thiers with bamboo. this means their boards will be flexier than the Ls boards.

The "rule" used to be if you were gonna use this comment, to prove that you yourself used it and provide links to be a helpful member. Not just a douche. =)

If you are new to longboarding I wouldn't be so adamant on just those boards. However if you are set on getting one of the Kracked Skulls boards or the Loaded boards then I would look on silverfishlongboarding.com to try and find more info... its basically the newschoolers of longboarding.

Good luck with whatever you choose, you are going to have shit ton of fun no matter what.

i have the m1 46in. i bought it off of a friend who rode it for about a year. the flex is great, carving on it is soooo smooth, i can't even begin to explain. Get one. i've ridden other longboards, and im in love with this one. just use it all the time, and you'll know what i mean.

Great info so far everyone. Thanks a lot. I need to determine whether I would get an M1 or a Scimitar if I do get a KS board. What are the best uses for each? And how flexy are they, especially compared to Loaded Vanguards and Dervishes?

Also, what other boards are similar in style to Loaded Dervish's, Vanguards and these KS Boards.

Thank you for all the help so far...

KS boards are great boards for people new to ongboarding that dont wanna drop 300+ on a Loaded or LandYatchz. I've had my board for 3 summers now and its still kicking ass (although i clean the bearings twice a summer to keep them in good shape).

In YOUR OPINION. Which longboard would be best for a 5'9" 130 lbs kid who wants to be able to cruise around town and do moderate hills (can't go very fast yet...)

Anyone have an ideal board for sale?

check the landyachtz wedge flex in the link i posted... its one the the best cruising boards out there and it has some dh capability with the wedge shape.

and its only 145 for a complete... which normally retails for 230+

Any offer advice....

I just want to know whether the Scimmy or the M1 from Kracked Skulls would be better for the type of riding I plan on doing AND how Kracked Skull boards measure up against Loaded boards because I really like Loaded....
