so ive been looking for a new longboard and really liken the loaded dervish but i think 185 for a longboard deck is alittle to much for me. Do you guys know of any boards simialar to the dervish that is cheeper? i want a symetrical board that is good at speed and sliding. any length will work just not to short.

Kracked Skulls M1 or Scimitar.

I have an M1 and I'm very pleased with it, especially for how little I paid for it.

herpa derp/this.

aaaand, check out my signature and help me help you help me get some free stuff and help you use the code to get 5% off your board. just enter the code "mongoose" if you chose kracked skulls.

or in english, use the code in my signature if you want to get 5% off on a kracked skulls.

i personally suggest a 40 inch scimitar with whatever color randall trucks and some lime zigs, you'll have tons of fun on it. don't get the quartz grip though, it sucks and rubs off in like a month. just grip it yourself

I'm in the same boat as the OP.  I like your suggestions, but none of the boards you recommend are cheap (except the Kracked Skulls, sorta).  Is longboarding something where it is worth putting the extra investment into, or can you be alright with a board under 100 dollars?  I'm just looking for something for around campus right now, maybe doing some hills later on.

Buy one of our boards, we make them right out of our basement. They are simaler to the dervish, and the never summer heist in flex and just all around quality of the board. Get back to me if you are interested in our boards.
