  Hey I am realy interested by the kracked skull longboards.  I was wondering what are the main diferences the scimitar and the m1 deck.   I was also wondering the size to get?  Should I get a shorter deck, I will be doing some carving and downhill well a bit of everything!  I was thinking on buying the scimitar 38'' deck.

  It would be amazing if anyone could give me some info and sujest me witch one to uby since I just started longboarding.

thx.

I have a kracked Skull and I love it. I have a 43 and I do pretty much a mix of everything, it is decent at high speeds but still a ton of fun for just messing around on.

They really are the best boards for the value.

the difference is how its cut. The schmitar allows for larger wheels than the M1. Other than that they are identical

ok thx guys. I was also wondering if this board was stable at high speed? And for the longer, is a shorther board more stable at high speed?

Get the longer board. The only thing I regret about my M1 is getting the shortest length. I wish I got the longest one.

You probably won't notice a change in stability but you'll love the extra foot room the larger board gives you.

I would just like to say that I got my boyfriend a Kracked Skulls longboard for his birthday a few years ago and then proceeded to get myself one later. They're awesome. Everyone that rides it loves it

dude, im really sorry, but not only are there like 2 threads on NS about this a day, but its also written all fucking over the kracked skulls website. normally im stoked to help someone get hooked up with  KS i love their shit, but seriously man, this is kindof a dumb question, it would have taken 4 seconds to searchbar NS and find the answer, but even better than that it says right in the description on the website...



c'mon dude...


but yeah. the difference is that the M1 is normal, and scimitar has bigger cutouts so you can use wheels without side-set bearings, or just bigger fucking wheels in general. other than that there are no differences.

If you get the Scimitar you can put BigZigs on it which is why you should buy the Scimitar.

The scimitar is also reinforced a little differently (read: better) in a couple of places.

As for length thats all preference but remember the shorter the deck is, the stiffer its going to be.
