Sector 9, 45.5"x 9", Gullwing mission trucks, 9 Ball wheels

I'd get it for $90 or maybe less. It's my first longboard but I've gone longboarding a couple times and loved it. I want board that's equally as good for bombing as it is for just cruising and carving.

I ended up with a pretty much brand new 38" Arbor Bamboo Hybrid for $85

You should post if its legit or not when you get it. I've never ridden an Arbor board but all the skate shops down at Venice seem to carry more Arbor than anything else.

I don't mean to rain on your parade but lime big zigs suck for anything besides going fast.  They are some of the fastest wheels out there, however they suck for everything else.  Get new wheels unless you're bombing over 50 mph.

Disregard this. H'es probably saying they suck for sliding or something, but believe me, after you break them in for a couple months, they actually slide pretty well. Probably not so great for ridiculous sideways slide gloves on the ground-kind of slides, but I have absolutely no problem getting my tail to kick out when I want to.

Reason I like them so much is just for the smoothness. Maybe they are supposed to have high rolling resistance or something? Either way, they absorb cracks/bumps like no other wheel i've ridden.
