I am looking for a longboard that can hold speeds around 30mph without getting speedwobble but can still carve easily and powerslide. This will be my first board so im not really sure what type of board would be good for this.

this is one I was looking at... dont know if its good for the above things.

Kracked Skulls. Cheap, fun for carving, will hold 30mph.

^they won't hold much more over 30mph though so if you are planning on doing some serious downhill over those speeds, you are starting to look at really beefy DH-specific boards.

both bustin strike and a dervish would be great.
i just got a landyachtz drop carve and its exactly what youre looking for. basically its for carving hills. it has some flex but ive taken it upwards of 35 with no speed wobbles whatsoever. i wouldnt go with the NS soldier though, it has absolutely zero flex whatsoever (making it more stable, but less springy).

All of loadeds stuff is like 300+ for a complete isn't it? And kracked skulls is looking pretty good especially for the price

Globe definatley makes some of the best long boards...

The longer board you get

The less speed wobble there is sooooo, yah

But if you get a too long board with a too smalle flex you try to powerslide the board will just snap soo

if you wqant a bigger board make sure you get less flex too

hope i helped

i would have to disagree with the globe statement. if your gonna spend that money and you want a sturdy bombing board that you can carve get a landyachtz big gun or bamboo..both around $180 for a complete
