So I have a loaded vangaurd, and i love to cruise around on it. I use to skateboard and the idea of popping ollies while crusing seems very pleasing. Does anyone know of a good cross between the two (long and skate)?

hey man i got a loaded tan tien this past summer and i love it. Ive seen many people ollie it and other skateboarding stuff that i don't know. You may want to check out the loaded ceviche though, unfortunately I dont know much about it. II would highly recommend the tan tien as it is symmetrical and good for everything.

Loadeds are way overpriced, look elsewhere.

Yeah, but theyre the best in my expirence, my friend has had three sector 9s because the tails snap off (it might be because of the way he rides) and besides those there isnt much other brands

Sector 9s suck balls, and there are wayyyyy more brands.  Check out Motion Board Shop or Daddies Board Shop for other brands that have boards with kicktails.  Or check out the Earthwing MiniGlider or Superglider and the Rayne Timeline.

i love my original apex 37. but i wouldn't combine my skating with my longboard sessions. they just seem so different from each other. longboard for cruising and slides, skateboard for flips and shit ;)

same, same, i ride a spliff daily around campus but theres a group of kids that all have bustin boards so i have gotten to ride all the different boards except the mini. cant wait to get on it. i feel like it might replace my spliff because of the symmetrical shape and kicktails

santa cruz makes a really sick mini. i *think* this is the one

its not symetrical but it skates pretty similarly to a regular deck while still letting you cruise.

I think that was the worst suggestion i have ever seen
maybe if he was looking for a surfy ride, but no.

They're expensive but they're fucking amazing.  I've ridden a bunch of different longboards and like my Dervish the best.

i've never heard such bullshit in my entire life. why don't you do literally 35 seconds of research before just assuming that the most expensive board out there is the best?

longboards are for mobbing hills so fast that popping ollies would be retarded otherwise......just ride a zipzinger/cruiser board with gummy wheels

BC Longboards

The board in the middle on that link has upturned nose and tail. Google videos of it too, they shred pretty hard with a 38 inch length.
The company lets u do custom graphics too for no extra charge, comes to around 250 after everything

downside is tht it takes 5 weeks to deliver since they got so many orders this year...
