 I want a longboard similiar to this one, except my friends have it and i don't want to get the same one:

So pretty much a "piece of wood" with no designs, just very simple, prefferably more than 40 inches and nothing over $140?
+k Thanksss

Don't ask for help and then act like a dick when someone points you to Google. This isn't a longboarding website, dipshit, it's a skiing website. You wouldn't come to us asking which pantyhose will match your new dress, would you?

A lot of people on this website talk about other things that are not related to skiing.... But i agree that dicking on someone who is trying to help is absurd.

lmgtfy is a pretty snarky response that gets old before the first time.

http://thelongboardstore.com/
this store is pretty legit. i've gotten 2 boards off them with no problems and you can fully customize your board

...yet it is almost always the appropriate response. Kids need to learn that NS is not the only website on the internet and Google is infinitely more resourceful for 99% of things that are not freestyle skiing or outrageously large clothing. How hard is it to Google something like "longboarding forums?"

there have been longboarding threads before so plenty of kids on here know a good bit about longboarding. it is non ski gabber so what's to stop him from getting more insight on a purchase he's planning on making? it's not like he came here as his only resource for making a decision.

I think he does snowboard but he doesn't make a bunch of snowboarding threads so your argument is untruthful.

Check out earthwing longboards. I love my earthwing supermodel and the belly racer is also supposed to be good. Both are on the more affordable side and recommended by silver fish.

Check out Churchill- http://www.churchillmfg.com/store/

Decent boards at great prices with many different shapes. I've heard that there stock trucks are even pretty good with new bushings but i would upgrade to randals.

Also a lot of information is available on silverfish (the ns of longboarding)- http://www.silverfishlongboarding.com/

Seriously, be willing to spend a bit of money on a decent board, trucks, bushing and wheels etc etc. Cheap boards wont be fun and most likely downright dangerous at anything more than 10mph, spend a bit of money and I promise you that you will get more enjoyment out of Longboarding.

My first board was an Earthwing Supermodel. It's a stiff symmetrical drop through that is an all-around good board. $100 for the deck and it's durable as hell. Don't be scared because it's stiff, it's low enough to the ground that it is a super good cruiser.

DO NOT GET THE THE TLS LONGBOARD FROM THE LONGBOARD STORE
dont even buy from that store, everything on it is more expensive

As someone earlier suggested a cracked skulls board would GREAT to get into long boarding!!

And if you wanted something slightly better i would look this website

And just paint your board, if you don't want it to look like your friends, it makes it that much more YOURS.
