As far as ALL performance matters go, Sector 9s are trash. Get a real board. If you are focused on getting something cheap get an earthwing, otherwise get a landyachtz or something

To be fair to sector 9, they do make good boards, just not the ones that you can buy at zumiez, and usually cost a lot more than i assume you want for a newb board. I would look into landyachtz, they are cheap(compared to most nice boards), fun, and built well. There is a plethora of other good brands, but landyachtz would be a good place to start.

Don't get sector9 they suck. Landyachts, loaded, original, northern pine. These are the brands you should be looking at.

i got a barely used pintail for $100. Solid deal. But yeah, they are way too expensive new for no observable reason.

Never really looked at original. But to answer your question OP, wheels and trucks should last quite a while if you aren't doing any free ride. Which I'm guessing you aren't doing because your thinking of a sector 9 pintail.
