how can you compare the two? they are completely different boards that have different strengths, but i like the timeline much better, i like the style of boards better for sliding and cruising around town

well what type of riding do you do? if your looking for a small carving board i'd go with the timeline, if looking for a more versatile board go with the landyachtz

timeline. you are going to want a "1 board quiver" i am guessing. the other one is very specific for going fast and curvy.

personally if i were you i would get a sector nine kicktail.

good choice with the LY
get some kryptonics for that thins. maybe arounf 85mm. 82a
or something around the high 70's low 80's mm range
and nothing softer than 78a or more than 88a

Get the timeline of anything, unless you want to bomb intense hills only.

If you were to drop more cash grab a loaded vanguard or fish. There really sweet boards and come stock with sweet hardwear/wheels. But if you wanna get into dance stuff just make a board on your own, thats how adam colton started!

Hope that helps!

the ly is wedged for better turning. i have friend with both of the boards and the wedge flex is definitely more versatile.

fly wheels are for racing. with the l.y. your going to want a grippy wheel, like the flashbacks.
