Skateboard guys

Sign in to disble this ad
I have been skateboarding for 7 years, at one point I was good to the point of getting sponsored (I had a few shops talk to me about it). Then things fell apart, I stopped skateboarding for a year, blew out one of my knees ect. I got back into skateboarding this past summer, and really enjoy it still. Now to get to my question, I love just cruising around and seeing as I have no car anymore and wont have the money with all the traveling that I have coming up, I am looking for a longboard. Can you guys that have the knowledge fill me in on these things. I am planning on buying one online what should I look for in a longboard that is going to be used for moving around town? Here are the boards and sites that I have been looking at

Thanks for your help, and sorry for making so many thread lately.

You really cant go wrong with one, definitely a company that delivers every time.

Even if they're pricey around my parts.

I am going to have to put in a +1 to Loaded. Their bamboo vanguards are the smoothness.
