Sector 9 sprocket
The sector 9 Sprocket complete longboard is perfect for all of you easy going freeriders (or aspiring ones). The best thing about the sprocket, along with the drop through mounting is that the things you can do with this board are almost limitless. It's truly a quiver a one. The double kicktails and symmetrical shape are what make this board so beastly for both freeride and freestyle riding. Feel like busting out an ollie before bombing a hill? Blunt slides to change up from 180 standups all day? This board is more than capable and if you aren't familiar with a double kicktailed board then you'll find your repertoire almost double from the sheer usefulness of double kicks.
Sector 9 Drifter longboard complete
The Sector 9 Drifter complete longboard is the perfect ride for anyone who wants something that can cruise and carve with ease. The soft and cushioning flex not only makes cruising more lively and fun, but dampens road vibrations and makes those notorious potholes feel like notches in the sidewalk. The Drifter is also one of the few sector 9 boards that are truly pump-worthy, and can create enough momentum to keep you in motion without having to push. While you may never have to push once you learn how to pump, it's dropped through making it much easier for pushing, sliding, and gives much more stability at speed compared to a traditional top mount.

Sector 9 Eye dropper
The Sector 9 Eye dropper is perfect for anyone looking for something that can hold it's own freeriding, on the hills, or just plain cruising around this board is a real jack of all trades. Also, coincidentally it's one of our cheaper boards, which thinking about it, is probably why we never have these on the shelves haha. But back on topic, the kicktails are more than functional but not so big that you're losing a significant amount of wheelbase which can make your board feel squirrely when hitting the hills. Last of all this board comes with a drop through mounting which really helps keep stability when hitting those big hills and helps so you can break into and bring slides back. For anyone looking for something that can hold it's own doing whatever this is your quiver of one board.

Sector 9 Mr Joel Tudor
The Sector 9 Mr Joel Tudor is a great addition to anyones collection or an awesome starter to anyone looking for a new board. It has a mellow kicktail which is great for popping onto and off of curbs and other obstacles in the road as well giving your place a something to push against for tighter corners, in tighter places. Another great thing about the Joel Tudor and what makes it so worth the money in my opinion is the bowl concave along with the camber, the concave really makes you feel locked in but not in a bound type way, it's like an arch support on shoe because of the camber which gives it life, and snap, as well as making it much more responsive for carving and cruising.
The Joel Tudor comes with grease ball bearings, sector 9 wheels, and gullwing trucks. For wheels you could go with anything from Orangtang In heats or a low durometer stimulus if you have the money upgraded sector 9 wheels or abec 11 flashbacks, zig zags, or big zigs, it's all really down to preference but I would recommend a softer wheel in 65-75mm. As for bearings, I think Reds are the best for the money, but if you have the money get some bones swiss or even ceramics if you're not looking to buy bearings for the next 3 years. And honestly the Gullwing trucks are good no matter what else you put on but if you want something really responsive and to give you a more surfy and responsive ride then try out the sector 9 sidewinders, however if you plan on taking this board past 25 mph though I would just stick with the gullwings. Again, if you're looking for an awesome commuting or carving board, you really can't beat the price for such a quality board.

Sector 9 wheels
Sector 9 as you probably all know has been around for quite some time, was really one of the first longboard companies to start off the longboarding scene, a couple years back anyways. One of the great things about sector 9 wheels is they're always trying to find new ways to improved their impact on the environment, it started out with bamboo boards and moved on to hemp gloves that didn't use PVC, organic cotton shirts, and other things that they tried to doing to improve how they were affecting the environment one of the greatest thing about the Sector 9 line was their soy based wheels, unlike most that used their polyurethane counter parts Sector 9 tried doing something truly unique and to be honest was a really big change up in the longboarding industry, not to mention all of their specialty wheels for all of the niches of longboarding such as the racing formulas, slide formulas, and butterballs, and as for the cheaper bystander for those who just want to cruise there's always been the Sector 9 top shelves that are made simply to out endure all other cruising wheels, and do a pretty darn good job at it.
