The Sector 9 Backlash mini is perfect for cruising, some carving, ramp riding, ditch slashing, and if you're brave enough even mild downhill. The Backlash is another cruiser from Sector 9 that has a short wheelbase that has a kicktail, why? Kicktails add so much agility to an already agile short wheelbased board it's stupid the Backlash even has a pretty crazy nose, which makes ollies, flips, nose manuals, and some stalls much easier than if it didn't have one.
The backlash comes complete with Sector 9 wheels, Grease Ball bearings, and Gullwing trucks. All of these are great for carving and cruising and I would only suggest changing these out if you planned on doing something outside of cruising but were really adamant about it. Although it's not really suppose to be much outside of a cruising board, it could still be set up to excel in ramp riding, ditch slashing, tech sliding, and maybe even slalom. Although I haven't ridden this one for very long (maybe a 1-2 hour sesh) I can already tell it keeps up with Sector 9's amazing standard for mini cruisers.
Is it any good for sliding?
