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 longboards

The most awesome thing about the guys at Sector 9 longboards is they don't just longboard, they shred EVERYTHING. Not only do they shred everything but you see aspects of all their styles form into whatever they're riding and it's an absolute blast to watch, and much like their styles their boards work exactly the same, they're extremely versatile and don't just hone in on one style of riding.

It's always nice to see someone really enjoying a new board they just got. Check these kids out having a blast on the sector 9 lookout longboard. It's a great set up for beginners wanting to do some downhill riding, and some cruising and carving. Check out the sector 9 lookout.

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.

Sector 9 Seeker Longboard Complete

Looking for a great freeride style longboard....Look no further, the sector 9 seeker longboard is now available. Check out Chance Gaul as he shreds the seeker down a popular so cal run.

Sector 9 Backlash Mini longboard

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.

Sector 9 Joel Tudor mini

The Sector 9 Joel Tudor is perfect for anyone looking for an awesome cruising, ditch slashing, or even ramp board. The awesome part about the Joel tudor is it's short wheelbase making it extremely nimble which is perfect for anyone who lives in a crowded city. The Tudor also has a kicktail which makes it great for maneuvering in tight areas as well as have something to fool around an do some shuv its, flip tricks, or manuals.

The Tudor comes with gullwing trucks, Sector 9 wheels, and grease ball bearings. These are all our standard set up for cruising boards and just so happens to be great for ramps and ditch slashing as well. The only thing I would change if you're ramp riding would be getting some indepenedent trucks and some bones Park tech formulas, but even then this is just a recommendation, the normal setup will do everything you need it to and more. This is actually my favorite of the sector 9 mini's (little bias here I know) but I highly recommend it.

Sector 9 Subtraction

The Sector 9 subtraction is a great board for just kickin' it around town, especially if you live in a place that's a little busier than most. Since the subtraction not only has a kicktail, which will make it easier to maneuver through close knit and crowded cities but also has a shorter wheelbase than most longboards for nimbleness and a tighter turning radius. The subtraction is highly recommended to those that aren't looking to do anything too extravagant, such as downhill, slalom, etc. But this board is capable of carving, pool, ramp, and ditch riding if you ever want to fool around with that.

The Subtraction comes with our standard sector 9 complete setup being Grease ball bearings, sector 9 wheels, and gullwing trucks. All of these are amazing for cruising, carving, and even ditch riding. The only thing you may have a hard time doing are slides but this board isn't really built for sliding. The only other cool things I really think this board offers are a traction pad, for those who like to ride barefoot, or want to get on after a swim, or for you surfers out there, you won't have to worry about messing up your grip tape, and this board also comes with some decent wheel wells so you'll never have to worry about getting wheelbite.

Sector 9 gavin Beschen Pro

The Sector 9 Gavin Beschen is another great choice in the never ending sea of Sector 9 cruising boards. This board has a pretty awesome kicktail with a slight nose making kickturns, flip tricks, manuals, ollies, and other tricks possible as well as just having something to rest your foot against. This board is highly recommended to anyone that needs a smaller board for weaving through foot traffic or even dodging cars and making your way through tricky urban streets with lots of cracks, curbs, bumps, etc.

So this board comes with Standard Sector 9 wheels, gullwing trucks, and Grease ball bearings. These are all excellent in my opinion and for the price? Nothing beats this setup. If you're undecided on getting this board though think of all your other options and wonder are any of those choice bigger? If so, take into consideration that a bigger board is going to be more a pain to carry around, you can't stow it away as easy, it may be obstructive to people on sidewalks or in the road, the only downside to a small board when you're cruising is you can't Boardpool with your girlfriend on the front. This is a really great board though and is highly recommended, and on top of all of this boards perks, it has a dope graphic (at least in my opinion) to top it all off.

Sector 9 Quadrant Mini

The Sector 9 Quadrant is perfect for those looking for a great cruising board that can be fooled around on due to it's awesome kicktail and is highly portable and easy to stash away due to the fact that it's only 30" long. The shape and concave also make it a great ditch slashing board as you're sure not to catch a nose when dropping in to a ditch especially if it doesn't have much of a transition.

This board comes with sector 9 wheels, Grease ball bearings, and gullwing trucks. And all of these are great for whatever you could ever possibly want to do with this board. However, if you were to change anything I would suggest maybe picking up some bearings that have replaceable shields so you can clean them, as they'd last you a little longer but as far as speed goes you won't be compromising much by sticking with the Grease Balls, you'll probably just have to buy a new set in a couple of months if that. I recommend the Quadrant to anyone looking for an awesome cruising board that can be fooled around on, or for those of you who have to go through areas with heavy traffic. The shorter wheelbase on this board makes it super nimble and will help you maneuver through what ever comes your way.

Sector 9 Bolt Quad mini

The Sector 9 Bolt Quad is quite a fun board for racing around town, slashing ditches and curbs, shredding small hills, and speeding and carving through even the tightest alleyways or corners. The Boly comes with a small kicktail that makes it extra versatile whether you need to pop onto or off of a curb, do a kickturn or just have something to rest your foot against, you can almost never go wrong with a tail.

The Sector 9 Bolt comes with Gullwing trucks, Grease ball bearings, and Sector 9 wheels, these are all great for carving, cruising, and ditch slashing you can also make this board more responsive and give it a little more dampening with some shock pads or risers. Without them, you'll have a slightly easier time pushing but with risers on you'll have an overall more comfortable ride, especially if there's any rough terrain you need to cover. I highly recommend this to anyonel ooking for a board that's easy for getting around town especially through foot traffic heavy areas like a school campus or market while being easy to stash away as well.

Sector 9 Fraction Sidewinder

The Sector 9 Fraction is another sidewinder from Sector 9 that's an awesome carver and cruiser, However if there's ever a time that you would ever have to take this past 20 mph then I would suggest getting another board. They're great for commuting, pumping, and carving, but hills are just asking for trouble.

The Sector 9 Fraction comes with Sector 9 Wheels, Grease Ball bearings, and Gullwing Sidewinder trucks. It's dropped through to make pushing a lot easier and also a lower center of gravity for awesome pumping speeds. I would recommend this board to anyone looking for a great commuting board that's easy to push and won't tire on what used to be a long and dreadful ride.

Sector 9 Chamber Sidewinder Longboard

The Sector 9 Chamber Sidewinder is yet ANOTHER great Carver and cruiser, but this board is near impossible to take past 25mph Not because it won't go that fast, but just trust me, you don't want to, haha. But for carving, and pumping around town nothing compares, this board has amazing an amazing responsiveness, and liveliness that only sidewinders can give.

The Chamber comes with Sector 9 Wheels, Grease Ball bearings, and of course, Gullwing Sidewinders. The Chamber also comes with some pretty deep wheel wells that are sure to keep you from biting despite how hard you're turning. This board is highly recommend especially to those of you that just want a board for getting around.

Sector 9 Mountain Peaks longboard

The Sector 9 mountain Peaks is a great carver and cruiser, and nothing beats pumping for hours across town on one of these. These were designed specifically for sidewinder trucks and they definitely make the most out of them. You'll notice a significant difference in your pumps and carves with one of these as the board is ridiculously responsive and will keep you going for days.

The Mountain Peaks comes complete with of course, Gullwing sidewinder trucks, Sector 9 Wheels, and Grease ball bearings. These simply the optimal setup for the price and the only thing I could ever imagine changing on this board would be getting a set of bones bearings, but I only say this because I live by them haha. As long as you don't plan on taking this thing past 20 mph it's gold.

Sector 9 Fractal Sidewinder

The Sector 9 Fractal Sidewinder is perfect for cruising and carving as well as mild downhill and some freeriding (however if you get the sindewinders I would only really suggest it for cruising and carving). The Fractal has awesome cutouts so you can lean as you please without fear of wheelbite and also has a drop through mounting that'll keep you lower to the ground making it an awesome pushing board.

The Fractal comes with Sector 9 wheels, Grease Ball bearings, and Gullwing sidewinders. The Fractal is also ridiculously cheap for a board with a a new camber mold (Which is more responsive than most S9 cambers), decent concave, and sidewinders. A setup like this will usually run over $200. But we've been dropping prices on all of these boards not because they're bad but just because there's so many 2012 lines coming out. If you're looking for an awesome cruiser though look no further than the Fractal.

Sector 9 Mundaka Longboard

The Sector 9 Mundaka is a great board for cruising and carving, and light bombing. It has semi deep wheel well cutouts to help prevent wheelbite and it also has a pintail shape that most people love for carving and cruising due to the tapering as it keeps the wheels from biting the rails of the board, also it's simple and for some reason oddly cool looking.

The Mundaka Comes with Grease Ball bearings, Sector 9 Wheels, and Gullwing trucks. All of these are excellent for cruising and carving and I would only recommend upgrading the bearings, IF THAT. So many people come in and splurge, and while it's great that they do, why? If you can get a solid setup for a solid price? That's what were trying to accomplish with this blog here, as well as promote bamboo boards because well, they're just plain better for the environment because it's not using wood. Anyways, the Mundaka is an awesome cruiser or carver and can even handle some light bombing and long distance pushing.
