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.
