Fullbag SpeedCruzer
41.5" x 10.125", 31" wheelbase.
6 maple plies sandwiched between 2 Arborite plies(similar to formica), 8 plies total.
Concave, wheelwells.
I sure can get it to flex a little bit but I'm 330 pounds.  I use it as a carver and SGS board but it's being used as a topmount speedboard by some of my customers and as been taken in the 50 - 55 mph range without a problem. |

I know the amount of flex depends on your weight and how you ride it, but WTF? I might have to look elsewhere for a stiff board. That new Earthwing Supercharger looks pretty sweet.
If you want some rediculously solid boards, I suggest you scope some of these:
Landyachtz Evo
Landyachtz Drop Speed
Dregs Race
Kebbek Jon Caften (may flex a tad, but pretty solid)
Kebbek Bassi Haller
the Sector Nine Custom Race Board is pretty darn stiff, if you call the factory they can maybe hook you up. |

| Been wanting to set up a general purpose carving / downhill board, seeing as there are new trucks coming out all the time, what do you guys suggest? |

| When I hear general purpose carving/downhill, personally I think of something about 40" long with 27" or so wheelbase, maybe pintail shape. Sector 9 Bombhills, Pocket Pistols Hill Killer, Ladera Bonny Bomber, that kind of thing. But there are millions of longboards on the market these days. |

For my general cruising carving/downhill board I like to use my Sector Nine Race Board. It's 42" with Randal 180's and Big Zigs. |

Can you post a pic of it?
I'm lookin for a similar deck. 9" or 10" X 42" with a 30" WB would be ideal for me. I was all about the PPS Hill Killer until I found out it was flexy. |

The Sector 9 "Race deck" is a pain in the ass to get a hold of since they don't sell it on the open market. But I recently made a deck that's pretty much the same size and similar shape. It's 9-plys of baltic birch with bamboo on the bottom.
And yes, those are indy 215s. |
