MELROSEandFAIRFAX Needs A New Ride!
This ride has treated us well.
Love this skateboard. Had it longer than 8 years and take it out every day. On a short day, will skate at least a mile or two. And on the bigger days, will easily ride 5+ miles. It definitely has 10,000+ miles on it.
This is a Sector 9 board that we picked up in Florida. Wish it still worked well, but the board has been dying a slow death. The wheels don't turn so smoothly anymore, and when they do they sound like a they are screaming in pain. Its time to get a new one~
Wondering if anyone knows a prime spot to get a new board?
We are not looking for a hook up or anything. Sure, most every skate shop has some longboards in stock, but we are looking for a spot with a big enough selection so that we can essentially rebuild this same board. Anyone know a longboard shop with a huge selection in LA?
Feel free to hit it up with a comment or an email. Thanks!

ReplyDeletedude hit up Arbor in Venice they have some beautiful Longboards (and snowboards)
ReplyDeleteImpressive that it lasted so long. My husband owns a snowboard/skateboard company but he isn't making longboards (yet).
