The Ultimate, Classic Hill Bombing Longboard

Sector 9 has been making a classic hill bombing longboard for over a decade. That longboard is called the Sector 9 Hills. It was formerly the Bomb Hills. The shape of this sector 9 longboard allows for very good stability at high speeds when riding down hill. This board is long and super wide. It also have a lot of concave which is great to help you steer and manuver.

This board should be equipped with a good reverse kingpin longboard truck like the Randall R-II 180mm. The sector 9 hills longboard should have a good size wheel from 70-72mm in size. Anything too large in wheel size really just wont work properly as the shape of the board will create wheel bite with too large of a wheel. This longboard is the ultimate, classic down hill longboard from Sector 9.

Down-Hill Sector 9 Longboards

Sector 9 makes great down hill longboards. A new, radical shaped and styled down hill longboard that was just recently released is the Kommi. This longboard has a great down hill shape and utilizes the flush mount of the trucks on the longboard deck to allow for a lower center of gravity. What does this mean? Well the sector Kommi longboard can reach higher speeds without the fear of speed wobbles. Also a lower center of gravity allows for very good stability at high speeds when riding down hill.

This board is at its best paired with the gullwing charger trucks at 10-inches wide. This sector 9 longboard should have a good size wheel from 70-75mm. The length and wheel base of the board allow for smooth turns even at high speeds. This longboard has a good amount of concave which adds some stiffness to an already stiff board. This longboard is one of the ultimate down hill longboards from Sector 9.

New Winter 2009 Sector 9 Longboards

Sector 9 has done a new grapic on the Sector 9 Wings Mini Longboard as well as a few other sector 9 longboards that we will tell you about. First off, the wings hasn’t changed performance wise at all. The sector 9 wings is still the light weight hard slashing mini it always has been just has a newer updated graphic on the bottom so check it out.

The other new edition of the Sector 9 longboard lineup is the Sector 9 Carbon TR3 Longboard which is replacing the Sector 9 Carbon Trylam longboard. It will be released in 3 different colors; blue, red, black. The Sector 9 carbon tr3 is a great high performance light weight super fast longboard.

My favorite edition to the sector 9 longboard series is the new Sector Nine 9 Star top mount longboard. The board is similar to the Sector 9 Sunset bamboo series longboard just a bit shorter which will allow for sharper faster turning but it has the same width which is good for the extra balance and comfort when carving hard and fast. The Sector Nine 9 Star longboard is probably my new favorite Sector 9 Longboard. I can’t wait to get my hands on the new 9 star.

Mini Bamboo Longboard

Sector 9 Bambino Mini Longboard

This is the shortest bamboo board in the Sector 9 longboard line-up. The Sector 9 Bambino Mini Longboard is a smooth riding, tight turning board. The bambino is constructed of 5-plys of bamboo wood.

It is part of Sector 9′s Bamboo Series, but also qualifies under the mini series. Fits comfortably in a locker when it’s not owning the campus. Nice fat tail for whatever you need a nice fat tail for. Designed for the person who needs to get from point A to point B in style, the Bambino can be set-up specifically to meet your needs but we do have a recommended set-up. Just because the Sector 9 Bambino is small doesn’t mean you can cruise it like a longboard.

Trucks: Gullwing Mission
Wheels: 61mm Sector 9 wheels
Bearings: Sector 9 Cosmic Bearings

The carbon trylam is often used for performance or down hill racing.
This longboard deck is best paired with gullwing charger longboard trucks that are 10-inches wide. You want a good sized wheel around 70mm-74mm and a super fast spinning bearing. The construction of this board makes for a unique feel and smooth ride. It has a good amount of flex but at the same time still has enough stiffness to allow for quick hard turns.
