Sector 9 Carbon Decay

The Sector 9 Carbon Decay is an awesome, light downhill, cruising, carving, and freeride board. Unfortunately it doesn't have much of a hangover (nose/kick) for advanced tricks but regardless this board is awesome for freeriding. I haven't personally taken one on the hills but it would make for an awesome commuting board and it's a bit smaller than most freeride boards that are usually about 40" and I think the Decay is only 37.7" (Or 38 if you're not wanting to be specific) Which means it has a slightly smaller wheelbase than most as well making urban riding a lot easier.

I think the Decay is an awesome board especially if you like the drop through mounts which if you don't already know sets you lower to the ground for a lower center of gravity making for easier sliding, and pushing, and more stability at higher speeds. Another great thing about the Decay is the fact that it's cheaper than most "top of the line" boards and in all reality it's just plain neglected, you can get this board with a better setup if you don't feel like spending almost 200$ on a deck alone if you're short on cash, because honestly, this board will put up with the best of them and is great especially for people undecided on what type of longboarding they want to get into, so whether you're looking for a new board to replace your old one or looking for a first, the Decay is definitely a solid choice strapped for cash or not.
