Yes it’s true! There is a new release in the sector 9 platinum series longboards. The newest downhill longboard is the 9-Star. Sector 9 Longboards makes a classic down hill longboard called the Sector 9 9-Star Longboard. The longboard has a classic down hill shape and utilizes a some what newer method of top mounting the trucks to allow for a lower center of gravity. A top mount is my preferred method of truck mounting. It is similar to the flush mount only I feel even better as it is a stronger mount and also allows for an even lower riding board. Yep the lower center of gravity is great to prevent speed wobbles. Also a lower center of gravity makes it easier to power slide. This board would be a great one to learn how to power slide especially for a beginner.
I would recommend this board with the 10″ gullwing charger trucks. I would put a flat edged or slalom style wheel on this board. Make sure you go with 69-76mm wheels. The length and wheel base of the board allow for smooth turns even at high speeds. It has a nice stiff deck which is great for a downhill board. This is my favorite board that sector 9 makes right now. It is going to be my next purchase!
