Sector 9 Sidewinder Longboard Review

The sidewinder series sector 9 longboards are becoming ever popular as the news spreads about these double king-pin styled trucks that take carving and slalom riding to a new level! It is the only cosmic styled sidewinder longboard which means it has lots of flex and utilizes the fiber-glass layers. It has a super small wheelbase which makes the turning on this longboard insane! It will turn sharper than any other sector 9 longboard. It is great for crusing around town or campus as it is super small, stealthy and very light weight. The biggest draw back of the board is the height you stand off the ground due to the gullwing sidewinder trucks. The other boards in the sidewinder series utilizes a flushmounted truck that allows the longboard to be at a normal height. It doesn’t take long to get used to the height though and if you are a beginner you wont even know the difference.

The sector 9 dawn patrol longboard should be set up with the gullwing sidewinder trucks and nothing less! You want the 69mm slalom sector 9 wheels for this longboard as they were designed for this board specifically for its hard carving turns. The bearing is where you can save some cash and keep it simple with a nice smooth abec 5 bearing.
