Sector 9 Reflections Sidewinder Longboard

The sidewinder series longboards are very unique as they use the highly popular patented sidewinder trucks. The double kingpin pivot system allows for a higher range of motion creating amazing carves like no other style of longboard truck. The sector 9 reflections longboard is one of just 4 sector 9 longboards that comes with these trucks however you can put them on just about any sector 9 longboard to get the same carving ability just make sure to ask an expert if they will fit a certain board correctly. The reflections longboard is compact, flexy, fast, and turns better than any other sidewinder longboard. It is the only sidewinder longboard that uses fiber-glass layers to create the flex that longboards are known for. The extra flex helps this board turn ever sharper if you could imagine that being possible.

The sector 9 reflections sidewinder longboard should be set up with nothing but the best and that is the sidewinder trucks. As far as wheels go you want a good slalom style, or wide surface area wheel with a flat edge that helps to grip the ground creating harder carving turns and keeps you from bouncing too much while turning at higher speeds. A few good recommendations for that style wheel are the sector 9 69mm wheel, the some of the most popular wheels of this style are the newer orangatang wheels in either 70mm (4 president) or 75mm (in-heat) sizes. They come in orange and purple colors. Orange is 80a hardness and the purple is 84a just slightly harder. A good bearing for the sector 9 reflections would have to be the sector 9 cosmic abec 7 bearings. They are a great price and super smooth.
