But if they read your WIFES new board topic the
other day and took a close look at the dimensions,you

If you are smart and not conned into buying some over priced and over-rated longboard brand, then you will be able to afford a new telly AND a nice value for money longboard.

OK Mr Billboard your taking a shot right

New cheap TV 50 inch dud no name brand 1000 or sh-t hot 2000,the brand TV will out last the cheap set 10 fold,yep go buy another and another,10 years later those who purchased the cheap brand will suck eggs.

Same with boards,1300 for a TOP quality brand will last years,800 will last you months at best

When I was a young tacker, I purchased two car audio systems which both lasted
months,saved up for a brand name and lasted years,learnt early in life not to buy sh=t or save or do without.RANT over

Oh and all becomes land fill.

I call "bollocks"

For $1300 I can buy a telly and a longboard that I would be more than happy with and will last me for years - I personally am not driven by or influenced by fancy labels. I drive a hyundai, watch a $500 LCD telly whilst sitting on second hand furniture, own second hand sups and a nice mini-mal and I am happy as a pig in sh#t.

I call bs on that call of bs () - cos paying top dollar for a name does not guarantee anything other than the fact that you have paid top dollar for a name. Yes I agree it should guarantee quality of product and quality of performance but it most certainly does not in all cases. Most reputable longboard brands will do anything you want them to do and all are of very very similar quality at the end of the day. If you have plenty of disposable income and want to spend it on a flashy name brand then I have absolutely no problem with that and if you are on a budget then you should buy the best that you can afford and get out there and enjoy it. At the end of the day though the rich guy on the flash board is not gunna surf any better or have any more fun than the poor guy on the cheaper board.
