IMPORTANT: Buy Bones Hardcore Bushings when buying Independent 169 trucks. For Carving and Cruising: Soft (75-125) Med (126-155) & Hard (156+). For Downhill: add a pack of Venom DH Bushings (85a+) to go with the Bones Bushings. (We will properly install them for you)
Here is what we know about the Earthwing Carbon Superglider longboard skateboard: It's sick! Brian over at Earthwing knows what skateboarders want. The features of the Superglider create an all in one freeride board that can handle high speeds as well as get you up and over a deadly pot hole with the cool built in kick tail. At 9.5" of (EFP) Effective foot platform, you will feel comfortable in stand-up slide and deep downhill carves. A thin 4-ply design complete with carbon fiber stringers gives the rider a comfortable amount of flex to help you glide over rough patches of asphalt and boosts you out of hard carves. Also, The Earthwing Carbon SuperGlider longboard skateboard has sufficient wheel wells for looser reverse king pin longbord trucks like Randals, Paris, and Bears. You can for sure put on a 70mm wheel and feel comfortable turning. If you are looking for a light weight longboard for campus this is the one! It is very agile for a 38" board and still remains super easy to carry around campus. Try it with some Independent 169mm Longboard trucks and the 70mm Orangatang Stimulus wheels and you will have a freeride slide machine under your feet. The SuperGlider is by far one of the fastest selling boards at MuirSkate.com.
Independent Skateboard Trucks have been around longer than we've been on the internet, and with good reason! Indy trucks are the bees knees when it comes to a shreddable standard kingpin truck! We love to set up Independents on Earthwing skateboards, Gravity skateboards, Sector 9 Skateboards, and any other boards with a new school drilling pattern! The stock bushings are quite soft, so you may wish to upgrade them to get the most out of your new favorite trucks. Just check out the bushing upgrade we suggest:
You will want to purchase a pack of Venom DH Barrels that correspond to your body weight (light, medium, heavy), riding style (casual, intermediate, aggressive), and stiffness of your board (flexy, medium, stiff). You will also need to purchase one pack of Bones Hard Core Bushings for the top of the trucks. You will want to use the smaller two (of the four bushings that come in the pack) on the road side of the truck. Be sure to choose a harder combination of bushings for higher speeds and stiffer boards.
Earthwing Superballs Crewzer longboard wheels are the perfect all around wheel for smaller twin tail skateboard, mini-longboards, old school shapes that you found laying around in the garage.

Try Superball Crewzer Longboard wheels with Independent 169 skateboard trucks on the Earthwing Superglider Longboard Board. This is the perfect street warefare skateboard. Local cops won't like the looks of you with this setup by your side.
