Ok, I know that sliders pretty much ruin a board from the word go. So, I was wondering, what is a good cheap board that's good for sliders? Is there a good board out there that you really wouldn't feel bad about blatently ruining right out of the box??

Thanks in advance

well i know the new obrien player boards have a slider base on them and i think there pritty cheap. there pritty nice from what ive seen. im looking at getting one or try ebay and then just buy like an old byerly or a new one or something like a premmeir or parks alot of the new hyperlites have slider bases on them. but if you dont want to spend alot go buy like a closeout board that is hella cheap and just go for it. all your choice.

The impact Slider base is Currently available on Shapiro 138 & 143, the Player Series 133, 138 & 143 and the Vision Series 135 & 140.

I got this off of the Obrien site...I kind of wish I would have gotten this on my Shapiro 138.

Oh well...it is not like I hit sliders yet Mr. Green anyway...

the 2002 Prodigy, definatly does not have a slider base, I wouldn't suggest it just for sliders. good board though.
the best board I've seen stand up to sliders are the Origin boards.

Slider bases don't do shitt. Sliders will still tear up your board.

Back to the original question. A good slider board is any old piece of shitt you don't care about.

Anti-shoobies hit the mark. I don't care what the hell your board is made out of, it get fuked up on sliders.
Take an old board, or buy a POS and use it.
