Never heard of Lush. I've ridden both Sector 9 & Gravity's. The Sector 9's are great, but I didn't like the Gravity at all. I skated a relatively short longboard, the Cosmic Ride Sector 9 is a smaller scale board that I liked. |

Frederick,
There's videos by both the Sector 9 & Gravity teams that have footy of guys throwing kickflips on their longboards. One of the guys on Sector 9, Jimmy Rao, goes sick. I've seen him boardslide an 18, halfcab a 4-stair, & throw a huge back 180 off of a kicker. |

Oh right, I thought they would be just to big to do any tricks on them. _________________
