Apex 40

If you want to start learning how to do tricks and just free ride, i think the best board to get is the apex 40. This board is exspensive but it is also one of the best and you get what you paid for. This board has good kicks and it is top mount and drop through. The kicks on this board help for all kinds of tricks weather it be just manualling or kickflips or shovets anything this board can do. Also the deck looks good and is well balanced for example if you try maualling on this it will balance itself out and make it easier to manual, where with other boards you have to hold it and try a bit harder to keep the manual going. Down the bottom is the URL for the Apex 40 video which show you all the things you can do on this board.
