Well, i recently started looking for some good reasonably priced land boards and the most loved one i found was the MBS Atom 95X for $200: "Entry
Level Kite Land board - Lower cost boards, like the MBS Atom 95X , can be an great affordable option." but there's one problem, upon doing research, I
found that this specific board was , made for people 180 pounds and under, and I weigh more like 190 pounds, and it seems like a small difference, but
if you're going to the trouble of dropping $200+ I want to know the board will function properly for me. That being said, does anyone know where I can
find a land board suited for my size at a reasonable price. My definition of reasonable being $400 and under, but if no such board exists for the
price you can list an expensive one.

its tricky when it comes to landboards. the main issue of breaking them comes when you throw your board away mid air. Ive snapped 3 trucks already
doing this.
so when buying look for quality trucks/hubs. every thing else comes second.
your about 10 pounds heavier than me, so look for beefy trucks and hubs. mbs has a tri spoke hub thats suppose to be the best. they are only 50 bucks
versus their aluminum which are 100 bucks.
stay away from mbs Vector trucks, they suck.

You might want to talk to tridude about his GI Patrol 106. It running the last generation of Bionic trucks, which you can run until they need to be replaced. Upgrading to the hangers and cubes would be right around $50-$55. But it wouldn't be something you would need to do right away. Running it with what it currently has would
also give you a chance to decide if you later want to run harder or softer cubes which would allow you to fine tune the balance between stability and
easier turning.
Kent also has a GI Roller Girl special edition board on clearance.
A 2010 GI Patrol runs right around $399.
