Where is a good place to buy stuff like trucks and wheels, decks? Someplace that has a good selection? Seems like the UK guys have it made all the good companys are over there.

mbs.com is where I get all my replacement parts. They are based out of Colorado I believe. I love my core 90!

We carry a large assortment of replacement parts for the GI boards as well as complete GI board packages. If it isn't listed on our website then give us a call, chances are we have it in stock. At this time we only stock GI parts so if you are looking for parts for another manufacturer then we probably won't be able to help you. We also have the new Terrainantula hubs coming in as well as the all new Akoni Kama Pro deck!

When do the Terraintula Hubs arrive? I was at the Campus Rail Jam here in AZ and the GI guys were doing a demo. Akoni was riding his new model and the thing looked awesome.

Oh, and for crying out loud we need some vendors down here in AZ!!! I agree with awindofchange, support your local shops if at all possible. Otherwise the internets are always helpful.

Powerzone and ELI are the go to guys for Ground Ind boards.

for anything MBS go to either MBS.com or Ebay

I ride the MBS core 95 and love it. lightweight is the way to go for kiting. don't worry about rider weight ratings for boards, those are all based off of bombing down ski-resort / downhill mtb terrain.

how does the core90 ride? I've been wondering a lot lately how close it is to the Pro Kite 90 that sells for over double the price of the core 90

have you compared it to any other boards?

I have stood on the pro, and obviously rode my alot. They're about the same in length. Pro has better pop and comes with more hardware that is also better. Just an allaround amazing board. My board is nice. However it is not near as stiff.:singing:
