The stained glass from gravity longboards is a really amazing carver/cruiser and introduces a unique shape albeit just cool and functions just as well as other gravities, just looks cooler. The stained glass has a really long wheelbase which makes turning in and out of the bowl in parks a breeze. The stained glass also has a kicktail for longboard tricks for those who do them as well as give that extra bit of comfort and stability while on long rides or in the park. I recommend the stained glass to anyone looking for a longboard that will hold against the test of time and someone who wants a board that can do it all.
The stained glass comes with san clemente trucks and wheels but I highly recommend buying some quality trucks and wheels. for trucks I recommend getting some sidewinders ( for carving/crusing) or chargers (for cruising, mild downhill, or if you’re just beginning). But For wheels I recommend sector 9′s, abec 11′s or orangutangs or any wheel in a 60mm or higher for that matter. The stained glass also comes with abec 5 bearings but I highly recommend getting some reds, they’re only 10$ more and they’re the best you can get for the price unless of course you really want to rip through the streets then i suggest getting some ceramics of any kind I especially like sector 9′s.

Gravity 37″ Diamond Tail Indian Arch Longboard
The Diamond Tail from gravity longboards is another awesome cruiser/carver from gravity that can really tear up the streets. The Diamond Tail has a long wheelbase for it’s size which makes for really smooth long turns that can only compare to surfing. The diamond tail also has a cambered layer of “eco-fiber” which is the equivalent of carbon fiber which is what makes this board extremely durable. I recommend this board to anyone looking for a real easy to ride board for small commutes through town.
The Diamond Tail comes with san clemente trucks and wheels but I suggest buying some of our premium trucks and wheels. For wheels I suggest sector 9′s in a 70mm or higher, I especially like and orangatangs. For trucks I recommend getting sidewinders, these are extremely responsive and will make your carving at the park like riding through hot butter. The Diamond Tail also comes with abec 5 bearings but I recommend getting reds because they’re only 10$ more and make 10 times the difference.

Gravity 27″ Classic Mini
The 27″ classic mini from gravity longboards is the perfect cruiser/ramp board whether you’re a beginner all the way to being an intermediate. The classic mini is great because of it’s size for cruising in high traffic areas such as bike lanes, and busy sidewalks. Another awesome thing about the classic mini is it’s wheelbase it has a really small wheelbase which makes for really sharp turns that really help go weave in and out of traffic. I recommend the classic mini to anyone looking for an awesome cruiser.
The classic mini comes with san clemente trucks and wheels but I recommend buying some of our premium products. For trucks I recommend independents, chargers, or even mission 1′s. For wheels I recommend getting sector 9′s in a 60mm or getting any wheel in around that size I especially like abec 11′s, zig-zags, and orangatangs. The classic mini also comes with abec 5′s but I highly recommend getting some reds they’re only 10$ more and they make quite a difference.

GRAVITY Longboard Company Review
Gravity longboards have been in the longboard buisness for awhile now and they’ve put out some pretty nice products that vary from cruising around the streets, bombing huge hills, tearing up the local, turning through cones at 45 miles an hour, transitions, you name it, they’ve got it. Gravity boards litterally have a board for every occasion and they’re great wheter you’re a beginner or you thrash like the pros.
GRAVITY DOWNHILL/SLIDING BOARDS: though they don’t have an actual section for it like sector 9 or arbor Gravity boards are still broken up into divisions and sections. Their downhill boards are actually what they are known for, gravity hosts a skating competetion every year called slidefest where skaters go down a hill as fast as they can and do powerslides. they’ve held this tournament for quite some time now and this is why they excel in these types of boards, in fact I don’t think you can find a better downhill board.
GRAVITY CRUISERS: Gravity makes a wide selection of small cruisers which are perfect for getting where you need to go and for easy storage/stashing because nothing is more painful then having to carry a 30 pound downhill board around a city all day with you. the gravity cruisers also have a small wheelbase for sharp precise turns that can help you get around corners or weave through traffic
GRAVITY POOL AND TRANSITION BOARDS: Gravity also has a wide selection of pool and transition boards which are perfect for grinds on coping and kickturn because of the small wheel base which means you can set up for tricks faster and make sharper turns. these are also great for getting around town, going to school, walking through stores, etc because they can be picked up and taken around easily.
GRAVITY CARVERS: Gravity also has an amazing selection of carving boards, their boards are great for carving because of their 1. excellent snap and flex 2. their amazing base for stability and 3. their long wheelbase for super smooth turning. Gravity carvers are also great for cruising around town, they’re a little bigger than the cruisers and transition boards but they’re still worth buying if you want to get around town and still carve. if you’re not going to carve though i would suggest a cruiser.
GRAVITY SLALOM BOARDS: Slalom boards are great for getting around town, but they are truly great for weaving through cones at high speeds down hills! Gravity slalom boards provide excellent control going at high speeds because of their long wheelbase, however they’re small boards which help keep you from falling yet they’re small enough that you can still get some sharp turns.
