The Max Dubler longboard is a real hot slab of downhill ridin' fun. The Dubler comes with a W concave that runs the whole length of the board to really lock you in when doing toeside and heelside standies, and even hands down slides. The Dubler also has a .50 drop on each side that makes for easier tucking, and more control over your slides. And to top things off it's cut so it's much less likely to get wheelbite, which as any downhill rider knows is no bueno at ANY speed.

Madrid Downhill Sean Mallard
The Mallard is an amazing downhill longboard that will keep up with any hill even if you can't. This deck is not 7, not 8, or even 9, BUT 10 plys of hard maple and features a drop in truck/wheel well design. Although it may be susceptible to nose smashing, that's the only thing on this board that'll be getting smashed, and if you're really into downhill you won't even have to worry about that, it's more of a freeride thing. With this board being on sale for $50 less I recommend this board to anyone looking for something that can really smash on some hills.
Madrid Rip 38
You know, I think it's starting to become a thing with Madrid that the board is all that the name implies. The Rip 38 longboard isn't only the perfect size, being just a bit short to be a long....longboard and a bit too long to be a short..longboard. This board comes cut in such a way that it helps reduce wheelbite. Also, this board is on sale right now with $50 off, and it RIPS. It's a great board for all of you freeriders, cruisers, and carvers to hop on whether you're jonesin' for a new board or just wanting something amazing to start out on.
Madrid the dream longboard
The Madrid dream longboard is all its name implies, a dream. This board is great for all of you freeriding fanatics out there, and comes in both a top mount and drop through design whatever your preference may be the dream is the best of both worlds. Not to mention, the twin dip "No wheelbite" cutouts for more room to lean when turning, and just the right amount of flex, the dream is the only board you'll ever need.
Madrid world
In all honesty the Madrid World longboard is just a replica of the plant 2 orange, with a top mount and no bamboo top and bottom. However, that being said I actually prefer this board over the other simply because of the top mounting, just because I like the leverage and control I have over my trucks with a top mount. Although it can be a little harder to start out on I would suggest learning on a top mount over a drop through, and if you already ride drop throughs then investigating the wonderful world of top mounts. The things you can do with a top mount are a lot more controlled than those sometimes squirrely drop thrus when cornering. If you ride a lot of straight lines are don't take a lot of winding slopes then the added stability at speed from a drop thru may be a better investment. Anyways, back on topic the Madrid World is an amazing board and whether you're just starting up, you've been riding for awhile, or you've already been introduced to them learning/riding a topmount can be very rewarding for people that take big corners and hairpins, or do longer slides/pendys that you need more control over.
Madrid plant 2 orange bamboo drop thru bamboo
The Madrid plant 2 orange longboard is specifically designed for freeriding and sliding, and does it's job quite well. In fact, the 7 ply maple with bamboo top and bottom makes this board quite a tank, and will surely last you until the rest of the board is long gone. With the drop through design it makes for an amazingly smooth ride with buttery slide initiations and Ridiculous easy pushing from it's lower center of gravity. If you're looking for an awesome board that will hold up to any abuse you can dish out for less than an arm and a leg then look no further than the plant 2 orange.
Madrid plant bamboo drop through
The Madrid plant bamboo longboard is great for any aspiring downhill/freeriders. Although drop throughs aren't really my thing they do give added stability when bombing hills, as well as have smoother initiations into slides. Also this boards like, good for the environment and stuff man! But really, buying bamboo boards really contributes to a good cause though, and doesn't compromise the structure of the board, in fact, most bamboo boards last longer than normal maple boards, but they tend to get flexier over time, so keep that in mind if you're buying a really flexy bamboo board a stiffer one might be more worthwhile if you don't want a trampoline a year down the road.
Madrid twin leaf bamboo drop through
Madrid twin leaf bamboo drop through is perfect for anyone looking for a heavy carving or commuting longboard, and for anyone that enjoys flex for freeriding it's excellent for that to due to the symmetrical shape. The drop through design also makes pushing twice as easy as a conventional top mount and gives you a lower center of gravity so you can really lean into your carves and turns. The twin leaf is also especially durable because of the extra vertical laminated bamboo veneer that adds strength and torsional flex to the board.

Madrid stripes longboard
The Madrid stripes is a great cruiser and carver and for all of you looking for a cheap commuting, and carving longboard the stripes is the perfect place to look. The topmounting gives you more control in the streets and while it does make it slightly harder to push, it makes pumping (maintaining speed by synchronized turning) possible. The stripes may only be $150 but it aint no joke ya'll pick it up and feel what riding a real board is like.
Madrid Hangtime longboard
The Madrid hangtime longboard is perfect for all of you freeriders and downhillers or for those of you who want to get into downhill/freeriding. It's also awesome if you simply want something for commuting, but in my opinion there are better boards for the job. The top mounting on this board while it makes it a slightly harder to initiate a slide compared to a drop through, but gives you more control during your slide and when retracting it, not to mention more grip when cornering extra hard. I may be a little prejudiced since I'm a top mount rider myself but learning on a topmount is better in my opinion because it's "harder" but pays off more in the end from the ridiculous control over the board.
Madrid bones bamboo drop through
The Madrid bones longboard is yet another awesome drop through put out by Madrid, and at such cheap price, you're probably thinking there's a catch. Well, there's not, This board easily becomes something that rides low on the radar just because a lot of people think that something that costs more is better than something than the latter but this is especially untrue when it comes to Madrid. The quality from Madrid remains the same no matter what you're paying for your board, and really just all comes down to preference. The Madrid bones a perfect example, and for all of you diehard commuters that need something that can take a hill, or you can fool around and carve on, this is the easiest choice you'll have ever made.
Madrid Koala bamboo drop through
The Madrid Koala longboard is perfect for all of you newer riders out there that need something that apply itself to anything. The koala is great because not only is it drop mounted for easier pushing, slide initiations, and a real conversation starter (just because the trucks mounted over the top of the board is kind of quirky to most), but it also comes with a dual kicktails for when you're feeling creative or just want to freestle, as well as a platform just long enough to dance on, all while still being a touch shorter than most longboards on the market making it portable and lightweight for those of you that have to carry the jank around all day.

Madrid Chameleon
The Madrid Chameleon is perfect longboard for just about everything considering it's a freeride board with KICKTAILS! This board is great for just about everything except extreme downhill, and for whatever reason some people even like cambered boards for downhill (NOT recommended) but it's definitely still possible. The best part about the chameleon is it's versatility. Whether you want to cruise, dance, freestyle, carve, or even hit up your local hill this board could be the only board you have to buy until you ride it into the ground, and with the laminated bamboo top and bottom, that won't be happening any time soon.
Madrid city longboard
The Madrid city longboard is perfect for city riding and carving as well as a great starting board for those who want to get into freeriding. The City is a type of board that will grow with you instead of lose value over time, and can be modified to excel in whatever you want it to. This board will run just about any setup you could ever imagine and will conform to whatever craziness and abuse you put it through. This board is more than just a board, it's a platform that can be transformed into doing whatever you please it to do.
Madrid infographics topmount
The Madrid infographics top mount longboard is great for anyone who needs an excellent downhill/freeriding board. It has just enough flex to dampen road vibrations and help pump into and out of turns and standies. Also there's a 1/2" drop down setting the board closer to the ground for an easier time initiating slides and retracting slides. Also the small drop helps lock your feet in when cornering or doing slides of any sort. And for all of you freeriders the twin tip design is great for anyone who does a lot of 180's, 540's, pendy's or any other trick that requires you to be riding switch.
Madrid Crest longboard
The Madrid Crest is perfect longboard for all of you hill bombers out there looking for something that can tackle the hills all while being able to race around town without having a full on tree to carry around. And for people that need a board that can do more than just ride down hills fast (especially when you're just starting out) the Crest is where it's at, and for only $150 the Crest competes with most mainstream boards on the market in terms of quality, I've come to love Madrid boards and you'll know why I do when you step foot on one.
Madrid 3d wood bamboo drop
The Madrid 3d wood bamboo drop longboard is great for all of you riders looking for something that can do some downhill/slope style runs, freeriding, but mainly pertains to carving, and cruising. It's awesome for cruising just because of the kicktail alone, which can help maneuver in tight areas, but also comes with a camber which acts like a natural shock and helps absorb most road vibrations as well as a comfy concave which will just aid in making those blemishes in the road feel near non-existent. I advise anyone looking for a cheap and reliable longboard goes straight for the 3d bamboo longboard.
Madrid DTF Lion drop through
The Madrid Lion DTF drop through longboard is geared up for all of you folks looking to take on those massive hills, trails, and slopes, all while still maintaining the ability to commute around town with ease. Even if you're not a downhill fanatic it's great for freeriding with it's drop through mounting which makes initiating a slide easier and keeps more stability at speeds. Even if you don't want to do anything like that, this board's even an amazing cruiser simply because it's set lower to ground making for easier pushing, if there was ever a board that could make a whole quiver on it's own it would be this board.
Madrid paper longboard
The Madrid paper longboard is an excellent board that's especially great for all of the beginners out there. That being said that doesn't limit this board to just beginners, it has an amazing spring board camber and super comfortable concave that anyone will come to love. With a 39" length, enough width to satisfy even the largest feet, and a 27" wheelbase all contribute to making cracks and rocks a worry of the past, and make the only thing you have to fear is the road ahead.

Madrid bike longboard
The Madrid bike longboard is perfect for anyone wanting to better themselves in the art of longboarding. It's a bit flexy making it a little sketchy for big downhill runs, but for everything else you can imagine besides flip tricks this board can do it. The bike also has a twin tip symmetrical shape that's perfect for freeriding so you don't lose footing or feel awkward when riding switch. Best of all, The bike is only $160! An offer that only Madrid would give for such an outstanding piece of work. Not only that but to top things off if you get it before the end of May you get an additional $10 off, so pick one up ASAP.
Moustache bamboo drop through
The Madrid moustache is great for anyone looking for a freeriding and downhill longboard. A lot of people are starting to like smaller wheelbase boards for downhill because although they're a bit squirrely, they're very responsive and make breaking into and out of slides a cakewalk. The drop through mounting on the moustache give it added stability at speed, as well as make it easier to slide. Also there's just enough torsional flex in this board to dampen road vibrations and give an overall more comfortable ride. The moustache is optimal for smaller riders or people with smaller stance, but are great for people who enjoy smaller boards in general. This board as well as the rest of the Madrid line are all highly recommended.
Madrid original longboard
The Madrid original is an amazing carver/cruiser. It's a bit too flexy of a longboard for anything else for my taste, but it could be used for freeriding. Doing any downhill past 30-35 MPH would be a deathwish though. However the 41" length and 9.5" width make this board perfect for those just learning how to dance and cross step. Not to mention the flex makes commuting a breeze, With just enough concave to hold your feet in place, this board is one of the comfiest things you'll ever set foot on, and I definitely recommend it to people just getting into boarding, or you're just looking for a dance-able cruiser, then there's nothing like an original.
Madrid folded longboard
The Madrid folded longboard is an awesome board for you looking for a great freeriding board with a little more flex. The folded is also a cross stepping and dancing machine, and has more than enough foot space to get down on. Also, it's top mounted and it's more than capable of carving and just everyday cruising. Hell, this thing can even conquers hills, but most people don't typically like having any flex with their downhill boards. I would recommend getting this as an all around board but if you plan on actually racing or something there are much better boards you could pick. That being said this is an amazing all around board and I say get this board whether it's your first or 10th.
Madrid City 2 Blue
The Madrid City 2 blue longboard is going to be an awesome find for any of you freeriders, not only is this board awesome for freeriding, but it's great for anyone looking for nothing but a good cruiser. The 2 blue comes with just the right amount of flex making it perfectly viable for hitting up hills with your friends and giving a bit of give so you're not punished when not paying attention to small rocks, cracks or other obstacles in your way. Also, even though Madrid is a bit on the cheaper side, don't let that mislead you into thinking they're dookie! Madrid makes an awesome board with great structural integrity and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a great freeriding/cruising board that can hold it's own on the hills.
