I'm 24 and got the Dingy cruiser skeleton complete as a birthday present for myself, been skating for about a month now and haven't fallen in awhile. Love it, took a minute to get the hang of.
I have a Dinghy as well and like it for cruising through the city (not campus, those times are long gone ;-) ) My feeling is that you are able to driving tighter curves with a cruiser compared to a longboard, which makes it more practical for me. Thanks for the video!
I definitely see what you're saying, as in mose cases cruisers are 100% easier for turning...that being said tho, There are def some longboards that are super carvy, it just depends alot more on the board type at that point...for example my drop throughs are kind of bad as far as turning goes, but my topmount dancer board is super good at carving and possibly better than my dinghy!
Longboards are also more manageable if your campus has skateboard parking and are better on hills. I'd take a cruiser if I had to take the board to class or campus is fairly flat.
I never use my electric board because it’s too heavy and I’m limited to like 10 miles which just sucks. Maybe I’ll use electrics more when they start having 100 mile range hahaha
Not a bad idea, but I mean for a rider such as myself I love using my all terrain skateboard and dancer because of the tricks I can do 😜 but I mean yeah not a bad option hehe
Back in the day the college campus in my town was a choice skate spot with its stairs, curbs, retaining walls, and relatively smooth pavement, despite skateboarding being prohibited on campus. Like a lot of college campuses, this one is located on a hill so we would park a car in a lot at the bottom of the hill. If security showed up would signal each other and make a quick downhill dash to the car.
Currently running a dinghy Fender Classic but I switched the bearings for bones ceramics and it allows me to get around all obstacles and I can still carry to class def recommend
a 38" dropthrough longboard is great. Real easy to push and with the cutouts you can stuff 85mm wheels sometimes even 97mm that roll over everything easily.
I'd go with the flex 2 personally, its a good middle ground and going a little stiffer on the tan tien isn't a bad idea....I'm about 145lbs and use a flex 2
Dropped this in one of your community posts. Don't know if you saw it. so here it is again: Can you make a guide on how to cruise in city environments with a dinghy? like how to go over high ledges and stuff like that
I used to hit a rock and skid with my skateboard in the 70's. But I see they have cloud wheels with the e-boards now. I wonder if they have soft wheels for regular skate boards.
The wheels on my cruiser are pretty soft and good, they are 72mm hawgs wheels and go over everything! And for such a stiff deck, it’s pretty damn smooth. The Thing about big wheels though is you gotta be careful cuz they can make your skateboard heavy real quick
My thoughts. I would skate my yellow g and s warptail 2 replica setup with oj super juice wheels 60mm, independent 109s, and bronson G 3s. Yep my setup and plus if I was alive back then I would have the same setup on it except the bearings of course well the same type of setup that is
I mean you do you, I wouldnt go with the sashimo though because I really like the feel of topmount dancers...you just have so much more control over the turning and it feels more natural to me
Hey man, I've been riding the LY Dinghy for about 3 years and I'm looking for a new one. Any chance you can provide a link the one you talked about in the video??
Just go on Landyatchz website the one he has is the Dinghy Turbo flight(the one with little golden birds his graphic is different because he painted it himself over it)and it has Plow king wheels(bigger wheels than normal dinghy so it’s smoother and grippier) it’s $199 USD btw but it’s a great board that I’m sure you’ll get you mileage out of it
@@zmby6785 which dinghy do you have? If you have standard Dinghy classic shape then the only real differences is that the turbo has a layer of fiber glass in between for a snappier feel that also makes it more durable and also it’s a bit flared at the the tip to keep your feet in there, also it comes with plow kings which are just bigger then the standard size if you really wanted to you could just buy some plow kings and maybe add small riser pads(idk if the turbo is the same height as a normal dinghy) so you don’t get a chance of getting wheel bite. But if you really like a certain board or want to switch up your dinghy shape and want to get a new one I’d say it’s worth it for a brand new deck or maybe wait for next years new releases until you find one you really like. Like for me my first board was a Landyatchz switch 35 drop down but then I wanted to get something more portable and smaller to try and use a tail so I got the dinghy BK which I love to this day but then this year when I saw the Dinghy Hibiscus I fell in love(it was between that and the dinghy crown peak,I love that decal too)so I went to multiple skate shops in order to find them and compare them and I found the Hibiscus first try and saw it was actually textured on the graphic so that made me like it even more so I ended up getting it because I liked everything about it and also the fact that it was a slightly different shape for my dinghy BK(shape 9,basically more rectangular shaped) and the hibiscus was a normal classic dinghy and I love how clean it looks. But now imma wait till next years election until I buy a new board that catches my eyes
That’s a bunch of info above me 😄 thanks, for a quick tldr; yes I have the dinghy turbo, it’s differences include bigger wheels and wheel cutouts, riser pads and fiberglass layer.

@@zmby6785 unless you want to try a longer board. Be careful with getting too big of wheels. I recommend a dual durometer wheel. I ride Sector 9 wheels.
im stuck between the ly dugout & ly drop cat 33.. which would you say is better for a beginner on a college campus and value for your money considering the drop cat is almost $100 more than the dugout?
@@OgdenSikel Im going to buy classic dinghy sceleton. Can I buy a 72mm wheels and use one time original 63mm and another time 72mm without changing tracks? 72mm or 63mm will be better to learn powerslides??
my first board is a LY cruiser board, I'm new to it and yeah it's hard to get the hang of, still love it tho

I ride my dingy turbo king Around UNH everyday, even used to have an electric board but sold that cuz i like my cruiser and switchblade from ly

Get a cruiser board with big wheels, end of debate

Very helpful I'm still saving up for a loaded tan Tien but for sure this is very helpful for the future
I just rode my tan tien today!! It’s by far the best at going over all my icky university sidewalk cracks 🤣 and it’s speedy fastttt
@@OgdenSikel would the flex 3 be a good choice for me I weight about 150 pounds

@@OgdenSikel cuz Im not planning on ordering one online and this guy was gonna sell me a flex 3 only option there is really so ye
Love your videos ❤️❤️
I use a LY Longboard for my campus. Fairly decent hills getting to class but it’s been real nice.
Really liking the content bro :).
Bro called it Landy Atts 😂 it’s Land Yacht (Land-Yahht)

It's understandable there are many comments

That's awesome thanks✌️
Love your videos :)
Definitely an OG Den penny board pro model is best for college commuting
AHHHHH!!!! RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN!!! GET AWAY FROM THAT 😭😭😭
Cruiser board, no questions ask
Can't we put cruiser wheels into skateboard??
Can you do a beginner tips ? Ollie and basics
Sure!!

I think a better board would be like a MoonshineMFG Spark or Hoedown
Their eclipse board is what I would ride 😜
@@OgdenSikel yeah or something similar to that y'know? Like instead of a rayne nae nae, maybe Like a DB Sashimi or something like that
I mean you do you, I wouldnt go with the sashimo though because I really like the feel of topmount dancers...you just have so much more control over the turning and it feels more natural to me
@@OgdenSikel yeah that may be true, or like one of my old boards like the county line, or something with kicks, right?

Hey you riding a lot of boards. Would love to know what type is the best for college. Can you help me?
Watch the video!!🤪
Yo dawg check your biz email ;)

Do you have original trucks for the bigger wheels in your dinghy?
Yes but with 1/4” riser pads I believe? The deck I have also has slightly larger wheel wells
@@OgdenSikel Im going to buy classic dinghy sceleton. Can I buy a 72mm wheels and use one time original 63mm and another time 72mm without changing tracks?
72mm or 63mm will be better to learn powerslides??
