bruh I have literally been having a crisis about which board to ask for for my birthday I love you and your hair
hahah glad me and my hair could help 🤔
Lol
Same bro
Always grab something with a kick tail for starters
Great to cruise
Great to pop
Great for control
Exactly what I'm looking for I love you
I know the difference between all these types of boards, but I watch these videos because they are simply the best. Keep up the great work man! ; )
Really appreciate that Tomas. Thanks man!
I definitely can relate to you. I used/loved a regular skateboard in my teens but now as a adult, I am absolutely fascinated with carving and smooth ride of cruisers!
To this day the best thing I've ever ridden was my buddy's bamboo longboard 8 years ago. 3 pretty light pushes and the thing maintained a constant speed for a good 300m on mostly flat ground with many bumps and pebbles in the path. I couldn't feel any inconsistencies in the pavement, it was like riding on air. Since then the only thing that has come close was riding my snowboard through fresh powder that had just fallen onto a recently groomed trail.
Seriously if you want a luxurious ride, buy a nice longboard.
Seeing this comment, i think a longboard and some soft wheels might be exactly what I'll get. When I first got a board, I didn't know what type of board it was until I watched this video. Turns out it's a skateboard 😕. The only reason I'm sad about it is because all i wanna do is just ride up and down the streets and around my suburban city. And skateboards are more specifically for performing tricks, of which I don't intend on doing 🥲.
@@i_just_did_your_mom_LoL naw dont be sad at all i barely do tricks i mainly need to cruise and get to places as fast as possible so i jus put longboard wheels on my skateboard and it feels like riding on a cloud so thats really the best of both world
@@MARTINEZ-fo4ve I have no idea why i didn't think of that beforehand, but big, soft wheels (hopefully not big to the point of getting frequent wheelbite) are definitely going on my Christmas list this year! 😄
@@i_just_did_your_mom_LoL naww dw ab wheelbite all u gotta remember is ur wheels have to be smaller den 70mm my wheels r from cloud ride and dey 62 mm and omg its fr feels like riding on a cloud and i never get wheelbite
@@MARTINEZ-fo4ve the sidewalk in my town is very rough and bumpy, but i hope it works 🥲🤞 (I also subscribed to you btw)
Even as an experienced skater in all departments, I still enjoyed this video and I believe this channel is highly underrated for such quality and straightforward content
Really appreciate that, thank you!
I bought a longboard recently and this helped me confirm that my decision on what to get was a good idea, thanks!
Thank you for taking the time to make this video, I appreciate you.
Getting back into skating at 30 years old myself.
Thanks to your videos I just ordered a cruise board! Elimination is really a good method, I don't want to do tricks and don't have good clean roads for a longboard, so cruising it is :) Plus it fits into my suitcase for a trip to the Greek seaside.
It'd be interesting to see a video for people curious about longboard dancing and boardwalking. Longboarding has so many different vibes it's hard to pick when you're first starting
'go shred instead' just ordered a new longboard so hopefully soon. but content good dude, keep it up!
Thanks dude! Enjoy your new longboard!
Thanks for the great overview - breaking it down for newcomers so nicely. Right now I am using a longboard (without nose and tails) but after watching this vid I think I am going to get myself a cruiser next.....
This is legit my favorite channel for board related stuff and honestly, might be my favorite channel on all of UA-cam. Love your work, can't wait for the next video
I like how you don't include the penny boards lol.
pEnNy bOaRdS aRe fOr pOsErS
New to skating, anyone wanna explain what's the deal with penny boards? 😗
Toys for people who don't really skate. Which is wierd because they're not easy boards to learn on either
@@beckydarrow penny boards are cruiser boards for convenience. They aren't big because that's not their purpose, they're meant to be a board that you can take across campus, around the beach, etc. Instead of taking a full sized 32inch board. Obviously they aren't the most comfortable to ride on but if a penny board seems like it is useful to you then buy one
@@hexxed4245 well said bro
Dude I can't get over how well done your content is. Really informative the shots are clean af and the editing is smooth as butter 🧈👌
whats up guys! it's been a while but im glad yall are still at it, ima binge watch some vids now 😌
Thanks! Yup, still going and not stopping. Appreciate the support!
Nice I'm too lazy to go out rn so let's binge
Great as usual mate. Definitely good for beginners. Keep it up!!
Already knew but I stayed for the production quality and entertainment value. Please continue to make great videos !!!!! 🤘🤙
Ayyy appreciate that Cole! Thanks man
Thank you for this I have been so confused about the differences between these three
great video dude! nice production quality and great job explaining the differences and what those differences mean for the skater!
Stoked to hear that, thanks for watching and leaving a comment
Onestly i think i'm gonna get a cruiser because i'm not too keen on tricks but i want it to be more portable. This video was really helpful for me so thank you!
Shred shack back at it again with a banger video 🔥🔥
You should do a video about the different types in the longboard. Like what the strengths are of like top mount speed boards drop through drop deck (which barely exist anymore except micro drops in boards like the switchblade) and what type of riding they are built for. I think alot of people could use that information.
I had regular skateboard for a long time but never was interested in tricks too much. My friend gave me his long board and its such a smooth ride and bombing hills is crazy fun. The speed at first was scary but if your focused and determined you can have a lot of fun.
I needed this video. Thanks!
Thankyou soo much for this extra Video for ne Newbies :) Really appreciate this!
Glad it was helpful 🙂🙏
Amazing explanation thanks ❤
Glad it helped 🙂🙏
Learned a few new things in this video...you did a good job, and you didn't need that disclaimer at the start, IMO. I like the catchphrase "go shred instead" though, haha! :)
Simple and clear, good job man
thanks for this video. this sure helps a newbie like me!
I love how the editing improved. Great job!
If i may recommend a board to cover you should do sector9 minimalist wave crusier! The bamboo hybrid flex is insane for how short it is and the double truck system makes the board carve so smooth! I just got the board 2 days ago and been loving it and noticed no ones really covered it much. Im curious to know your idea with the board as i feel like its the best hybrid of skating and long boarding and carving except for the missing kick tail. Anyways i just subscribed the content is quality af man keep it going 🚀
Excellent video. Honest and entertaining. I reckon a cruiser is for me... I basically want a longboard that is more portable
When I was 13 I got my first board, it was a cruiser 9.25, it helped me get really comfortable before using a normal skateboard
Awesome - ya that's a solid way to build a foundation
Hey guys I think you should make a video about what skateboard bearings to get cause there’s so much bad info on UA-cam that so many people find confusing. :) Much love from the UK dudes🤘🏽
love the cinematics , was just gonna go cruising today cuz its warmer in nj now
I'm about to do the same. Gonna be a beautiful day for cruising! Yewww
I got the Dinghy based on your reccomendation about a year ago. Best choice ever and wouldn't have been able to make it without your help 😁
Hows the dinghy for light carving? I just ordered mine can't wait for it to get here!
@@mattarchey559 It's amazing for that, I use it mainly to go around town and to shops. Hopefully will also use it to commute to college a bit but it's great for everything whilst still saying small. Smooth ride too. Hope you enjoy it.
Im thinking of getting one
this is very helpful, thanks a lot♥️
I really enjoy pin tail boards for cruising around town and you can still do certain tricks on them
I've been waiting for this video for so long..but I already bought a longboard like 2 days ago😭 why are you doing this to meee
Thanks for the video it helped alot
Love this, Big Up!
love your vids man
Thanks! I really appreciate that!
This is soo helpful🎶 Thaank you🛹♥️🌈
NICE! I bought the Coyote Deck as well. Nice to see it in the back :)
Thanks for the advice. Subbed forsure💪🏾
Appreciate that Isaac!
Excellent summary!
thanks Reinaldo. Stoked to hear that
Interesting information. 👍🏽
Attention to details, a black aproval emoji. Cool!
I appreciate the little beginner tutorials. I've been skateboarding my entire teens and some of my twenties, but not much in my 30's at all.
I'm 41 and just checking the scene on some long boards and getting familiar with the whats out here, because I want to buy one, and just not familiar, so thanks man, I stuck around to watch.
Got a longboard and it’s fun, but it’s made me realize the differences between everything. I’m planning on getting a surfskate when I’m just trying to chill and not kick, this magneto dropdown with the glider wheels looks very neat and not too pricy either, and I’m starting to get an itch for a skateboard. Probably wouldn’t never ride it around, but literally just do tricks. I’d choose any other board than the skateboard to ride around 100%
Great video as usual 👍
Thanks for showing up and supporting. Appreciate that!
"Truck tension" allows higher speed on shorter boards but then if you are too light it can be difficult to turn. Thus longboards came into existence to use a different way to allow stability and lack of higher speed wiggleout via something other than tightening the trucks to death.
This video was helpful thank you:)
These videos are sooo helpfull! I was about to buy a skateboard and these videos showed me that it's exactly what i don't need
Just wanted to retake my "skateboarding" years from when i was a kid. I was a noob back then and still are but this is perfect for what i got in mind... Just cruise,.. thank you very much for the video man.. 😌
Thank you, Im old and wanted to be my teenage self again , only skateboards back in the day. Appreciate you making this, longboard for me .
I needed this
Always thought only one board, now I’m on my second long board, and thinking of trying a cruiser next. It’s the 1 board mentality you need to rise above.
This one came out quick
Great vid
Thanks Taven! Appreciate that
THANK YOU SO MUCH, I APPRECIATE THIS VKDEO BECAUSE NO ONE DID IT LIKE THIS. PERFECT!
Great video. Ive been thinking which board to buy
You're the best youtuber
Keep going man! 👍👍👍👍👍👍💪💪💪💪💪
Thanks Robbe. Stoked you keep showing up and supporting. Means a lot!!
thank you sir! i shall buy my first cruiser this weekend :)
Never skated before like to a serious matter but I just picked up the sector 9 ninety five cruiser.. been stuck inside the last year so I figured I’d treat myself. Been riding it around and I gotta say I do like it. Very smooth.
this channel only makes hits. The Barry Bonds of Boards. love the content! grade A kick flips in this video too. I’ll be back next week
THE BARRY BONDS OF BOARDS lol 😂
@@concrete-waves that can be a tongue twister if you think about it lol
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH i have been waitting for the vid to come out so i can show this video to other people to help them. Thank you so much for this
Freaked me out when he said Johnny
we are living in your walls johnny
Hey bro, been learning alot from your videos but I just have one thing to ask. What type of longboard would you recommend for a heavy rider? I'm 6'2 and weighing in a 104kgs. Im looking at getting my first one but would want one that doesn't get affected by weight too much. Any recommendations?
I'm planning to buy a board that I'll mainly use for cruising.
I'm torn between getting a popsicle or a cruiser deck.
If I get a popsicle and put some cruiser wheels, I can still use it for tricks. Maybe swap the cruiser wheels with 90A+ wheels whenever I feel like doing tricks.
On the other hand, if I get the cruiser deck, it's much better for cruising but it's not really the best for doing tricks. While it's not impossible, I'll have a harder time pulling off tricks.
Definitely subbing. Awesome video! I'm a 30 year old dad, getting my kids into skating. My wife ordered me a landyachtz dinghy, I gave my kids my old skateboards they love them!! I love cruising nowadays 😌
Your wife did the right thing! Dinghy is the best skateboard ever
Hadn’t skateboarded in years, brought a mini longboard eggboard knockoff to Brazil cuz at 19” X 10” it fit in my suitcase. 72mm wheels rolled sweet and got some fun footage. When I got home I got a Landyachtz ATV 36”x10” and 66mm wheels. Its cool, just got their longboard now have yet to get a good dry day but its 40”x9” w 70mm wheels and bottom mounted, I think its gonna be great
Also I have a cruiser now after starting with a longboard last year and I am in love! Totally eying the surfskate for next year as well👀
Surfskates are sooo fun. The problem is inventory is currently limited for most companies
@@concrete-waves then I better plan to get one in advance 😅thanks for the info!
I live in a small apartment in the 9th floor and taking a bike up and down and storing it in my room is a pain. So I bought a longboard and it’s a game changer. It’s so portable and convenient. Plus no need to lock it outside.
I have an Arbor Shakedown 34 hybrid board and I really love it for cruising around, but the problem is I find it too heavy for learning tricks as a newbie. I thought the hybrid would be the way to go because I love cruising on my longboard, but the weight just makes it really tough for tricks
i have been having no idea what board to get and this really helped because I just want to ride around so thanks
Awesome Jack, stoked to hear that!
When you looked into the lens and said, "You gotta make up your mind", it felt like you was talking to me personally, since I'm torn between 2 (coyote and the pilsner), and I just can't decide! 🤣
Great video again bud! Can't wait for the Coyote review!
Lol! Thanks for watching
you should review the santa cruz 29” cruiser board! also love the vids!
I have Santa Cruz on the list and thanks for watching! Appreciate it!
Cruising for me. I love exploring places.
I had no idea what does what. Thanks
great video! :)
Eu não sei porque o UA-cam me indicou esse vídeo, mas seu conteúdo é muito bom gostei!
Been debating a cruiser for a while now (I've skated a normal board on and off forever). I stuck the Ricta cloud 56mm 78a wheels on and its become a very durable board, great on crap terrain. Have you ever messed around with turning a regular board into a cruiser? I'm curious now how far I can push that and try to maintain all the fun features of a normal board while being able to use it for distance. New bearings next, but I'd be a little tempted to up the wheel size too and maybe get some truck risers
the new Carvers are out. i knew it would be March because that is when skateboards usually get released for ASR convention. They look pretty sweet
I've been finding longboarding to be more difficult than a cruiser with me being a beginner still. It was mainly because the flex in the longboard made me feel not as confident because it's more unstable. The cruiser I was able to get in no time. I'm 6'4" 225 lbs with a size 14 shoe so I think the width in the cruiser help that part of my stability and balance.
which cruiser did u start with? I just started and am really thinking about getting the arbor pilsner (sale rn too!)
Do you have a link for the cruiser you ended up buying?
@@amaritsu Google Magneto Pintail longboard
I like longboards because where I live is all mountain and roads. Iv been thinking about geting a mountainbord but I'm not shur yet
Do it, and slap a motor on it too!!!
Yessir! Love this video!
Ayyy appreciate the support Yegor!
Bought a skateboard a few months ago and now thinking about investing in a cruiser. Seems more like what I’m looking for, now to find it
great video !!! which skate do you recommend for snowboarding at home in the summer when there is no snow??? thank you
What would u recommend between a dinghy turbo, a tugboat and dugout? Looking something for normal cruising and size doesn’t rly matter tbh. Just wanna know wich one is the best. Love ur content btw:)
My man, when we gonna get some sweet merch on this channel?
Just got Zflex board appreciate the information on the cruiser 💯
Nice man! Happy to help
I'm 43 want to skate along a bike path near me. I'm going with a longboard. If I fall trying to do a kick flip my recovery time is triple from when I was younger. Great video it helped a lot.
Lol! Glad this vid helps 🤙🏼
Thank u thank u thank u! As a complete beginner (read: tabula rasa) this was great and veryyyy helpful💜
thank you i know now what i need
I was tired of running all the time so I bought a long board and took it out for the first time today.
awesome video.
next snakeboard or streetboard
Please tell me where u got your longboard ,And thanks for explaining I was so confused :)
That ending earned you a sub brother 😂
I have a longBoard, cruiserboard, and skateboard. Just started 3weeks ago.
Great video man as always!
Can you review the loaded coyote? i'd really like to know if you can use the coyote to do slides or freeride since it has RKPs
Thanks Alvaro. And, yup! Loaded Coyote review is dropping March 26
I have just bought a basic 8 x 31" skateboard. I have only ever cruised - used my board to commute around the neighbourboard from age 6 in the late 80s/90s The new board is really weird compared to my board in the late 80s as a small child (no rubber back for stopping) and just feels alien to me. As a kid, I found some boards to handle better - e.g. I like a loose one that moves a lot when I put my foot on it to turn. This one feels quite stiff. Odd thing to buy at my age, but just moved to a seaside town where they are popular for all ages/sexes. Perhaps a long board would be better - quite hard to carry about though. I want to use it to get around a busy seaside area/use buses. This one was on offer in a local shop. A really good price, respectable make and was an impulse buy. Just worried that the small wheels are going to fall to pieces, usually happens with roller boots if not fit for purpose.
