Why buy Longboards?
What size should I choose?
Boards range from 32 to 44 inches. Shorter boards (32–38 inches) are nimble for freestyle and commuting. Medium boards (38–42 inches) suit carving and cruising. Longer boards (42–44+ inches) excel at downhill and dancing.
How does flex impact the ride?
Flexy boards absorb vibration and provide lively carving, but can feel unstable at high speeds. Stiffer boards offer stability for downhill but less responsiveness. Choose flex based on your weight and desired ride feel.
What trucks and wheels should I get?
Reverse‑kingpin trucks enhance turning and stability, while standard trucks are better for tricks. Wheels larger than 70 mm roll smoothly and maintain speed; softer wheels (78A–83A) grip and cushion rough roads.
Are longboards good for beginners?
Yes. Their stability and forgiving ride help new skaters learn balance and turning. Pintail or drop‑through boards are particularly beginner-friendly.
Can I dance on a longboard?
Yes. Dancing requires a longer deck (42–46 inches) with a flat platform and mellow concave. Freestyle tricks may require double kicks for manuals and shuvits.
How do I stop on a longboard?
Use a foot brake—drag one foot gently on the ground—or learn sliding techniques like coleman slides to scrub speed. Drop‑through boards lower your centre of gravity, making foot braking easier.
How do I maintain my longboard?
Rotate wheels, clean and lubricate bearings, tighten hardware and avoid prolonged exposure to moisture. Re-grip the deck if needed and check trucks for worn bushings.
