Thanks!

For cruising and light bombing a flexy deck will be fine. Flex feels great for mid-low speed carving and pumping. If you're planning on going faster though (over 30-35) or gripping corners you'll want something stiffer and harder bushings in your trucks. There are so many good decks out there. Stand on a bunch of them and get what your feet like. Your tastes will change the better you get. Check out the Silverfish longboard forum for all kinds of info and opinions.

I had an original pintail that was my first board and boy them shits can carve like a motherfucker especially for being a beginner at the time. Once I was used to it though I had the best times carving down small hills it honestly felt like surfing only on concrete your so low to the ground. Feels so freeing...

Right on, Colorado has a huge longboard (and racing) scene. All the Madrid riders are there. They make sick decks.

Op if you're looking to ride maybe go to zumiez at the mall and get a cheap complete skateboard and a cheap complete longboard. Maybe 125 give or take. I use to skateboard alot. I always loved skating fast and vert. Then when I got a longboard it was like why wasn't I doing this before. I can go way faster and cruising for long periods of time without pushing just enjoyingg the ride is pure bliss. 
 
If you get a longboard make sure you feel comfortable on it. Same with skateboard. Soft wheels grip better and ride smoother. Hard wheels slide better (if you're into that) and you feel the ground more.
 
As for skateboard decks go don't buy a 50-60 dollar board. You're paying for a brand name and a cool graphic. Don't buy a 10$ blank on Amazon either. Zumiez had some way nice 30ish dollar decks. Some brands are goodwood , think, mini logo
 
As for longboard decks don't over pay for a landyachtz. It's you're first board if you like it you'll upgrade later in life. 
 
Maybe post some links of some completes you like and  can tell you from there

 

Sector9 makes good longboards u can buy a complete or build your own, I've always enjoyed smaller boards, they're just more fun in general, to me at least. You can go as fast as you'd want to go on one, and easier to cruz and turn too.

Well I have been cruising for a couple years now. I currently only ride -original- longboards, IMO Best by far. But I started out on a sector nine downhill Board. Do not get one if your a beginner they're very fast and hard to handle I ate shit hard and often until I had caught up in ability to the board. Start out with a fishtail.

If you can, go to a local skate shop and ask around. I used to skate but i preferred cruising so i ended up going to longboards. Sector 9 is generic brand thats not a bad place to start. Landyachtz are pretty good too. If youve never longboarded go with a board thats large with large wheels, soft wheels. Thr bigger the board the more stable it is and thr more momentum you get which translates to less kicking.

 

Go to a local skate shop they should be willing to help you find what you need

Buy a real skateboard, they cruise much better because you can get up curbs without monkey grabbing and you can bomb hills just fine. Also you don't look like a dumbass.
 
Turning is not a trick, no matter how fast you're going.
 
This is coming from a man with 2 48" dancers and a DB lunchtray btw, I love longboarding but the scene is stupid as fuck, the riders are whack and a popsicle with soft wheels is a lot better for cruising.
