I am debating between either getting a long board or a regular skateboard and want opinions. a regular skateboard would be nice cuz i could learn how to skate better (right now all i know how to do is ollie)..but on the other hand the long board is awesome for cruisin around plus, in my town theres some pretty shitty roads that a long board could handle but they're too tore up for a normal board..so what are your opinons my fellow blades?
unless you wanna learn tricks get a long board. love cruising smoking a jay or something on a long board sweeeeeeeeeeeeet
Dude longboard all the way! nothing better than getting stoned and cruzing down a huge hill on a longboard! In fact i might go do that now..
hahaha that sounds pretty awesome..and the place where i'm gonna be living does have a huge hill right near it haha..hmm..
Do it dude! i skate, longboard, snowboard, and freeboard, but id have to say out of all of them weed goes best with longboarding... haha just avoid cars
ha! funny you should say that cuz the huge hill flows into an intersection..but i think it wouldnt be too much of a problem..now i gotta start savin up for a decent long board..haha no herb money for awhile..how much should i be expecting to spend?
It really depend on how nice of a board you want... You can get complete boards for around 100, probably even cheaper if you look. The real nice ones like Sector 9 or Arbor can go up to $250... I just have a blank board with some nice trucks. Nothing expensive, and it gets the job done nicely! I got mine for like 40 bucks from a friend and it was pretty new wen i got it.
i do both, been skating trick-wise for like 9 years, just picked up longboarding more recently, and it is AWESOME. just love taking lonngg rides on summer nights.. get that joint going too, so good.
I cruise the long board and love it... If you are looking at getting something nice check out Loaded Long Boards, they ride better than anything i've ridden. I have a vanguard but the dervish looks like a nice ride as well.
i just sold my skateboard and started longboarding more. cruising goes way better when I'm high. especially with my big headphones over my ears.
sector 9 makes these double/dual axle boards( sidewinders trucks) they turn SOOOO tight, ride so smooth, like honey.... get one. but also try a board wth a kicktail, vs one without i've had my sector 9 since 2002, still in great condition, i love it
you can cruise on a normal board. I do it all the time, and plus you can do tricks while cruising. bomb a hill smoke a jay then ollie up the curb and tre bomb a 7 set. Works just like that.
ahh i was away from the city for a bit sorry haha..anyways, i'm hoping to be able to get a longboard sometime soon (saving up) right now i'm borrowing my friends normal board to skate around on and have been working on the basics (ollie, ollie 180, ollie-ing on to and over stuff) it's awesome so far been at it for a little less than a week and i've already scraped up my knee a bit..didnt quite stick an ollie 180 off this curb..and have also had the cops called on me hahaha
regular board, hook-ups deck 1990's? i think but just wanted to pitch in, Riviera make good long boards, Riviera Longboards
