Longboard wheels but https://www.amazon.com/MBS-All-Terrain-Longboard-Wheels/dp/B074G95LP5

Hey guys - new to longboarding! I recently picked this longboard
up and its alright. There's a weird rattling noise that happens when I want to loosen my trucks, but with tight trucks its completely fine. Any ideas?

Get either official Boosted belts or something like these ASAP: https://www.amazon.com/ROMP-Boosted-Board-2-Pack-Stealth/dp/B01MYT0TXN/ref=sr_1_9?keywords=Boosted+Board+belts&qid=1558373431&s=gateway&sr=8-9

Try to avoid riding with one belt, the boards are not designed to do that and you'll probably notice when breaking or turning that things can really easily get out of control.

It's probably one of these

I'm looking to buy a helmet. How does this one look? From what I can tell, it has all the required certifications, but just thought I'd get someone else's input:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0091PBLSK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

From left to right, the boards are the Tan Tien, Dervish Sama, Icarus, and the Boosted Board. Tan Tien and Dervish Sama are more of my cruising boards with the Icarus a carving board. I mostly ride the Dervish and my wife rides the Tan Tien (since it's smaller). Also bought and returned the Loaded Overland (didn't like it as much)

The stands are the guitar stands from Amazon mentioned here a lot. Here is the link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LBKFYUO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I tried out different trucks and wheels and found the orangatang 80a to be the best for me (same as on the Boosted Board). The 2 on the left have Caliber II trucks. I like the Caliber trucks since they spring back to neutral position quickly which is great for cruising and is very stable. The Icarus is meant for carving so it has looser Paris v2 trucks. I tried the 80mm Orangatang Kegal wheels on these boards and always managed to get wheelbite (and thus crashing) so I went with 70mm wheels and can ride without worrying

Nose and tail guards also from Amazon. Highly recommended as these went flying into the curb a few times and no damage to the board: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XGJ8PHM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s03?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Hope this helps!

I'm getting into longboarding now that all of my friends are; however, I currently do not own a long board. My friend has an extra one that I have been borrowing, the Quest Super Cruiser 44". I like how easily this board can turn, but dislike the size of it.
The two I'm currently looking into are the White Wave Rocket and the White Wave Missile which seem to have nice quality for a good price.
My only issue is I am not sure which one to go for. The main difference seems to be the length (31.5" vs 28") and the trucks (180mm vs 5").

Just curious on opinions/advice for a longboarding newbie.

Order these bearings instead. Better than stock and the same price:

Boosted Board Ceramic Bearing Upgrade Service Kit by ACER Racing (V2) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MYG7WT0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_82BGAbWY8JCA7

https://www.amazon.com/TSG-XTHAFFPSSXL-Pass-Helmet/dp/B00LGZGYGM

Any santa cruz complete is pretty solid, if you get a 26-29in deck, it'll be slightly smaller than a normal deck, and still maintain the cruiser appeal.

You don’t necessarily need a skate tool, you could use a socket wrench to take the wheel off. But having a tool will be very handy. I’m not sure what brand is the best, I have one similar to this one and it gets the job done

No but what I did was bought this bag
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HB89Y7P/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_DzoACbWBKY9PC

And then these bungees
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AHV3DMO?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

And tied 4 to the front of the bag so you can wrap top and bottom support around all the wheels/trucks and it holds it right in place and doesn’t move either.

i bought my first ever board like 3 weeks ago so i have no idea whats on it

its this one.

Thanks for the tips!

I love this one. Been using it for months with no issues

Hey, I've boarding on a pennyboard for four years as a way to get around a small campus.

Right now, I think that I'll need a faster board to get to school which around 4.5 miles away. It'll also be nice if it's good dancing board.

By the way, my friend got one of these and I'm wondering if this one is okay for what I need.

There is another way to try!

It's getting a little more popular with a lot of people who started out in the same boat as you. You're doing great, and you've tried to help your pup in so many ways, don't feel bad about this at all :)

So essentially we can teach your dog to dremel her own nails.

You'll want to get some grip tape (the tape that goes on the top of a skateboard, here is a link), and put it on a sturdy clipboard.

Then you're going to teach your dog to paw/dig on command. To do this, put a treat under a towel, and kind of hold the towel down while encouraging her to try to get the treat. After nosing it for a minute, she should get frustrated enough to try pawing at it. Yes! Reward vigorously. Repeat until it's pretty reliable/she's figured out that you want her to use her paws. Then remove the towel, put the treat on the clipboard, and only cover with your hand. When she scrapes her nails on the sandpaper like tape, reward reward reward!

Make sure you're only rewarding for good nail scrapes, not rubbing the pads of her paws on it. Then you can move on to different feet (the back ones can be very difficult. Some dogs pick it up pretty easy. One dog I actually had to teach to leap off the board so he'd wear down his back nails.)

Keep an eye on the nails to make sure she's not scraping them too short, and voila! No clippers are involved, instead there's only the happy treat-time clipboard!

Don't forget your safety gear.

Have fun


EDIT: One think I forgot to mention in hindsight I think learning on a board using mediocre bearings and whatnot is good.

The first time I bombed a hill using a Landyachtz with non-shit hardware I think I quite literally said "holy fuck this is fast!"

I wasn't skilled enough for that board....

A few moments later I was on my ass.

Hello Reddit, I'm moving to a home about a mile away from the subway soon and decided instead of catching the bus that I'll get a longboard a ride instead. I'm a newbie when it comes to this so I just want to be steered in the right direction. I'm looking into these decks right now from Amazon, what do you all think? Should I look into a specific brand? What's decent for cruising? Sorry for all the questions, just want to make a good decision. I don't want to exceed 150 dollars on the deck and accessories.

Ride on buddies. Appreciate any help <3

There's probably vids on YouTube for what's acceptable noise and change noises. I have been running stock bearings on the drive wheels and zealous on front for over 600mi on the v1 and about 200 mi on the v2. Put them in when I got the boards and haven't changed since.

Hi there, I have always wanted to get into longboarding but never had the money to pay for one. Recently though, I was looking online and came across this longboard: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B008EZNY4W/?tag=beginner-longboards-20. I eventually want to get into dancing but at the same time I don't want to have to buy another one later on, should I just spend more money and get a landyachtz (as suggested by my local skate shop) or should I make this purchase? Any help would be great, thanks!

I had this same question a couple weeks ago. Here’s the feedback I got:

https://www.reddit.com/r/ElectricUnicycle/comments/d4lnw9/any_specific_brandmodel_protective_gear

All solid suggestions I think. I ended up ordering Flexmeters (wrist guards), and the knee and elbow Fox D3O pads and the Fox Defender gloves.

The gloves are some of my favorite ever. And the elbow pads are solid. The knee pads are tight and hot though. Pretty uncomfortable and a challenge to get on and off.

I had ordered the JBM Adult Protective Gear Set for Biking, Riding, Cycling and Multi Sports and after just a few outings those actually break in really nice and are very comfortable. $20 for a full set of comfortable gear; can’t beat that. And I’ve gone down at low speed in them several times, so they seem to do the trick.

I also ordered Leatt EXT knee/shin pads because they don’t have a “sock” design, so I can easily wear them over jeans.

Finally (other than helmets) I’ve got some wrist-guards I got for free from eWheels with my EUC and those actually ended up being my favorite so far. You can buy them separately for $19. I like them so much because I don’t have to take off my Apple Watch when I wear them. Which means I can use apps that show me speed, battery, etc. As well as just being all around convenient.

The Flexmeters seem like good kit. And they’re very comfortable. But they’re also long and feel like they probably conflict with longer elbow pads like the Fox pads.

Buttom line, T-Shirt and Shorts gear for me is JBM pads + eWheels wrist guards + helmet. Swap in the Leatt knee/shin pads if I’m wearing pants. And I’d probably throw on the Fox elbow pads instead of the JBM try to fit the Flexmeters if I felt like I was gonna be pushing it. And in the winter I’d wear an armored jacket instead of elbow pads.

I'm looking for a deck to replace the one on this Amazon board I use: Quest Super Cruiser Artisan Bamboo Longboard Skateboard, 44" https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008EZNY4W/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_6N2OzbZ1A890D

The deck that came with it is stiff and heavy, I'm looking for one that's light and has a some flex to it so I can make tighter turns and eventually do some tricks. Are there any (preferably drop through) decks with two kicktails that are less than $80?

oh no, I use a bash guard similar to these to protect the ends when i pick it up or drag it

Large arms and legs here.

For knee pads I used Deadbolts XL for awhile, but they twisted a lot and I was afraid of landing on my knee. I now just switched to the S1 knee pads in 2xl and honestly I could go down to an XL but luckily their straps are adjustable as they stretch out over time.



For elbow and wrist I use this set from amazon: https://www.amazon.com/JBM-international-Adult-Guards-Protective/dp/B00GG7AYLG/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1521169840&sr=8-3&keywords=jbm%2Bpads&dpID=51mZntlwyeL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch&th=1&psc=1
The wrist guards have saved my wrists multiple times and the elbow pads work fine. The straps on the elbow pads are long enough but I added in an inch or so of fabric to the sleeve for comfort, although they were wearable before.

Yo this is such good advice! I have a Maestro as well, and the first couple major dings really stung, and I was pretty bummed. But it ultimately still rides the same, and I would rather have taken the hits and had fun than been all dainty all the time. That being said, I have reglued delams, DIY'd fiberglass and epoxy wrapped around the edges, nose, and tail... there's stuff like this https://www.amazon.com/Skateboard-Longboard-Nose-Guard-Black/dp/B06XGJ8PHM/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1520644901&sr=8-2-spons&keywords=longboard+nose+and+tail+guard&psc=1 never tried it because it looks like it would get in the way more than anything, but it exists.. At the end of the day, boards get torn up, best to just accept it for what it is and have a blast.

tandem axle

I'm looking to start skateboarding. I am 31 years old, never skateboarded before but I want to start. I'm not looking to do crazy tricks or anything like that I just want to cruise around the city.

With that in mind does this http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001L8LZOA look like a good beginner setup for hopping from the office to get lunch etc?

what you want is this

And I'll have you know that the lube Zealous uses is over $5 an oz, where as bones is probably cents.

I'm new to skate/longboarding and was thinking of getting something cheap-ish to cruiese around on. Would anyone have any recommendations? I was hoping to get something around $50-75 and around 30" or so.

Also, any opinion on this Quest Cruiser I found on amazon? It seems like something I might like. Thanks a bunch!

Haha, they're great. Sliding around really makes you feel like a boss.

If you're truly interested, I bought mine here. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00GG7AYLG/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I'm really confused with this comment... I got the same skate tool with my stealth and my Mini X. It has the hex key (the stick), the L shaped smaller hex key, and the third (larger) piece that the stick is housed in. The larger piece has 2 hex sockets, one on each end... and it fits the wheel nut perfectly. THe larger (other) side of it fits the kingpin nut perfectly. The little L shaped hex key fits the brackets for wheel cover's 2 screws.


The setup was identical on both boards. It comes with everything you need to change the wheels and the belts. The stealth even came with spare belts, though my Mini X did not. Hit me up if you have questions brother, you should be good to go for changing out the wheels.


Also:


If you want to buy the same exact tool that they advertise the process with on their videos:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000RUBY1C/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Grab the 3mm and 4mm version and also one of these:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072LY5824/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

​

The quality on all of those is fantastic. Lastly, I highly recommend a bit of Frog Lube paste for your pivot cup and bushings, just a very thin coat will lubricate your trucks for buttery smooth turns, and it smells like wintergreen lifesavers. :)

​

Yes, I know what Froglube was made for, it also happens to be a perfect product for skate applications LOL. Active duty Marine, had a lot in stock and needed a basic lubricant for those pivot cups. It was like the stuff was made for this!

Oh yeah, you're right, not certified. I did get a certified version, which is cheaper even http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0091PBLSK?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage

It's 44, here. It does DH alright, and I can slide fine, but I want to get a dedicated board, and keep that one for cruising and dancing.

I just got into longboarding a few weeks ago, my girlfriend tried to get me into pennyboarding but my feet are too damn big, so she bought me this board as a gift and I immediately fell in love with riding. It's a cheap board and I expected it to ride like a cheap board, but I didn't expect to outgrow it quite this fast.

I lose so much speed so fast and rocky/uneven pavement is a nuisance on extended rides. I know I can correct both of those by getting new bearings and wheels, but I'm honestly not sure where to start when it comes to shopping for them. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

As for just getting a new board - I actually really love the size of the board - it's small enough that I'd be perfectly okay riding it around my college campus every day and taking into class with me.

http://www.amazon.com/Skateboard-Grip-Sheet-Black-BUBBLE/dp/B002E0B2BK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1319933794&sr=8-1

maybe something like this. although its like sandpaper and wont come off easily. i've done this once. I cut a small reallly small line/blob and added it to the right button. Along the corner. so it would catch my fingers if it slipped or i could just press it w/o slipping.

use really good scissors and i wouldnt recommend covering the entire button as it is very rough.

Because most airlines consider it an "oversized" item and require it be checked.
Speaking very generally, generally, airlines require anything outside 22x14x9 be checked.
TSA has seen enough of them come through that at least one agent will know what it is and that it's allowed. Sometimes they open the bag and swab the board. Don't ask me why...
I've carried mine on with me many times using the case below. It's a great way to get out and see a new city. Burbank, CA was great on the BB. Washington DC was a mix of intolerant and bewildered by it.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00Y8T0XR4/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_api_mkprxb9AJ9J30

Same broseph. I roll around town on a longboard for sanity.

Because I bought a BB for equal parts coolness to transportation ability, I'd honestly say that the best way to go is a TSG Pass because it's comprised of equal parts coolness factor and protection ability.

Is this it perhaps? ( https://www.amazon.com/Santa-Cruz-Powerply-Complete-Skateboard/dp/B001L8LZOA ) If not, can you send me a link of where you bought yours? Thanks!

They even raised the price on this piece of shit. It was $50.00 two years ago

Pads I've really liked these for the value.

Thanks!

I'm looking at getting into longboarding - my budget is about $150 CDN. Literally just to get to the coffee shop about a 15 minute walk from my house but I'm sick of walking. I have no intentions of using it other than to get to places around town. I was looking at this - https://www.amazon.ca/Atom-Drop-Deck-Longboard-41-Inch/dp/B0056IXSEQ/ref=pd_bxgy_468_img_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=5EMPK7BPXMX9225DSWJR

After browsing this subreddit it appears people fucking despise Atom. I weigh literally nothing (102lbs) any advice would be greatly appreciated. (Preferably purchase off Amazon as my local skate shop only has boards for $400+)

I posted this towards the end of the last daily thread, so maybe I'll get more responses here.

I want to give longboarding a shot (used to skate back in junior high), but I don't want to spend too much. How much should I be spending on my first longboard? Is something like this good enough?
http://www.amazon.com/Atom-Longboards-Through-Longboard-40-Inch/dp/B00M3IIGJE/

/u/buffitout suggested I build my own, and gave me some good advice, so I might go that route.

Ordered the Churchill Kray (Freeride option)! :)

Thanks for the help!

Push start a first few times if you have to. Lean forward when hitting the throttle, lean back when braking. Also, wear your gear, if you're a new rider like me.


These JBM knee, wrist, elbow pad kit has already saved me plenty of skin for just 25 bucks.

Sure, I do feel a bit awkward wearing this around in this beach town where almost NO one wears safety gear, but in the end, after a couple of holes in my pants and a busted knee already, I'm sticking to wearing them until I get a 100% confident.

I have this one. It's great, just wish it had a little more room. It's really comfortable.

These have worked well for me.

Depending on the thickness of the board, you may need to loosen them up or tighten them before applying. To avoid scratches and grooves, I’d open them up a little, make sure they’re on straight, then squeeze them tight. They’re made up of flexible metal segments under a rubber casing, so shaping them is sort of like bending stiff wire.

They are a little shapeable, so they’ll fit most designs with a little bending/molding.

I was recommended this board:

Hey Guys so I'm completely new to longboarding, and I am excited to try it out, I had a few questions on which board I should get. Amazon has a 44 inch Quest Super Cruiser that I'm thinking about getting, but I read some of these comments and some of you guys recommend getting something smaller. So should I get a 44 inch or 34 inch?
(Here's the board I'm thinking of getting, http://www.amazon.com/Quest-Cruiser-Artisan-Longboard-Skateboard/dp/B008EZNY4W/ref=sr_1_1?s=action-sports&ie=UTF8&qid=1425448111&sr=1-1&keywords=longboard)

Removed some of the spacers to get it a bit lower and gottne the bearings running nice. It's a heavy board but all can really justify for this trip, as a above I've got enough time to walk the entire way if needed.

Is this long good for beginners?.
I only skated once in my life and I'm looking to start longboarding (Just riding in the beachside or maybe going to school or something)

Hello, awesome folks, I need help picking out trucks/wheels.

I'm 6'5" and 250ish lbs (down from 320, woo hoo!), goal is 220 lbs. (size 14 shoes)

I skated in my teens, until I broke my board (and leg), then never replaced it.

Just started skating again a couple weeks ago, and I've been commuting on this board, which I later found out, /r/longboarding have listed on the "DO NOT BUY" list. Whoops!

I'm ready to commit, and spend some dough, but I want to be able to practice doing some tricks. I think I'm going to get this board now.

WANT: Be able to cruise hills a bit, for commuting home, and be able to practice beginner tricks (never landed an ollie in my life, time to change that!). I'm not sure what truck setup, and wheel size, I should get.

NEED: Wheel (size and hardness) and trucks (style and size) suggestions for this 41" x 9.6" beast

P.S.- Am I going to need some aftermarket bushings for my heavy ass?

I'm selling this longboard. I've only been on it a few times and came to the realization that its not meant to be. This means it does have some very minor scuffs. Not sure about price but I'm definitely open to offers.

You'd look awfully out of place with those work gloves on... I tried riding with my motorcycle gloves once, but they were too bulky to work the trigger comfortably (and they aren't even bulky gloves.) I'm sure you'd have the same issue with the leather ones. Leather gloves, in my experience, are very constricting. Maybe get a pair of wrist guards with the plastic protective part for the palm.

I got this cheap set of pads when I was starting out, and the wrist guards kept me for ripping my hands up when I discovered what wheel bite was. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00GG7AYLG/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1475276005&sr=1-1&pi=SX200_QL40&keywords=jbm+set&dpPl=1&dpID=41s9sKJn4-L&ref=plSrch

Edit: I forgot to mention.. they may look silly (or you might think they do), but they work well. They allow you to work a remote reasonably well, and keep you from having to deal with the pain of scraped hands and broken wrists.

If I were you I would pick this up as well https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B016U4R6II/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 As of now i use just the wrist guards, as I wear a riding vest and jeans

the wrist guards are amazing though, they have saved my palms and my wrists so many times.

I'm new here, and I was checking out the wiki. Does anybody have the images from "Hi kids, I'm a deck!"? The photobucket images that the wiki links to are broken. Thanks!

EDIT: I'm looking at this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B008EZNY4W/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1499181683&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=quest+44+longboard&dpPl=1&dpID=414JEqVb6ML&ref=plSrch
As my first board. The wiki says Quest is a brand to avoid, but it also doesn't give any reason. I've read reviews online that say this is a good board, am I being duped?

If you want it to be more grippy, you can try Skateboard grip tape.

Thanks for your input, but I'm really not looking to learn all of this stuff. I really just want to get a decent board online or somethin', fully setup, and be done. Sorry if I sound ignorant, but I just wanna get somethin' good and be done.

I'm thinking of picking up one out of these:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008EZNY4W/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NR4MCUW/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=

http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B008EZNYOW/ref=dp_olp_used?ie=UTF8&condition=used

Which would ya say is the best in terms of durability, stability, and handling. I'm really looking for something that can make swift turns, pick up speed, and be stable.

Sorry that I'm incredibly uninformed on how all this works. But I really just wanna pick up a solid, decent board that can do those things.

Also, my neighborhood has some rocky, bad roads, sometimes. Sometimes its solid, sometimes its jagged. Which one of those boards above can keep up with it while still being stable?

If those can't do the job, could you link something that could thats >100$?

Best complete longboard for under $200?

What's the best quality longboard that will get me some skater cred, I longboarded for over 3 years using $20-30 pawns shop boards, over 6 miles a day usually, I finally got out of high school and into the work feild and I wonder what a decent longboard is like.


My favorite cheap longboard was a drop deck like this Atom board:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0056IXSEQ/ref=chk_gwtyp_product?smid=&psc=1

I really like the stability and decent turning radius, it is for a semi urban areas with really kinda shitty roads and sidewalks, mainly for comfortable cruising from destination to destination.

I'll be buying today and would be happy to post a follow up review if you're curious.

It's the Triple 8 Dual Certified Gun Matte Helmet. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0091PBLSK?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

Yeah, I've read a few things where people were suggesting full face helmets like https://www.amazon.com/TSG-XTHAFFPSSXL-Pass-Helmet/dp/B00LGZGYGM

and motorcycle jackets, or some kinda body armor thing

Hows this for my first longboard, with these bearings?

I have $80 in Amazon gift cards to buy a first longboard for a birthday present for my girlfriend. Just looking for something nice and easy to cruse with. Can anyone point me in the right direction as to what to get? Heres what I've picked out so far. Which of these looks best?

Open to any other suggestions. I know $80 isnt going to get me much, but its really all I can spare right now. Thanks guys and gals

I'm looking to buy a new board but have no clue what to look for. I really like this but don't know what brand's to look at and I don't want to buy something low quality. I'm looking to get something between 100-200$ and suggestions are appreciated!

Thanks for the guide. I wish I had come to this sub before purchasing my first board.

I picked up a cheap Quest Board from amazon. For the price I cant complain I guess. I just wanted something cheap to learn and cruise around on. After a week I started to feel like the board was too unstable, but after tightening up the trucks a bit it really helped. I'll probably ride this for a while until I feel the need for something better.

https://www.amazon.com/Triple-Eight-Certified-Skateboard-X-Large/dp/B0091PBLSK

Both CPSC and ASTM F1492 certified. Google ASTM F1492 certification. It's more rigorous than CPSC and must be tested and rated for multiple impacts.

It was actually really cheap, only $60 for the complete.

Edit: It's this exact board, but when I got it back in August I only paid $60.

Hey everyone,

I'm going to be 33 this year. Big boy, former ASU football player, and have NEVER rode a skateboard. My 13 year old daughter seemed to learn pretty quick on the longboard we got her and I'd love to skate with her, so I have a few questions:

1: I know this is probably a dumb idea, but how do I minimize injury as much as possible?
2: A board that will handle my frame? I'm 6'5 260 with a size 15 foot.
3: lastly, my daughters board is too big and she wants a cruiser to ride to highschool. We bought her this to learn on: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008EZNY4W/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_api_vZOqxb0WB496E and she wants to replace it with a better cruiser type board, something a bit smaller as her commute will be about 1.5 miles each way.

Thank you!

I saw some dude on youtube and he had this bag!
http://www.amazon.com/Boosted-Board-Skateboard-Custom-Travel/dp/B00Y8T0XR4/ref=sr_1_1?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1462910545&sr=1-1&keywords=boosted+board+bag

You mean [this] (https://www.amazon.com/Zealous-Bearings-Longboards-Skateboards/dp/B00BL9VCRE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1467839120&sr=8-1&keywords=zealous+bearings)? Whoa there is a built-in spacer as well.

So I got this long board to go down light hills and really i just want to know what you guys think of it as a beginner board.This one

Hey I'm making a decision between this and this and I want either or I'm planning to get a stable cruising and downhill board for riding distance too so are either of these good for being stable, medium distance cruising, and downhill? The reviews are mixed so I need a few more opinions

Most people tend to suggest this one here
But personally I prefer the rifle cases way more and will be getting this one as soon as I get my V2!

I'm looking to buy a longboard for the first time and I want to spend under $100. The two boards I've been looking at are:

The Quest Super Cruiser

And The Yocaher Professional Drop Down

Which one would be better for a beginner? I'm also open to other suggestions if you think another board would work better for me.

Be warned: I bought the conversion kit thinking it would work with these MBS all-terrain wheels... it does not.

https://www.amazon.com/MBS-All-Terrain-Longboard-Wheels/dp/B074G95LP5

Apparently it previously did, but MBS changed their core design. I was advised by SR that I can make the conversion kit pulleys fit by slightly filing down the pieces that fit into the wheel core) but I assume that might make it an insecure fit for their wheels such as the Foamies.

I was riding this before the Shrike. I've noticed the board is a lot smoother to ride, I can go faster for longer off of one push, and I can actually manage pumping this board to maintain speed. The added length and concave also makes me feel more stable.

Hey I bought it on amazon. Here’s the link:

https://www.amazon.com/Max-Pro-Skateboard-Protector-Longboard-Protection/dp/B077CQBC33/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=longboard+guard&qid=1550619680&s=gateway&sr=8-3

Or this. This is much more durable than Evolve's

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HB89Y7P/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_U_x_yek7Bb6YEK77B

Thanks for watching! Yeah, the boosted board is definitely a good beginner board but the price makes it a big investment. I assume most beginners would look for something cheaper. The bash protectors are the "Skateboard Deck Guards" link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077CQBC33?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf. I've had the back one slide off a bit so I hope they last.

Hey all, newbie here! I've been trying to learn how to pivot for a month or so I would say, and I don't think I've gotten anywhere.

​

I feel like part of the problem might be my board. I'm not trying to blame my materials instead of my obvious deficiency of course, but I can't help thinking about it. Currently I have the Quest Super Cruiser. It weighs 10 lbs and the wheels have a durometer of 80A.

I have a really old, crappy skateboard that I can do a pivot on with relative ease, which I guess isn't surprising as it's much shorter and lighter. But I also tried my friend's board briefly the other day and I felt like it was much easier to pivot (still couldn't manage it all the way). Her wheels were definitely harder (85A).

​

I looked up lists of longboards other people recommend for freestyle, and they were all around 7 and a half pounds, except they had a tad softer wheels. I'm pretty confused at this point.

​

I looked at a YouTuber I watch's set up video, and I think I know now that I want 85A wheels. Would this solve the problem though? I'm also aware that the pintail-ish shape isn't ideal for this style, but I hadn't done enough research when I first bought it. So would getting a different shape help too? Would it be worth it?

​

So, what's the main issue here? The wheels, the shape, the weight, all of the above, something I'm overlooking, or just not enough practice?

Edit: Thanks everyone! I managed to get it down :-)

I have one from Obed that it really like but wrecked the back of my jeans with the grip tape.

It's very similar to this.

https://www.amazon.com/Hubro-Designs-Boosted-Longboard-Backpack/dp/B07HB89Y7P

I ordered some of these: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B01MYG7WT0/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_FJIvCbWT2RQRG

does anyone have experience with that brand?

​

Also, some new axle nuts according to this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/longboarding/comments/16ryx6/getting_cheap_and_custom_mounting_hardware_from/

I've read about people using this one and I'm actually considering it for myself. However, I don't plan on traveling with my board much so let us know if you find something cheaper. https://www.amazon.com/Boosted-Board-Skateboard-Custom-Travel/dp/B00Y8T0XR4

Hey guys, I am looking for a cruiser board.
I have minimal experience with skateboarding (I can ride them, but can't really do tricks).
I was mostly interested in using a skateboard as a transportation tool (can't stand riding on my old skateboard in surfaces that are not flat) and thought of getting a cruiser.

I am pretty tall (6'3) so I am not looking for a small board.
I searched amazon and thought about buying this ['quest' board](
https://www.amazon.com/Quest-Rorshack-Longboard-Skateboard-34-Inch/dp/B008EZNXHA/ref=sr_1_4?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1537541804&sr=1-4&keywords=cruiser+board)

Could anyone recommend this one for a newbie?
It's a 34 inch long board. will it fit me well?

(already got some bad comments on the quest board. but I would like to hear more opinions / alternative boards in the $60 range if possible

Thanks! :D And aren't they only like $15?

I'm looking to learn how to ride, I don't want to spend much on my first board until after I've learned. I've found this used board on craigslist and this new one off amazon.

If you guys could let me know if these are good deals and what I should look for when I go to see the used board in person that would be awesome!

Well it's a bit expensive.

i have the carver cx truck on, but the tandem is a kit that can be mounted on any trucks. https://www.amazon.com/Black-Tandem-Skateboard-Cruiser-Longboard/dp/B01IKLAGYA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1480326251&sr=8-1&keywords=longboard+tandem

These wrist guards are the ones I use and you still have control of the remote. I do however wish the battery percentage was in the top left instead of right, because even without wrist guards it gets covered up with my hand, and to me I'd rather know my battery percent over what mode I'm in.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B016U4R6II/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_Li5hybGXQQ0MG

just get one of these

Looking at getting into longboarding and eyeing an Atom Complete drop through longboard on Amazon for $117. Would there be any quality difference between that and $150 complete longboard at the local Van’s store? Link below to the Atom.

Hi guys. I've been convinced to pick up a full face helmet for longboarding and I'm wondering whether I'd be able to use it for snowboarding as well? It's a TSG Pass. I'd wear it without goggles as it has a visor. Does she shape, visor, hardshell fibreglass or anything else make it not viable for snowboarding? I can't see anything that would stop me from using it to snowboard.

Thanks.

Yeah, I'm just going to buy new ones. Never heard of Zealous before.

No need for the inner or out washers or anything??

So I've never longboarded before. My friend let me try it this past week and I have to say, it's more fun the riding my bike. However, I know absolutely nothing about buying a longboard. I just went on amazon to see what kind of longboards there were. I saw a few that looked ok and were relatively cheap

Could anyone tell me if these are any good or if I should be looking somewhere else to buy a longboard?

Went ahead and ordered some so I'd have something when the board gets here on Wednesday. Went https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01K47RVSC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_6FTvyb0GMVAEV for the helmet and https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GG7AYLG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_uHTvybZ125X37 for knee/elbow/wrist.

Went with a lower cost option because the reviews from the low end all the way to the top seemed pretty mixed. I'll let you guys know how it all works later in the week if I can get some decent weather to try it all out!

I linked this recently. The last picture is with the all terrain tires. I recommend getting it on Amazon over eBay so you can grab the warranty. He also lists a different drive gear kit, I'll link the other one. You could also mount it on a different deck. The one big drawback is the single motor.

I'm running MBS 100mm wheels on mine and I love it. Those wheels are better suited to higher speed in uneven surfaces due to convex profile. Less effective in carving perfectly smooth surfaces than Kegel, but in speeds around 20mph MBS wheels feel great. The top speed is around 26mph with a hit on accel and brake distance. I got used to it.

I've had this board forever, way more fun than a penny in my opinion.

Hey all! I've been wanting to get into something new and recently my interest in skateboarding kicked in. I've always wanted to do it, but couldn't, due to where I lived. Anyways this community seems awesome, and a longboard seems to be just what I'm looking for (just something to go to school with, go to the gym/nearby restaurants/cruise around town for fun) but I'd like some help. I've researched a little, and have narrowed down my options into these two (tho certainly I would take recommendations - only thing is I'm on a tight budget) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008EZNXHA/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER, and https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076VTZK6H/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

The 44 inch one (2nd) seems to be great, according to the videos and reviews I've checked on it, while people claim that the 34 inch (1st) can use a change of wheels. The thing is, I do want something that's more on the portable side, and I've never seen a 44 inch longboard (or any longboard actually) in my life, so I don't know just how tall that is, but I'm assuming it's not very easy to carry around? As compared to the 34 inch one atleast.

Sorry for the all over the place message, I'm too excited and also too sleepy. Would appreciate any insight anyways. Thanks!!

Ahh I was looking to get the Ninebot Max though I ended up getting a nanrobot D3 since I was too impatient to wait for the crowd funding thing to end and them send out the units. Looks great tho, enjoy it!

I was looking for transportation that didn't require too much maintenance or storage for work. I (impulsively) settled on this Quest 44" board today.

I have 0 experience riding anything like this, but I figured youtube and safety gear have me covered

I feel like I should leave something here for discussion, but I'm just super pumped and felt like sharing (and didn't feel like junking up your sub with a "my first xyz!" post)

I also have a metroboard slim 41"/15mile on order. Hoping to get some input from others on cases for flight travel. I am looking at this boostedboard case here.

Any other suggestions?

Here is the mobile version of your link

This is my board

Yea was just taking a look. But it seems quite a few have vouched for the website. So, I think its a safe bet I was looking at this

Would this board be good for a begginer? http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B008EZNY4W/ref=redir_mdp_mobile/185-9498181-1591549?ref_=sr

Figured, but this looked okay: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008EZNY4W. Not seeing much by Funbox.

I bought a ROMP Belt on Amazon about a month ago. Can you verify if this listing is yours? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MYT0TXN/

Any suggestions for bash guards or tail guards? I found some on Amazon:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077CQBC33/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

but wondering if there are any other options to consider. gonna likely get one for my Kut-thaka and even my Tarab but not sure if having one will make beginner level free style(for the Tarab's case) difficult. I just wanna take as much care for these decks as I can

Okay so I have a lot of questions... I'm sorry in advance, I'm really new to this.

I live in a fairly hilly town so power is a must. I'm looking for a dual motor setup with at least a 10-12 mile range. Some parts I picked already are listed below. All Except the trucks are subject to change. I'm going for a white primary with gold accents theme.

If I were to set up a dual motor board
• Which motor mount should I buy?
• Is this MOTOR the best one on the market for its price right now? I'm looking for crazy power! :)
• Which motor pulley do I need for a dual motor setup?
• What electronics do I need to run this setup?
• Where can I find a frame to hold the 18650's and electronics?
• How do you wire these things? I'm honestly just shooting in the dark here...

I already have the board , bearings , remote , and trucks picked out.

If you have any suggestions, please please feel free to add them.
I feel like I'm missing something here...

I own a 3D printer so if there are any extra casings that I need I can just print it.

I appreciate all your help!

EDIT:
Willing to provide compensation or barter for someone to source all these parts and manuals for me

I kind of want this even though it wouldn't really do anything.

I like this set a lot. They're comfortable and still offer a good amount of room. (Also not bad on the wallet)

Sorry wish I knew more about helmets, I think I bought mine from a sports store. I'll leave that topic up to the other newskaters :)

Hey awesome, thanks for breaking that down for me =D

I ended up buying these because people in the comments were saying they worked and you know... Amazon prime lol. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MYT0TXN/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Currently rocking these.

as far as a helmet I got a simple Bell helmet from Target.

Day 1: No falls however I did have to bail after riding over a speed bump too fast.

Leaving this here in case anyone needs a more accessible option:

Hi! I'm a beginner and I'm shopping for my first board. I have an Amazon gift card so I'm kinda limited to just Amazon boards. I was pretty set on picking up the Quest Super Cruiser and some Zealous bearings because basically every beginner picks this board up to learn longboarding and the bearings would replace the standard crappy ones, but I just found this new board on Amazon called the Quest Super Cruiser Remix (basically a shorter version of the original Quest board). I can't find that many reviews online about it, but it's shorter (i'm on a college campus with tons of pedestrians so this would be a huge plus), and has a sick design (I love blue lol). Any thoughts on the board? Should I get the original black Quest 44" or opt for this "Remix" at 36"?

I had a crappy board made by some generic brand. The board looked like this https://www.amazon.com/Atom-Drop-Deck-Longboard-41-Inch/dp/B0056IXSEQ. It didn’t flex under my feet at all and I think it was way to big and heavy for me when I had it “I was like 5 foot 4 weighing only 90 pounds or so at the time”. And I am willing to pitch in a bit and spend more for a helmet. I don’t know much about brands for the boards but I do know that sector 9 has some really nice looking boards.
