  • ok someone PLEASE tell me, HOW FAST can this board get before wobbling out of control?

  • @MooneYoungBlood 90 percent of that is determined by your skill. 10 percent of that is determined by the tightest of your trucks, and hardness of your bushings. Tighter trucks + harder bushing = less turn = less speed wobbles. But honestly, it all comes down to your skill and balance. Nobody can answer this question for you. I could take it up to 35. Some maybe 25. Depends.

  • @MooneYoungBlood You can take it up to high speeds with a carvy set up if you have experience. Speed wobbles is all about rider input. 

  • Ive been really trying to look for a board for some downhill (max 30mph) and a real good cruiser wut board do u reccomond???

  • @TheBoxbreaker1234 check out our Pintail series. They're lower to the ground and range from7-9 plys, making them stable for small hills and cruising.

  • i got this board a few weeks ago and it's such a sick ride! one of the best boards i've ever ridden

  • Thanks for choosing Arctic Monkeys, Original! haha

  • @Originalskateboards Hey original I was wondering I've got the apex 37 and I was looking for a really good cruising board in an area with lots of flats and medium sized hills. Id say I am and intermediate rider. Help?

  • @JoeRooney1000 Sure! The Apex 37 is mostly for freestyle riding but it's also our most versatile board and is great for cruising and carving.

  • i still got my malakai snince 2009 and its still a beauty any one got any tips on how to maake it stop squeak

  • @ELIDOTORG on another video, or on their facebook page or something, they suggested soap. Like, shavings of soap.

  • @ELIDOTORG put shavings of soap in the pivot cup of your trucks :)

  • @ELIDOTORG got to originals channel and look at the left column and scroll down, there should be a original channel that is titled how to. click on it and it will show you how to disassemble your trucks.

    that should help you out. but you got to oil them use white lithium grease.

  • @ELIDOTORG Go to google and type: silverfishlongboarding + "insert your question here" Then read about it. Don't post a new thread, all the info you need is there.

  • hey original,

    ive been doubitng a long time with the malakai or pintail 37? what do you think i should get? i want a board esey for begginers, i want to be able to cruise really well. The only thing is that i dont know if the malakai is too big?! can you help me out?

  • @TheLongboardpro16 the pintail would be a good choice for you. It's more stable than the malakai and so it's easier to learn on and better for just cruising. The Malakai is a great board for beginners too, if they're looking for flex and carving

  • im 5'8 and almost 200 pounds im really just gonna use it for cruising or to get my to the skatepark would this board be good for me

  • @TheArtisEVERYTHING pintail 43 or pintail 40.

  • Hi, i am planning on buying my first board. i am a beginner and i want a pintail but i do not know which one would be best for me. i am 5'6 and a 140 pounds.

  • @mirialys100 pintail 40.

  • will this board still work well if i remove the risers?

  • @TheRealRitzZz if you take off the risers this board will most likely get wheel bite.

  • @Originalskateboards i bought the original malakai with orangatang 4pres 70mm wheels and s8 original trucks. while i was riding i got a slight wheel bite. i was wondering what size risers i shud get

  • @KpxRagDoll the Malakai is fine with 70mm wheels or smaller. You may get slight wheel bite with the 4 pres wheels since they're a wider wheel. The risers with the board are fine, I wouldn't go any bigger or it might be too wobbly of a board, you would also need different hardware.

  • just got back up with one of the original boarders was down because i had to get a new pc but my board is back baby

  • Hi, I'm 6 foot 190 pounds, is this board good for me?

  • @whatchamacallit75 we usually recommend this board for riders under 180 lbs because it's a very flexible board. If you want something with lots of flex for carving then yes, you can get this board, I would suggest red medium tension springs or white heavy tension springs in your trucks for a higher resistance. If you want a board with a bit more stability then you may want to check out the pintail 40, or 43. They're both thicker and stiffer.

  • @Kurve6258 I owned several boards and malakai is my favorite pintail.

  • Hey original, im looking for a board to push around town. Im either going to get the torpedo 40 or this.. Whats a better board for just cruising and pushing?

  • hey original i need help choosing trucks for my malakai im gonna be using it to get around but i really love pumping! i live in a pretty flat area. what do you recomend?

  • @multileroy2000 stick with the standard s6 trucks! They'll let you pump easily.

  • hey original! i want a longboard just for CRUISING im not going to do any tricks or anything so what should i get a pintail or a kicktail and which board would you reccommend for me?

  • @TeddyFingersBOI if you want a board with a bit of flex, check out either the Torpedo or the Malakai! If you want something with more stiffness and more stability then the pintail series are also a fun cruising board.

  • the malakai im using is so warped from flex

  • hey ORIGINAL, i want a long bored but i dont know if i should get the pintail 40 or the malakai 40 i just want it for cruising ..... i am new to longbording so ya pleez help

  • @DD666AWAB either board would be great for cruising. The Malakai is a more flexible board and uses s6 trucks and risers, making it very turny. The Pintail does not use risers, making it lower to the ground, and is a stiffer board, making it more stable

  • hey original! i want a pintail board that is like this one. but im pretty heavy and i also wanna do a little bit of downhill. and since original is the best longboard manufacturers, i wuz wonderin if u could help me out?

    thanks! :)

  • @IMsillypantsman123 the Malakai is a pretty flexible board. If you want one that is stiffer and more stable, then go for an actual pintail from our series! They come in 4 different sizes!

  • @IMsillypantsman123 how tall are you? but without knowing your height i would choose pintail 40 or pintail 43. the malakai would be a bit flexy.

  • This board sagged real bad on me about 2 months in. Don't buy it. It lost flex and everything.

  • Hey Original, i just got my first longboard two days ago.

    I can already ride a bit but i want to learn tricks and just riding.

    Have you got any tips for me?

    Thanks :P

  • no helmets no respect

  • @KpxRagDoll I would choose torpedo 40 with s8 trucks.

  • thank u much!

  • Hey Original! im about 5'10 210 (pretty heavy i know) i hav never longboarded and all i mainly want to do is cruise and carve. What would u guys suggest for me?

  • @YungRewsk check out the Pintail 43 and 46! They are made with 9 maple plys and are stiff and stable. They're great to cruise and carve on.

  • Just a question. I'm looking for my first board, and I'm looking for a board that's easy to ride and provides easy balance. Can anyone recommend one?

  • @5hinn402 The Pintail series are great boards to start out on because they are pretty stiff and have a lower center of gravity, providing you with a lot of stability!

  • got it a month ago from UNCLE FUNKYS yeah

  • im ordering one of these to night and I'm stuck on if i should get the s6s or the s8s

    im a beginner but i will mostly ride it at my park and to school but there is some hills on the way there but i really like the tight turns witch one one u recommend ?

  • @MichaeIw go with the S8s! It'll provide you with more stability on hills, but you will still be able to make tight carves as well.

  • @Originalskateboards im 170pounds 5"6 i like decent hills and strait cruising what bored and customizations do u recommended (beginner)

  • @JinnQz the Pintail 43 with s8 trucks and red medium tension springs would be a good set up for you! As for wheels, you can get something that's 80a in durometer which isn't too hard or too soft!

  • Thanks original I think I'm going to get the pintail 37

  • Hi original I am 5"3 and 130 pounds. I would like to carve and go down smaller hills. Do you think I should buy the Maliki 40 or the pintail 37 ( I'm a beginner )

    Thanks original

  • @oturner45zink I think the Pintail 37 provides a much higher ceiling for advancement than the Malakai (due to the concave and the drop-to-deck mounting for Original trucks. If you like the art, the Malakai is certainly a fun board but it is higher and not quite as performance oriented.

  • what trucks are better for this s8 or s10?

  • @chrisgv18 s8 .

  • Dear Original Skateboard,

    Im 5 foot 2 and 90pounds, i want to really carve but cruise a bit, not too into bombing hills but decent downhills, what do u recommend? i have had some longboard experience but not in carving, just cruising for long distances to get to places. PLEASE REPLY

  • dear original skateboard,

    i am 140 pounds and 5ft 7in what do you guys recommend for me (i am not a begginer)

  • @THEMUFFINMANO1 it all depends on the type of riding you're looking to do! Our Apex 37 is our most versatile board, but is meant mostly for freestyle. The hybrid is great for simulating surfing, and snowboarding. Our torpedo is great for cruising, and has a kicktail for some freestyle. The pintails are stable and great for cruising around. Our Freeride boards are also pretty versatile for sliding, high speeds, and freestyle. Let us know what's you're interested in!

  • Comment removed

  • @MrMetalGuitarist1 hey thanks for providing us with your height and weight, but please let us know the type of riding you would like to do, and whether you have experience or not. Once we get all the info we can help you select a good set up for you.

  • original skateboards you guys have the best customer service of any company!

  • @redSkinzFAN100 hey, thanks a lot!

  • @Originalskateboards so we see lots of videos of this dumb chick talking and we don't see her riding... pointless video

    i guess you guys kept her in the kitchen?

  • nice end music hahahahahaha

    

  • Serious doubt here: I'm a beginner and I want a longboard for cruising/carving. I have no idea whether I should get the Malakai 40, or the Pintail 40. Help, anyone? :)

  • @maurabazzarelli you may feel more comfortable going with the pintail because it's a bit more stable and is lower to the ground making learning easier.

  • @Originalskateboards Thanks, Original. You guys sure got a new customer down here in Brazil. :)

  • @maurabazzarelli don't go for a pintail kinda board. 

  • @klaarover123456789 Ok, if you're giving information, you could at least explain the reasons why you're saying what you're saying.

  • Comment removed

  • @maurabazzarelli You hardly can ride switch, sliding is extremely hard to learn since the for of a pintail isn't made for that. Doing (nose)manuals is harder and you can't make shove it's since they have no kicks (only the back but it's way harder to learn) they are to short to do grab tricks, learning to dance on a pintail is harder, and your trucks are mounted underneath your board instead of droptrough so you're higher from the ground. they are stiff (most are). go for Loaded TenTien + Durian

  • @maurabazzarelli pintails definitely. it can carve, slide and the best cruiser because its low to the ground.choose orantang stimulus (excuse my spelling) wheels not retro zigzags.

  • Dear Original, I want this board and i already have original trucks, but I dont have the Original risers, can I use regular truck risers? or if not, is it possible to buy the original risers separate?

  • @jackman99able email our customer support with your shipping address and we'll send you some risers for free!

  • Im 5'2 and around 110 pounds and I like to carve and drifts, is this board good for me? Which Original one would you recommend for me?

  • @supercel41 The Malakai is great for carving because it's pretty flexy! You may want to get the s8 trucks with it and a set of harder wheels to slide.

  • 1:16 that's what she said

  • Hey Original! I'm a skateboarder who wants to get into longboarding.

    I'm wanting to do some carving/sliding/cruising, maybe even some modest hills.

    Im 5'8 and 125, my friend Jake recommended the Malakai 40. Do you think I should go with that or something else?

  • @CooKidMcRib Look at Landyachtz's line of boards they are better for what you want, AND you wont go through trucks every 2 weeks like originals! :O

    Landyachtz, loaded, or rayne are what's up

  • @CooKidMcRib the malakai is definitely fun to carve and cruise with, and you can slide with some harder wheels. If you get the red medium tension spring in the s8 trucks you would be fine on smaller hills. If you're thinking about going pretty fast you may want to look into our pintails for speeds around 20mph (they're lower to the ground and more stable) or the freeride boards for high speeds.

  • @CooKidMcRib pintails.

  • hi original, i buy the malakai 2 weeks ago...i'm very happy, it's very easy to ride, and with the white spring in the rear truck (screwed hard) and the red spring in front it's very easy to pump it.

    ps: i'm 185/190 lbr.

  • dont buy this, this is shit on wheels

  • what longboard would you recommend to a beginner at longboards but an expert with regular boards?

  • @maxinerva87 apex 40 or 37

  • Waaant.. waaant..

  • Hi im 12'5 and 690 pounds would that be a good board fir me?

  • @GOLONGBOARD11 apex 3000.

  • she would have sex with it? interesting...

  • im 162lbs and 6ft wat would be a good board for me and im already skating and im someone who likes speed

  • @james900654 if you like speed check out our new Freeride boards. They come out in a few weeks. Take a look at the video to see what they can do.

  • I'm 6' 2" and 185 pounds and a snow boarder at heart. Do you think this would be good for my size, granted I'm not that good at turning?

  • @MrKunaiMike we usually don't recommend the Malakai or Torpedo to anyone over 180 lbs because they're really flexy boards. Check out the pintail 40. This board would be strong enough, and with Original trucks it definitely feels like snowboarding.

  • WHERE CAN I GET THIS SONG?!

  • @RalphieLopez96 itunes?

  • This is the first board I ever looked at. I fell inlove, but went with the S9 Burleigh instead. I finally got to stand on The Malakai, and I have decided to start working on my new investment..

  • two words: slow, boring

  • I'm 6'1 and I weigh 390 pounds, what would be a good longboard for me?

  • @TheCoolMexicanGuy check out Hamboards! You would also need to get the white heavy tension spring inside your trucks for maximum stability.

  • im 5'4 and 103 pounds. I love downhill boarding and cruising, what board would recommend for me?

  • @MrMoopable check out the new Freeride boards that are coming out in a few weeks!

  • what is the best longboard for sliding

  • Hey, im 6 feet and 120 pound. i have longboarded for 1 year, would you recommend this board for me?

  • @youman09az the Malakai would be a great board for your size! It's a pretty flexy board and is great for carving.

  • like she skates...-_-

  • @thehillsbulls With the green wheels, they were s10 trucks, the largest original trucks. They are best for bombing big hills. The stock form comes with s8 trucks. Honestly I would get the pintail 40 which is the newer version of this board.

  • what trucks were they when she had the green wheels on s8 or s10 can you please tell me originalor anyone pleases

  • Hey, I'm 6 feet exactly, im 14 and I weigh 130 pounds, would you recommend this board or the pintail 40? they both look amazing. I'm also a beginner so I need one which is easy to ride.

  • @138Jezza the malakai and pintail 40 would both be a good choice for you. The pintail is a bit easier to learn on because it's lower to the ground and isn't as flexible making it more stable.

  • but i also want an acceptable amount of stability so im not sure if this board would be okay because i do realize it is on risers

  • @EmDoubs check out the pintail 40 if you're looking for stability!

  • i want to get a boared that can turn and carve really good....please respond im ordering one soon:)

  • @EmDoubs look at either the Malakai 40 or the Torpedo 40. Both boards come with our standard s6 trucks and can really rip around the streets!

  • @Originalskateboards okay thanks! which one is more stable for cruising though?

  • @EmDoubs both ride the same. If you want stability upgrade your trucks to either the s8 or s10's and get the red medium tension springs.

  • hi, im a longboarder i usual do downhill but ive carved a lot with my friends boards and im looking into buying a downhill carving board any suggestions

  • what song is this? cause i could almost swear its the artic monkeys...

  • Hi Original,

    I really wanna get one of your boards but dont know which one to get. I am 5'9 and weigh 120, I am new to longboards and want one for mainly for cruising but can carve nicely. Also what king of set up should get with trucks and wheels?

    Thank You

  • @Danul11 check out the Pintail 40. It's a great cruising board, and paired up with Original s8s you'll be able to carve nicely. Look for a wheel with a softer durometer if you want a smooth, grippy ride.

  • @Originalskateboards Thanx =D

  • @starcaster1999 sure! The Malakai and Pintail are different feels when you ride them. The Malakai is much more flexible and uses risers so it's not as stable as the pintail. If you're looking for a flexible board they you can make some really quick, tight carves with, the Malakai is a great choice!

  • if you upgrade the wheels on the malakai 40 does it give it better speed?

  • Can i put a 75 mm on a paris 180 truck on this deck ?? pls hellpp !!

  • @syaih95 we try to stick with 70 mm wheels on the Malakai or you will get wheel bite

  • @Bojpen you wont get wheel bite, the 70mm wheels fit fine!

  • Comment removed

  • Wow, just got this as my first board and its amazing! What she said; I'm obsessed with it :D

  • can i put on the malakai 74 mm wheels?

    pls help it's really important

  • @greentey we do not use anything bigger than 70mm wheels on the Malakai or else you will get wheel bite.

  • @Originalskateboards ok thank you.. but now it's needless because someone has stolen it and I have no money for a new one -.-

  • i think i will buy a longboard at originalskateboards but i have just one question..

    do you get often wheelbites?

  • i'm 15 about 120.

    never snowboarded or surfed but i've tried my friends longboards, what would you recommend?

  • @bassdudemike the Torpedo, Malakai, and Pintails are all great beginner boards. Check them out!

  • hey original, i am a beginner... and i am 5'7 and i weigh 140.... what board would you recomend for me? :) plzz respond... or someoneelse... plz i would like to buy a board soon :)

  • what trucks and weels would you suggest if i wanted to upgrade this board a little

  • @surfda808style upgrade to the s8 trucks and you can put whatever 70mm wheels you want depending on the type of riding you plan to do. Hard= sliding, soft= sticking

  • her presentation sucked

  • im five five and 160 pounds would this board be good for me? i am familliar with bmx and skating

  • best board ever

  • Can i be fast like on a pintail with a malakai ? Thank you

  • Hi im 5'5" 105 pounds and im looking into buying this board would suggest this or something else?

  • i just got my malakai 40 basic setting and i was wondering if i can ride malakai on big hills

  • hey @Originalskateboards! im 5 feet tall, weigh 90 pounds, and im new to longboarding. i already have a board but its just not doin the job. would you recommend the malakai 40? if not, which board would be best for me?

  • how much weight can this support before it becomes a problem?

  • I"m 12 80 pounds and around 5 foot.

    I have little experience on Longboard and a little more on the skateboard. And I can do little snowboarding.

    I want a long board just to cruise down mainly flat streets.

    What kind of board would you reccomend, and what is the price of the board?

    -Grace

  • Hey Originalskatebaords, I'm 5'5 and about 120 pounds. I am also a beginner which longboard should i begin with?

  • damn when are you gonna get the pintail 40 or 43 cus i wan one of themmbut beacuse theyr out of stock i dont know what to do then i saw the malaki and i tought it would be good enugh but now im not so sure anymore. when do you get the boards

  • im 5-4 and 160 pound would this work for me

  • is this board for beginners?

  • trying to order online but its not adding it to my cart what should i do :/

  • How will it flex if a 230lb guy rode it? Would it still ride good?

  • @JayBird90210 Thanks for posting your height and weight Jay. The Malakai will be a bit too flexible for you at 230Lbs, try the Pintail 43 or Pintail 46, that should work perfect for you.

  • right now i have a 45 inch sector nine but its used and not very nice. im trying to decide between this or a kahuna. any suggestions?

  • or you can get a bike if your trying to get around..

  • Okay should I get the malakai or the pintail 40 I love to cruise and i mostly ride long distance..

  • Original long boards if I want this board but I'm pretty experienced what do I upgrade the wheels and the trucks to? How much will it coat me?

  • I'm 6' and about 140-145 pounds... and i've been boarding for a few weeks now with my gf's old borad... do you think the Malakai would be a good first board for me?

  • This is a disgrace to longboarding. Its about speed and thrill. Stop fucking touching the road u hippies. Get some leathers and a helmet and bomb those hills instead of molesting them u no skilled noobs.

    Orginal always makes the worst shit, these trucks are terrible, decks are trash.

    support Earthwing or Landyachtz or Comet, not this bullshit.

    SMH

  • how come all the people in original vids are so fuckin weird?????

  • Hey Originalskateboards in 12 yrs old 103lbs 5ft and i don't know what kind of board to get. i have no long boarding experience and I'm looking for a good beginner board that is mainly for cruising around and urban tightly packed town.

    Please write back.

    -Joey
