Longboard Skateboard Short

[Originalskateboards]

@cabbagepixie the Apex 37 flyweight would be a good board for you. It's a great board for freestyle riding and can also handle some freeriding as well.

[oOBlackDaRippaOo]

I am 5'5 and 160 lbs what do u think would work best for me?

[Originalskateboards]

@oOBlackDaRippaOo it all depends on the type of riding you are looking to do and if you have experience or if you're a beginner. Thanks for providing us with your height and weight, but with a bit more info about you we can help you choose the right set up.

[oOBlackDaRippaOo]

@Originalskateboards Definite beginner and were i come from there are alot of bumpy roads so, i am not sure what that would tell you :/

[Originalskateboards]

@oOBlackDaRippaOo Bumpy roads can be handled by larger, softer, wheels. You might want to look at the Freeride 38 (with non-Original trucks). Since your roads are really bumpy the bushing system is a slightly better match. You could certainly go with the Pintail 40 as an alternative, load some larger 70mm+ wheels on in a durometer (softness) of 80a or less.

[oOBlackDaRippaOo]

@Originalskateboards Your freaking Brilliant!

[mollylewislongboard]

love this

[JERKYMAN97]

what would u sugjest for a guy thats 6'00 AND 220 LBS

[Originalskateboards]

@JERKYMAN97 I would suggest either the Apex 37 cruiser weight if you are looking into a high performance board, or the Pintail 46 for some great cruising around.

[soheypeops]

are original s8s and otang stimulus good for sliding?

[triviumfr3ak]

@yanaBELO holy shit youre 84 pounds?

[zambina44]

@ciscokid8893 well that depends. If they skateboarder beforehand (which a buttload of longboarders did, including me) then yes we could do shit. But why does that matter to you? You're obviously a skateboarder so leave longboarders to their own sport. Not hatin, I'm just saying that you don't need to comment stuff like that

[ciscokid8893]

give a real skateboard to a longboarder and they cant do shit. give a longboard to a real skateboader, and at least they can do something

[maximocremoso]

does originalskateboards have locker rockets? like mini longboards?

if so were can i get 1 here in MIAMI?

´´hey chek my barefoot ska8n vid :)

[mollylewislongboard]

@maximocremoso yeah they do, check out there website :)

[Originalskateboards]

@yanaBELO

I think a great board for you would be either the Malakai, Path or Apex 34, and I would suggest upgrading to the S8 Trucks for added stability and a smoother ride!

[fudge8296]

song?

[MrCapiroto66]

Hey guys, do you have a re-seller in Brazil?? I surf, and i really want to chek out your boards, but i just don´t find here in Brazil. (sorry about my english, i hope a could make myself clear, rsrs)

Thanks!

[Mercenaries2cheats]

[777blowYOURmind777]

[lildrummerboy874]

hey guys, im 5'11 and 150, pretty sure ive got my heart set on the apex 37. have any suggestions?

[Originalskateboards]

Hey drummerboy,

The Apex 37 is an awesome board! What do you think you'll be using it for mostly?

[lildrummerboy874]

mostly just casual carving, nothing too extreme. all of your boards look really solid, would you recommend the apex 37?

[Originalskateboards]

Yeah dude, if you're set on the Apex, it will be a great a board for you and it leaves a lot of room for progression!

[deiois]

hi im thinking of gettinng the hybrid but im 6.3 and 190 pounds will it work

[Originalskateboards]

Hey deiois,

Yes, the Hybrid will work fine for you!

[Noise789]

[HoOkaHMaInUsEr]

[Originalskateboards]

Hey HoOkaH,

Tell us your height and weight and we'll help you find the right board!

[eli4213]

im 5'3" and im looking at getting a new longboard and i mostly like carving down big hills but id like one for cruising too. what should i get?

[dannypharris]

any original board would be good for you but i recommend either the apex 37 or the torpedo 40

[Originalskateboards]

Hey Eli,

Check out the Custom 35, that should be a perfect board for you!

[SE4GY7]

thats a trip

[9999musica]

Do you guys skate?

[Originalskateboards]

Nah, no skateboarding allowed.

[Bloodstainguitar]

What?...

[Originalskateboards]

what?

[135atn]

hey i am 5 ft 3 and i weigh 113 and want to buy a longboard for speed and a nice cruise. i really dont no anything about them yet but wat do u suggest?

[Originalskateboards]

Hey 135atn,

I would recommend that you check out either the Custom 35 or Path 37!

[Talis64]

wow thats like excaltly me haha

[Rastamapalace]

Hey,

i don't own a long board or have ever rode one but i have watched most of the videos on your channel and i think i would like to buy one and start because it looks so fun. im 5,4 and weigh 105 pounds. i also snow board so i was just wondering what board you recomend

[Originalskateboards]

Hey Rasta,

I would recommend that if you can wait 3 - 4 weeks, go with the Apex 34. If you want a board now, go with the Custom 35! Let us know if you have any other questions!

[EnvisionFabrications]

Hey i was wondering which to go with, the custom 35 or the apex 37? i want a board to cruise with, while hitting some pretty big hills every once and a while.

Thanks

[Originalskateboards]

Hey EF,

I would highly recommend that you go with the Custom 35!

[EnvisionFabrications]

Thanks!

[USMC77777]

hey does the custom 45 with s10s do they have a lot of tight turning like the torpedo 40 with s6s because im debating weather to get a 40 because i cruise and like to slalom every once in awhile or the 45 because i like to carve hills the thing is i would prefer the 40 because its a cruiser and thats mostly what i do but would it give me decent stability going down decent hills -Thanks

[Originalskateboards]

Hey USMC,

They best set up for you is going to be the Torpedo with S8s. This will give you a nice cruiser that has tight turning capabilities and stability for hills!

[USMC77777]

thanks man

[BigHit9922]

thievery corporation, love them. look up 'lebenese blonde', and download the album "the cosmic game", lot of songs similar to this

[Originalskateboards]

Should be working now.

[stupidfilms101]

i have an orginal longboard and im obssesed with. and again that was relly good.

[chetter0716]

What kind did you get?

[llamafrenzy2]

i recently got a gravity longboard do you guys sell anywhere near st.louis, mo

[Originalskateboards]

Hey Llama,

As of right now the best way to get a board in MO would be to give us a call: 800-619-5579 or hit up the website. There is free shipping on completes and no tax.

As far as MO dealers... do you have any suggestions? We will try to arrange some stock.

[baseballexpert0]

Nice video But you guys should be wearing helmets.

[Originalskateboards]

Thats true. We have been riding for a long time and when doing high speed down hill or park skating we always wear our helmets. That being said, we should wear them all the time.

[mikeblom]

original longboards suck. landyatchzs r were its at

[Originalskateboards]

Well played sir,

[sciencescience]

"are" and "it's" which is the abbreviation for "it is."  Its is stating a possessive. Grammar....a beast to master at 23 huh?

[Nick5379]

I prefer long boards. I cant keep my feet on the little skateboards. I dont realy like flashy flip tricks and stuff either. I just like to go fast.

[Originalskateboards]

Hey Nick,

Right on man,

Going fast is always a good time,

I think longboarding can be what you make it;

You can cruise, go fast, carve, do flip tricks or screw around on flatland.

Different boards are good for different things but its all for fun and I don't think you get quite as locked into one thing as you do with shortboarding (which I also enjoy).

[itsokeydokey]

Hey i was wondering if Original has any boards that are good for just cruising. And also if i could get a price.

Thanks for any help

[Originalskateboards]

Okey,

Absolutely,

I would look at one of the longer boards (Torpedo or Malakai would be a great choice). If you are doing a lot of flatland cruising you should stay with either the S6 150mm trucks or jump up to the S8 200mms.

As far as price, both those boards run at $169.00 with free shipping, AND if you subscribe to our YouTube channel you will get a message with a 5.00 discount. For crusing the S8 Original longboard trucks are better for hills but not as quick turning for flatland stuff.

[seanvot]

Ok. Thanks alot!

Yeah down here its really flat.

Thanks again

[VengfulLemon589]

sweet thanks for the info I'll probably get the custom or Malakai.

[VengfulLemon589]

i also wonder whats the best type of board for bombing hills in this skateboard company.

[Originalskateboards]

Original's are really designed for carving but bombing is fun as well.

You can drastically improve the bombing performance of any Original board upgrading to one of the wider truck sizes (200mm or even better the 250mm) or heavier springs.

Our best bombing board (the Apex 37) is not yet released. For a sneak peak look at the last shot in our "No wheelbite" video. It is available for order via phone only.

Another great choice would be the Custom 45, it is great for hills and very stable.

[VengfulLemon589]

hey is the hybrid 35 shown in this video and what style is the hybrid for?

[Originalskateboards]

Hey Veng,

The Hybrid is being ridden in most of the sliding clips (with very hard wheels). Really it was designed an aggressive surf simulator, for advanced surfers.

It is a single kicktail shape which gives you a very surfy feel if you setup your stance with your backfoot on the tail, that being said you can also ride with both feet on the platform (back foot off of the tail) for stability.

If you have no surf experience I would go with the Torpedo or Malakai for a more comfortable cruise.

[yankee1500]

hey in .15 is that a skateboard deck?

[Originalskateboards]

That's one of our "hybrid" type surf skates; The Purge. Basically it is an 80's skateboard deck shape with holes routed through the deck to make allowance for the board lean generated by our longboard trucks (which would cause wheelbite if the board were not shaped specifically to work with the trucks)

That being said it rides very different from either a skateboard or a longboard. It turns on a dime but requires a lot of skill to control.

[yankee1500]

how wide is it?

[Originalskateboards]

The Purge measures 10'' wide x 33'' long.

[byunsta]

what board is in 00:28?

[Originalskateboards]

Hey Byunsta,

That longboard is an Original Torpedo 40 with S8 (200mm) trucks.

[skateNappreciate]

this video makes you feel high

[AsylumFilmz]

awesome vid...1 question wahat effec6 did u use on the video

[Originalskateboards]

Not sure about that one, sorry Asylum.

[Arideath]

depends on wat video editing program you have. some are very user friendly and give you a bunch of effects and all you need to do is layer them. this video has sepia tone, old movie effect (its called that), and i dont remember what the effect that slightly blurs the videos is called rite now.

[inthisredhouse]

what model board is being ridden at 00:31?

[Originalskateboards]

The longboard ridden at 00:31 is the Derringer 28. Sweet board but bombing as shown takes practice. Brad (the rider in that clip) has absolutely no tension on those trucks and is going about 35MPH.

He is insane so I wouldnt recommend trying that until you have been riding that board for a while.

[brianbish9]

that's friggin sick man
