How to Longboard: Original Longboard Trucks / No Wheel Bite

[8bitmiso]

What do you guys say to using risers? (And how do you measure clearance with risers?)

[wowcantfindaname12]

Hey I'm gettingnthe apex 37 and wondering what would the best size would be for the original trucks. I'm also looking for cheapness. Could you also recommend wheels and bearings. I am using it as a traveling and a board to just cruise around and learn to slide. I'm 14 and I'm 5,5 or 5,4 I wiegh around 115. And pretty sure I'm gunna get the apex just not sure what length, thanks

[Originalskateboards]

@wowcantfindaname12 the Original s8 trucks with the standard black springs would be good for your height and weight. Also, a good sliding wheel would be the Abec 11 flashbacks, Orangatang Stimulus, or the Retro Freerides. As for bearings, the Bones Reds usually work great.

[titoineboily]

Im not sure that i understand everything.. if my board is n5 t5.5, can I use the S10?

[sharits27]

how would you mesure a board with wheel cut outs like the apex boards?

[fearsrampage1313]

@wargasm180 those are mostly fast downhill companies. you wouldnt do a varial on a evo would you?

[UnchainedPsych0]

6'3 175lbs. What do you recommend? I'm thinking something for stability and long-life. Flat-ish area, with some hills.

[hurleyi2017]

can you put the 200mm trucks on a dropthrough deck?

[2929lol2929]

mine is n9 t9, is there anywhere i can get that size truck?

[snakeman32695]

Hey im 6' 3" 225. Im lookin for a board that will last, keep its shape, etc, theres a decent amount of hills here, but there are flats too. Any suggestions for trucks and boards?

[MrTotoproductions]

@Im836291 get the apex 37 or wait for the apex 40 or get the landyachtz switchblade

[lm83291]

hey im 15, 5'8 and 130 pounds whats a good longboard thats really smooth and fast and right for me????????? thanks

[kmanslim]

i'm making a longboard deck its shaped like a drop deck but doesnt drop the nose and tail r 6" and i have 70 mm wheels wut size trucks should i get?

[csta1994]

I've made my own board and the nose is 190 mm wide but the trucks are raised 5mm, so can I use 6 inch trucks or should I search for 7 inch? it's quite a budgetboard

[MoNst3R18]

i have a freeride 41 rockerconcave and im wondering if i could put some original trucks on it and if so what size?

[MrPoreotix1]

can i use s6 on an apex 34 with 70mm wheelsplz help

[catgat100]

Hello, I'm 5'10" and 255lb and I want to get a board that well last for awhile and won't lose its shape. There's alot of downhill and flats where I live. What do u think I should get?

[Originalskateboards]

@catgat100 the freeride 41 with rocker concave would be a great board for you. It's stable on down hills and makes pushing on flats easy since it's a drop through deck. The rocker concave is also a strong board, so it won't lose its shape, and it offers a wider stance.

[LongboardBail]

I made my own longboard deck... Its has cut outs on each end, and i was wondring if the width of the cut outs are 4.75 inches but the cut out themselves are only 3.75 inches and the deck is 9 inches wide would i get wheel bite?

[Sjanetsky1]

You guys should do some more informational videos cuz i find them very helpful

[ohyeah453]

hey im 6' 195lbs and im looking for a good board. im thinking an Atom dropthrough, but i think i should ask you. any ideas? thanks!

[Originalskateboards]

@ohyeah453 what's your height and weight, and what type of riding are you looking to do?

[ohyeah453]

@Originalskateboards im 6 foot 190 pounds, and i live in florida so its pretty flat ground. just riding around town

[Originalskateboards]

@ohyeah453 the pintail series would be great for you! You would like the Pintail 40 if your riding mostly flats. It's awesome for cruising and carving! Put some red springs into your trucks for some extra stability

[ohyeah453]

@Originalskateboards thanks a ton!! that really helped

[TheSteezmister]

Hey I'm 14 and only 5'3 and 105 pounds, what would be a good longboard to learn on?

[Originalskateboards]

@TheSteezmister great boards to start out on would be out pintail series. I would recommend checking out the pintail 37!

[bmx28kenilworth]

@Originalskateboards hey im 15, 6'3", and 125 lbs. I know. im under weight.

so my friend gave me a new deck for my b-day that he made in woodshop, cause he knew i love longboarding. the board is 24.5". i want 150mm trucks from you guys and sliding wheels. what combination do you think i should get?

thanks

[tycanady]

Hey im 16 and 5'11 140 lbs. What would be a good board to learn on? I live in Florida so it's really flat here.

[Originalskateboards]

@tycanady Check out the Apex 37! A great versatile board good for beginners, but also a board you can progress as a rider on. Should fit both Florida and your size good!

[DanielR0828]

@tycanady I live in Florida too! lol

[lymkb3]

hey, all three of those trucks fit on my board its a 32", which would be the best for carving?

[subwaystereo]

I'm 6'1'' and around 140lbs, and bought a Pintail 46. Was this a wise choice? I'm starting to question my decision after I broke my knee and tore a ligament while riding it.

[radiomindtherapy]

@subwaystereo Man I hope this is a joke. If not, God bless for a speedy recovery.

Even with the perfect setup for your size, accidents can happen. Always skate

terrain that is ideal for your progress.

I personally would have gone with a 43. Unless you're very experienced, with a low BMI

you're better off going with something more geared towards your weight as opposed to your height.

[subwaystereo]

@radiomindtherapy I'm doing better now, and back on the board. Yeah, I should have gone with something like the 43. Now I just cruise and play it safe. After being in a wheelchair for two months, I decided not to bomb hills any more. Love Original though!

[Jerrzeyboy12]

im 17 weigh 175lbs and im 6 feet, beginner too, whats a good size board? thanks

[Originalskateboards]

@Jerrzeyboy12 the pintail 43 would be a good sized board for you and a great board to learn on.

[000rico]

long boarding is for big queers

[ALLEXXX321]

@000rico why the fuck r u here

[firstdarkknight]

im 14 6ft tall and 150 punds i new i dont want anything expenses i want a good beaginner long board please tell me what to use

[Originalskateboards]

@firstdarkknight you may want to check out either the pintail 40 or 43. The 43 will give you more stability and the 40 will be able to make tighter, faster carves.

[tavyron95]

I'm 5'3 weigh 115-120 and I'm a beginner what board should I get someone please reply ?

[Originalskateboards]

@tavyron95 check out the pintail 40! It's a great beginner board and it is a good size for you.

[omgthatsjebus]

yo im new to longboarding im 15 6ft tall and way about 127lb and would really love some help thx for your time

[qUiCkScOpExGoDz]

can i use skateboard trucks and longboard wheels on my longboard as long as there is no wheel bite?

[BarkyDarks]

I want a good all rounder, that is affordable, since I'm a begginer

[TheMegaLaneek]

I have a Santa Cruz Mahaka pintail, i jusr recently got it, i am saving for a pintail 37 from Original skateboards, but i was wondering if these trucks would be a good idea for my current longboard?

[drkcaey]

All I want for Original is for them to make this trucks lighter and maybe less noiser. It rides too great that Im always in the mist of choosing to fit my Paris or Originsl.

[SniperTommyBoy]

Can u put bigger trucks on a longboard than needed if u want to? What are the effects?

[Argus788]

This was very helpful !

[somOWNenBOY4]

UMMM i wanna buy a longboard for my first time. And also first time riding sooo.... i need some help im 5'7 and 185 pounds and i was wondering if the TLS basic longboard is good.

[FighterSamCarpenter]

I burst my bursa when i got a bad board bite thanks for the advice:)

[DPrydeBaby123]

Hey, im 17 almost 5"7 and weigh 140 i was thinking about getting the pintail 43. Do you guys think that is a good idea? please tell me your thoughts. i have never longboarded before so i need help

[TMHthesmp]

[Originalskateboards]

@DPrydeBaby123 the pintail 43 sounds like a great choice for you. It's a good beginner board

[Originalskateboards]

@iLongboard13 if you order a complete it comes with standard Abec 3 speed lubed bearings

[MrRagersMojo]

Hey, I was thinking about getting a longboard for my birthday and i dont know which one to get im about 115-120 and im 5" 6. Im more of a cruiser/carver but sometimes i bomb hills and slide with my friends what woudl be he best board for me?

[Ronnor01]

wel im 13 and i weigh 75 lbs and im 5"2

[jpbooster]

when will the derringer be back in stock??

[axxmrdrd]

My board is about 12,5 cm nose and 12 cm tail. The required for S6's is 4,5 inches (11,43 cm). I wonder if it will work. (I use 65mm wheels).

[MrFatDog0]

I would use your trucks if they would not brake all the time, breaks like every week. And you gotta clean them. Takes like forever.

[f0615388]

Can these support up to 250 pounds?

[GzDaBawm]

What would be a good board for a 14 year old, 6 feet tall, 175 lbs? I'm a beginner.

[GoLongboardNow]

Hey! I'm looking for a new longboard to get. I'm about 5' 1I", and I'm about 165 pounds. I'm looking for an all around board. Maybe some downhill. Please let me know.

[sickboynotyet]

why don't you produce 180 mm such as randall or amok?

[TheNatetastic]

can you drop through original trucks

[BennyBenBen7]

my boards clearance is < N4.25/T4.25, and it is 40" long. should i really get 150mm turcks or a little higher?

[JusCallMehMarq]

hey whats up.. um im 5 11 and weigh 175 and am about to be a beginner at long boarding.. any ideas on which board i should get.. i'd appreciate the help!

[theCage9]

@JusCallMehMarq Any Sector Nine boards for a beginner. If you want an Original, go with the Topedo 40, the Pintail 37, or the Malakai. ~Toast.

[CBsebas]

Im 6'1 150 lbs what kind of first time board are good for me?

[TheLivingTrend]

hey I got a long board about a week ago and i am trying to learn to pump but it doesn't seem to be working out really well (i might not be doing it right) i have a background in skating so i picked this up pretty fast but i cant seem to maintain a speed more than a brisk walk. So I was wondering if it could be because my trucks where too tight? they are squeaking but i feel like it may be because it is new.

if someone could help me that would be great!

[iluvpurple911]

i just started learning longboarding got a used longboard off a friend but it's got a really bad wheel bite

it's a layback 43" board, i'm 5'10 and about 150 pounds, is this normal, am i doing something wrong or is the board not right? thanks

[Thokmallol]

Hi I want to buy an original, my height is 5 "9 '

and weight 154 pounds, could please tell me which longboard i could ride?

oh yeah and how long would arrive to Colombia?(South America)

Thanks Advance :)

[eatsleepandskate1]

Sorry do the s6 trucks fit on my arbor pocket rocket bamboo trucks.

[eatsleepandskate1]

Hi original

I have an arbor pocket rocket bamboo wondering if longboard would the s6's fit.

[raphsk8er]

I plan of buying a Torpedo 40 but im not sure about my customization. I wanna try buying it with Original S6 150mm Trucks, Seismic Hot Spot 69mm 78a (Orange) wheels and Bones Super Reds bearings. But I live in the city and maybe I will plan going to ride in tiny hills... I dont know if its a good idea to take that customization or its better for me if I take it the standart way... Thanks!

[purpleownz176]

My dad made me a board and put the trucks on backwards.It was actually really fun haha

[SkierDude888]

Are you able to pu the S8 200mm on a board with drop through mounting?

[leotheloser]

SO ALL AMERICANS LIKE USING INCHES FOR MEASURING HUH

YOU FUCKING RACISTS

[iliketheskating]

hey im gonna buy a longboard and im 16 and about 100 lbs and it'll my first longboard any tips on what i should get? also im 5"2 lol so if yall could repy thatd be great

PS subscribed!

[GoldCelloProductions]

@iliketheskating a 100 lb 16 year old? holy..

[iliketheskating]

@GoldCelloProductions lol ikr im skinny as hell

[epicferret1]

@iliketheskating dude. im 13 and 100 pounds. i thought i was skinny. 16 and 100 lbs my ass jk

[Originalskateboards]

@iliketheskating If your a first time longboarder I'd take a look at the Pintails, Torpedo, and Malakai. They are all similar and have traits that are good for beginners. The Malakai, or Pintail 37 are two good options for someone your height and weight.

-Joel

[aliqueperez29]

@Originalskateboards whats better softer or harder wheels?? with bumpy roads but not that bumpy just alot of lumps in the road

[SkylarrL]

@aliqueperez29 softer(around 80a), wider wheels are better for carving and high speeds and because they are wider, they will aid in stability as well. softer wheels will also be (in my opinion) more comfortable to ride long distances on.

hard wheels (83a, 86a, and so on)are preferred for freeriding because they're easier to slide right out of the box. either one would do well for your situation, but the softer wheels may provide you with a smoother and more comfortable ride.

[aliqueperez29]

@SkylarrL thanks!!!!!!!!

[JELLYPAKHUSTLER]

@iliketheskating Lol im 13 5"5 and weigh 120 (not hatin)

[omgitsyu2]

@iliketheskating WTF you're 16 and 100 lbs??? 5'2??? holy shit dude you gotta eat!

[shoshoandfriends]

@iliketheskating im the exact same height and weight as u and im 12

[VoiD1x]

@iliketheskating pintail 40

[flyingvish]

Whats de difrence between the trucks exept sise, do they have pro's and con's?

or do they all ride/feel the same ?

[tailwhip3601]

will bigger trucks let me turn sharper and carve more ?

[NeenaAndEmily]

@tailwhip3601 Actually it is the opposite. Smaller trucks will have a smaller turning radius and will therefore make sharper turns. So the S6 trucks would make the sharpest turns, followed by the S8 and then the S10 trucks.

[chubeviewer]

@tailwhip3601 no shorter tricks will

[tevilune]

i have a 6.5 inch nose and my trucks are 230mm and my wheels are 70mm should i get bigger trucks or smaller wheels?

[Originalskateboards]

@ajmartin1995

S10s would be the way to go, you might have to run a trial/error on the wheel diameter. Let us know if you have any other questions!

[ragingLIAM]

my trucks squeek and make noises there 2days old aswell.... any ideas on how tight and what grease i should use?

[Originalskateboards]

@ragingLIAM

Use White Lithium Grease, the kind in a tube or tub, NOT THE SPRAY! Spray form will only increase the squeaking. As for tightening, make sure that the lock tab sits about half way into the baseplate where the wave cam sits. Hope this helps!

[butternutterflutter]

@ragingLIAM u probly just gotta break ur board in

[LFOFINAL]

2:27 - Typo. Original still kicks ass though!

[zambina44]

@awayawah different tails and shapes of the boards decide what kind of riding you would do and what you can do with the board. The torpedo for example has a full kick tail and you can drop curbs or maybe manual. I've seen more elite kids do traditional skateboard kickflips and such with that torpedo tail.

[awayawah]

what is the deal with the different types of tails? i have noticed a few different ones but don't know what their specific purpose is.

[PretzelMan1212]

Hey Original,

Loving your videos! I'm 14 years old, 5"5, 100 pounds, and i ride a Ripstik and a SoleSkate (neither take hills well). I'm looking for a longboard to carve on hills, but still pump on flats like my ripstik. I wouldn't be doing any tricks.

I'm looking at the Derringer 28 with:

- S6 trucks

- Retro BigZig 75mm wheels

- Cell Swiss (Black V1) bearings

Should I try the S8s or even another brand's trucks? When do you think the derringer will be back in stock?

Cheers from Australia!

[PicklePiratee]

If my N and T are both 6 inches, what wheel size can I get without getting wheel bite using the S8s? Or should I just get the S10s?

[joelcoil]

eh, i have a speed demon pintail N6" and T6" would the S8, or the S10? just to be safe, I really don't want wheel bite and i will probably get larger wheels.? please help!

[chaingang90]

so wider is always still the safest option??

[TheMidas333]

do you ship to canada ????

[Downfacingdog]

Inches are accurate, you crazy fucking dude! Move to France.

[Chipoltegod2]

im thinking about getting the loaded vanguard can i put original s8s on the deck?

thanks

[714TO925]

Can these trucks be used for carving aswell?

[OpTicXVISIONX]

@714TO925 these trucks are amazing carvers personaly they are my favorite trucks

[714TO925]

[OpTicXVISIONX]

[Lazerx09]

[XxreaersxX]

what kind of wood do original make there longboards out of

[N3v3rb3lv4]

What would be the best longboard for traveling? I'm not looking to do any tricks, just leasure and pleaseure of being able to get to places faster and allot funner. I need a board that can make good turns, like from a street onto the sidewalk, and skating on the sidewalk. I'm very intristed in buying a new longboard any advice?

[THE6POINT0REJECT]

I want to get a Apex 37 but you guys do not list the measurements shown in this video on your website...can you send me a message with the measurements? I want to get maybe something other than original trucks maybe gullwing stalkers

[michfan2016]

is it possible to buy just a deck from the website? im really interested in the new pintail.

[Originalskateboards]

@michfan2016

You can order the deck over the phone, just give us a call toll free at 1800 619 5579

[MrFuznubz]

@Originalskateboards my friend had a broken wavecam, and had a VERY hard time reaching you over the phone. to the guy that wanted the deck, i would try a different method of contacting them.

[reevertv]

@Originalskateboards

I am a beginner and I am looking for a board. I am not a "trick" person, but more of a ride-to-relax type of person. What type of board should I get? Can I buy one from you?

[BlackenedKnife]

i have a board that keeps getting wheel bite in sharp turns

[THE6POINT0GUYS]

75mm wheels with 180mm trucks... On an Aex 37....will it work?

[WhiskeyRiver9]

I got a torpedo 40 with all stock stuff. I'm lookin to upgrade my trucks and wheels now. What's the best size truck for a torpedo the S8 or S10 and what's a good wheel size to go with it? Totally open to any input from anyone..

[dayalanz]

@WhiskeyRiver9 for cruising, go with 70mm wheels. Abec 11 or Orangatan are good choices. If you want some DH action, get some normal trucks. Flexy boards aren't meant for DH though

[WhiskeyRiver9]

@dayalanz badass. I got the S8's and they're soo sick. I loaded up some Exkate 70mm wheels and they BLOW. They ride so slow and are really frustrating considering my other wheels hauled ass. I've become addicted to speed and started getting into sliding. What would be some good wheels for speed and durability for sliding? Exkate is DEF not it, that's for sure..

[Originalskateboards]

@WhiskeyRiver9

I personally like the S8s the best on the Torpedo, and I think 70mm is the wheel size to go with on that setup

[WhiskeyRiver9]

@Originalskateboards Thanks a lot, man. These S8's are sooo sick! Easily the best purchase decision I've made since deciding to skate Original..

[socxer1]

Can i have 75mm wheels on a torpedo (T:5 N:6) with the S8??

[Lazerx09]

@socxer1 ur guna get wheel bite

[flukey1997]

hey i want to buy some of your trucks and i have a 41 inch pintail, that is n6 & t6, and the wheels are 70mm. what would be the best for my board???

[Snapsnap111]

I have a malakai 40 with S6's and standard wheels. If i wanted to get Retro wheels would I need to upgrade to S8's or S10's? Or would my trucks work fine.

[Battleblob1]

@Snapsnap111 (I also have a malakai!) You could stick with your S6's, but it would be better to upgrade to S8's.

[Battleblob1]

i want to put some original trucks on a sector 9, and the measurement is n:8.5 t:7.5

[shithappensTV1]

[iamameatheadru]

can you use original trucks on a drop through deck?

[Originalskateboards]

@iamameatheadru

You can use them on the deck. Just know that they don't actually drop through, they will mount to the bottom of the deck as they normally would

[tribedoce123456789]
