@sixsixsik You obviously know nothing of skate history. The truth about longboards is not well known, people seem to have forgot what they are. Most people who ride longboards don't even know what a longboard really is. Skateboarding has existed since the 50s, newschool street style and the moder...

@TwoFootedMan You always want your trucks loose enough that you can use them, tightening so much that you can't lean all the way isn't the answer. There are plenty of methods to make a more stable board (drop-mounting, lower angle trucks, etc) but it's mostly the rider. Resisting wobbles is a men...

"Longboard" is a word originally used in place of "long skateboard", no different than it's used in surfing (long surfboard). That definition didn't change, people just forgot what it meant. It has nothing to do with the wheels, trucks, or riding style, it's just length. Any skateboard less than ...

It has to do with the wheels being bigger and softer, not what kind of board it is. My street setup has 58mm 90a wheels and handles most terrain. Also, longboards are just long skateboards. It's doesn't have to be kickflippable to be a skateboard. Hard-wheeled trick boards can be longboards too, ...

Skateboarding has been around since the 50s. The mainstream design most people ride today didn't appear until the early 90s. Both these people are "skating". "Longboard" is not a verb, it's a length class of skateboard, it means it's at least 3ft, that's it. Jeremy Peckham rides a longboard stree...

@Ownyourmomma Yes, it is.

@TotallyAnonymous55 Some brands like Bones and MHS don't bother printing the abec rating because it doesn't matter, while others will print it anyway hoping that ignorant skaters will pay more for a higher rating.

@MrDigitalRob You need to do your history homework bud. For the record, ALL skateboards are supposed to carve and surf the street, even street boards. If it doesn't carve and turn well, it's set up improperly, ESPECIALLY if it has a short wheelbase. The Landyachtz Evo is undoubtedly a longboard, ...

@Tarzan07330 I'd also like to throw this in there: carving, pumping, cross-stepping, dowhill sliding, ALL of that was done on wide oldschool boards back in the 80s, before any of this misconception about "longboarding" even existed.

Awesome.

1st off, the abec rating is nothing more than the tolerancing of the bearing, it has nothing to do with speed or quality, it only makes a diff in machinery and zero diff in skateboarding, it's just a marketing gimmick in skating. 2nd, freespinning your wheels doesn't tell you squat about the spee...

@DippyDu I'm just explaining my point. I don't see anything not "chill" about my comments.

@djphilmore Oh sure, and sniper rifles came before guns, and cruise ships came before boats. Longboards ARE skateboards. And no, the first ones weren't longboards, they were small. "longboards" are just long skateboards.

This is awesome stuff. He clearly has his own style, and is very innovative. And to top it off, he's wearing a Tracker shirt.

@belikewater001 Well that's very odd. But I don't go by whatever a few companies might say. But it was widely recognized that the difference was in length, and the 36" mark was even official at one time. Sorry, but I will never accept the idea that the standard 31"-33" double kick, hard wheeled "...

@longboardsarecool That is most definately a longboard. Contrary to popular belief, there is only one factor that constitutes a longboard, and that's deck LENGTH, nothing more. A longboard is simply a skateboard that is at least 36" in length. Anything and I mean anything below that measurement i...
