I know I'm late to the party, but just wanted to say that having 6 boards(as of now), I've experimented myself. I've tried this with my Powell Peralta Jay Smith Re-issue and it worked great, I think I ran the same wheels on it and it just made the board feel better when carving. Also what makes a good difference is swapping out bushings. Depending on what I'm feeling for I'll swap the bushings for either harder/softer to get the ride I want for the day. As of right now, my main board is a Landyatchz Switchblade 2018 with Indy 215, Orangatang Caguamas 77a 85mm with Zelaous Ceramic Built-in Bearings, and Bones Hardcore Medium bushings. Its a really low to the grown being that the board is a double drop, plus I'm using traditional trucks, making pushing and commuting a breeze and easy on the knees. Despite the board being 40" long, its still nimble enough to get around clusters of people and with a quick swap of bushings, can handle a decent amount of speed going in a straight line(don't recommend going downhill with it though, not enough leverage to get it to slide and slow down properly, learned that the hard way). Definitely look into bushings as well and just having a spare parts to mess around. It definitely makes skating more interesting knowing you have something just for every occasion.

I did something similar and made a custom cruiser setup for my daughter and then ended up having so much fun on it, that I made one for myself. It got me back into skating after a 10 year hiatus. I took an old 10x30” deck, Krux black widow 9.00” trucks, 74mm wheels and I splurged on some bone Swiss bearing which are 100% worth it. The bearings were the key. I feel like I’m on an electric board.. I push once and it rolls forever. I like it cause I can take it to the skate park and ride the bowls and not feel like I’m on a boat like it was with my longboard.

Good job. . Make your own ride bro.I started skating in the late 1960s with STEEL wheels.I still skate but mostly cruise.Ive seen it all and 99% of it started with crazy ideas so GO FOR IT.

I've got a 34" pigtail cruzer with bear 5.01 trucks and its the funnest thing I've ever ridden. Extremely tight turning and overall great feeling

Hi, if whellbase is less than 3 chacras then you should use tkp.

thinking about getting some Venture 5.2 highs and putting them on my dinghy with the hawgs 63mm fattys.. what you think?? or should i just get the 130mm polar bears? the 105s are just too narrow for my comfort.

Nice vid, and if you put a bear polar 130mm, its fits better than a regular 105 on a dinghy?

I’m still loving the dinghy😂🤣😂🤣. Totally worth it, get it from Stoked.

I did this with a 9’ street deck and it works fine, only issue is speed wobble which may be because of the trucks i have.

Interesting! I gotta try this as well. Didnt think you'd be able to mount the drop through trucks on a board like that

I put these trucks on my board and it's 36" long. No wheel bite but at speed going down a hill they can be shaky and dangerous unless really tight. I will try it more but so far it has been dicey.

I did this with my landyachtz board and caliber trunks last year it's been a great Alt to just skateboard trucks

Good to experiment 🔬

Hell yeah man! 15 years ago when I was 15 I did this. Changed my life haha!

Here in Brazil we have a category of skateboard that is not a cruiser or mini, not a street or a longboard, it's what you are doing on this video and it's called semi long or half long, bigger than street, smaller than Longboards but w longboard trucks and wheels, and they're marketed and sold as "semi longs" I'm looking forward to buy one next week

Is it OK doing simple Ollies to go up curbs w it or would you tackle curbs without Ollies like Longboards do?

I've always ran 9 inch independents with krooked zipzingers that was about 7.5width 30 inch length, on 63mm wheels, you have to have a width stance when u push, to not kick the wheels but u get mad stability on hills, high speeds, and high agility in a compact package, I dont use risers cuz they make pushing harder, and I'm a pretty light guy so I dont have issues with wheel bite, but if ur a heavier dude then maybe risers. Overall this setup is fukin killer, but the down side is completes dont have this build, so ur gunna have to buy ur parts independently, also you really have to dial everything in from the bushings, ur truck slack, all of cuz wheel bite = death

3:52 I have a Santa Cruz- Jeff Kendall board. And I have my old sector 9 trucks and wheels. It turns way too sharp. And I eat shit.. so, in a few weeks. I'm getting either 125 or 150mm skate truck. And some smaller wheels..

Dudeeee it would be sick if you did like a full workout series

Today i find out about a landyachtz 9.5 x 40.2 longboard w/ 130mm truck, the fact that It fit perfecly is something i cant comprehend

Im setting one up today lol my old long board trucks on a new old skool deck with 54 mm 100a wheels

What brand are the trucks? 180mm reverse kingpin? I would suggest 150mm reverse kingpin for a cruiser (or equivalent in inches for other brands like gullwing 8.5) that's below 9 inch board width. And what measurement are the risers? I couldn't find your boards wheelbase online. I'm thinking about getting a sector nine 31.5 x 8.6 x 14.25 and adding Paris v2/v3 150mm (or close to it like 165mm) reverse kingpins. I gotta add risers to compensate wheel bite. I personally don't like having street trucks on cruisers because I don't do tricks but like the maneuverability. But I heard if you're wheelbase is less than 17 or 20 it's a "bad idea" to add reverse kingpin trucks. So I'm not sure. I even thought of doing a RKT in the front and have Paris street in the back for a cruiser.

I recently bought an ultra carve tugboat. It's literally this, a LY tugboat but with RKP polar trucks. Ironically, I wish it felt more stable because i love taking it on ramps at the skatepark because it can carve so well. I even tried tightening the trucks and it actually felt less stable. Not sure but going to keep tweaking it because the turn radius when your carving on quarter pipes is unreal.

NASA wants to Know ur location bro HAHAHAHA 🇩🇴

Omg I literally just ordered 180mm trucks to go with my tugboat deck and orangatang skiffs so I’m glad I didn’t make a huge mistake not getting a complete instead

300 subs? you deserve 300k my guy

nice!

*Now it looks like a Landyachtz Tugboat! (Big size of Dinghy)*

Your voice is so soothing!

You should do running tips

It’s my Boy!!!! CHYA!

This board with precision slalom trucks would be better. Waaaay more stable with a back baseplate at under 20 degrees 😂

is it just me or is his voice insanely soothing

One of those things where it like “yeah, it works, but it looks so bad I’m still not gonna do it…”

Whoop whoop!!! Letsssss goooo!!! You should do tik tok dances on the longboard!!😝😆💙👀🤣

do itttttttt

Wait. This is a home made dinghy blunt lmao.

Minecraft church

Surfskate like

can you ollie on this?

dinghy trucks on a longboard

Here is your deodorant🖱 and scissors✂️ to cut your hair😁

Bbc i thought i should hop on the wagon

Bbc Im way too late to the vids

Say what

Смотрится не очень, ркп 130е биры будут по лучше, я бы так сделал

When you look 20 but sound 12.

So you did a truck swapping test and never mentioned the turning differences. It didn’t look like you did anything but cut a straight swath across the parking lot either. Not only that, but when you stated you didn’t experience wheel bite you failed to include the fact that the board is barely even as wide as the gap between the wheels- so of course you’re not going to get bite. Your board probably has an extra 5° of lean because a proper setup would have a matching deck width, where the deck actually has an opportunity to touch the wheel. Hope you had fun, but this really is a dangerous setup for multiple reasons- sketchy turning at speed and foot-to-wheel bite (especially if foot braking, but also while pushing) among them. Hopefully nobody copied you and got hurt. You should probably pull this video before someone does.

I’m younger than him and my voice is deeper
