Excellent video explaining the different nuances. I'm looking into getting a longboard and using a gas leaf blower for thrust 😂 Figure I'll make an adjustable shoulder sling for the blower with a guitar strap and some rope, keep some extra gas in a backpack. I have absolutely NO interest in tricks, ollies, dancing, hills, high speeds, or even carving....just want to casually scoot along and enjoy the ride at a moderately slow pace! After watching your video, I think the most important features for me to look for are a drop down deck and wide trucks for stability, big, soft wheels to smooth out the ride and so that rocks won't be such a problem, and also have the board cutout around the wheels, not that I plan on carving but in case I do need to take a sharp turn I don't have to worry about the wheel rubbing the board. Like others have commented, I'm 40. So I'm not trying to get crazy with it or risk busting my ass. I know you don't recommend cheap Amazon boards, but for my minimalistic intentions I think a $50 board would suffice just fine for getting from point A to B 🤷‍♂️. I would plan on upgrading/replacing the wheels and bearings, maybe even get all-terrain wheels. I'm not even 100% sure that I'll actually get a longboard, it's all theoretical at this point, but I'm doing my research.

Great video buddy 👊🏻 I’m just looking into what style of board I want so this was really helpful info. New subscriber ✌🏻

Awesome video, I really wanted to learn some skateboard tricks but I rode my friends skateboard and on the road it slows down so much so I wanted something that I could cruise with easily but still learn some tricks on so thank you for all the different board information!

Nice video Nick, you have a great non biased opinion. 🤙

Very informative video, thank you. Your channel is so underrated it's a shame.

Super informative video. Thank you

Excellent video 👍

Same. Turning 40 and I scooped up a long board. I think I'm going to stick with long no plan to do tricks but. Hill bombing looks fun

Thanks for this Nick! I’m looking at doing dancing. I was checking the description box and I couldn’t see a link that leads me to a specific board for dancing. Anyway, is there a particular one you’d recommend me? I haven’t started learning, I don’t have a board and I’m willing to buy in the US and have it shipped here in Manila where I live. New fan, Brad

I am almost 40 and just now getting into longboarding (with my 8 year old son who has a kid's cruiser board). I set my Magneto Bamboo drop through 9"x42" cruiser board with Gullwing Charger 9" 50 degree trucks (with whatever bushings they came with), Blood Orange Morgan Pro 82a wheels and Grizzly Abec 9 bearings. My hope was to have a cruiser that I might be able to learn small slides with to goof off as I'm riding. Any thoughts on this setup based on my philosophy of use? Thanks!

dang only 3k views? this is underrated. Im kinda looking for something just to cruise and do one or two tricks. also im fully a begginer so ive heard its better to have a longer skateboard. if some of you have some recommendations.. please let me know (would be good if its under 100$)

Do you like your apex 40? That's a board I've been eyeballing for years but never pulled the trigger on it. I do pretty much exclusively freeride but it would be rad to have a board I can tigerclaw on again.

How's the Apex line with TKPs? Looks like you have TKPs on your concave. What width you running? Thinking about setting up a lightweight freestyle/cruiser setup with a avRocker 34 and paris street 169s, but not sure if I should just go with Paris v3s

I dont think i seen you do a review on any mfg longboards can you on the rum runner or some freestyle boards

Hey do you know of any under 100$ boards that are still pretty good for their cheap price? Or any on Amazon that you think are good? I just tried my friends longboard and it’s super fun.

Yes i have a cruiser down hill board for commuting but i want to learn how to dance on a longboard. I've gotten comfortable with my current one to the point we're i ride one foot

I love your video! I have two kids and I am learning it. I am not bad for a beginner. Could you please eight down the information for the best cruising,lower, great wheels, flexible....? Even thought you say on the video I can get the name right? So you know also where can I buy it? Adriana T.

I need some help deciding. I’m completely new to longboards. I’m 230lbs but athletic and want to land paddle maybe also a board that I can upgrade some big wheels that can roll through small gravel or dirt in the future. No tricks or flip kicks or anything like that. Just cruising around a park or pavement. Thanks.

First off great boards, second when can I actually buy one?? They've been sold out for months!

What boards are those on your wall!? They look sick!

What would you recommend for a person who is transitioning to regular skateboarding that hasn’t had experience doing stunts (dancing)?.

I really want to cruise and dance. Someone stole my board that was perfect for both but since it was a gift I have no idea what it was. What do you think is best for cruising (not too many hills) and dancing mind you I live in a city

If i want a longboard for cruising, but stil want to be mobile, wich one would be best? I'm quite tall guy, about 6ft2

Nice flag brother! Hello from a Brazillian guy

Have you ever used any of the loaded boards for cruising? how are they?

I offically no longer know what kind of board I have. It has no concave. It's shaped more like a dance board but it's kicktails are flat. Supposedly it's a cruise board but legends say it's a piece of shit. I'm gonna keep learning on it anyway.

I was looking at some longboards by “retrospec” but I heard they have a couple flaws. I wanna get into longboarding but I want a board that is good and not to cheap or expensive.

I’m getting back in long boarding and I just got a 27 inch penny board, how would y’all rate a board like that

Nice

Can u still dance on LONG pintail boards? Im getting a board soon and I really want to cruise and dance.

hey do you know if the Rift Zed 44" Longboard is good?

Nick: "You want something shorter for freestyle" Me: *laughs in Korean*

Whats your opinion on the dervish sama?

Brasillllll 🔥 🔥 🔥

Yehhhh boiiii

Here i am watching even cant afford one

Are you going to sycld 2021 ?

I'm interested in freeride and in doubt between the apex 34 and the apex 37. My actual board is 38,5" and I think the slides would come easyer in a shorter board. Any advice?

Can drop deck boards handle heavy guys?

Which board do you suggest for someone that falls alot 😅 asking for a friend

Mainly to do tricks at the skatepark (and dont say get a skateboard)

chris delia looks so much better now that he's sober

I don't know why everyone wants to display their mannerisms like they just got out of jail..... Thanks for the Longboard intro, though

E

Take my all money for a new mic🙏😂
