Shred Shack any board from loaded really

It you are just a beginner just go with a Punked board they are complete board set ups that are honestly good quality for a fair price. It’s a start for someone looking for longboarding starter kit.

Justin Milligan no I’m not a beginner I just like reviews for loaded boards and there are far and few in between and I really like how the guy review boards that’s why I want him to review any loaded boards

Justin Milligan and lmaoooooooooooooooo no go for a landyachtzs board instead for the price you’re getting the absolute best quality and if you can get the FG watercolor that extra layer of fiberglass is amazing and also the wheels the wheels are incredible

Yo would u consider doing a review on the 44” quest super cruiser

Lol I learned how to balance by going down hills

Same lol

Ong same

Me living in switzerland ;-;

just think your learning curve, now looks like the streets you live on, faster then most do

Stoked to hear that!

@@concrete-waves same here, you made a great video mate

i skateboard and im not interested in starting to longboard but still found this enjoyable. haha

@@fajer1888 it is

So then why did u click on the vid

Right on

That’s what mine looks like except it’s not clear

It’s the ghost longboard. I was looking at that but they are kind of expensive and I should probably learn how to ride first ...

Ikr😂😂

Agreed.

@@spaghettirantanen2187 $180 isn’t that bad broskie

Thanks for watching anyways! Really appreciate it

Me too! Waiting on my Landyachtz

Lol same

Exact same lmao

Same I’m waiting on my platypus pine sky

Also heck yea go used! There’s plenty of boards out there sitting in peoples garages collecting dust and they’ll probably be just as good if not better than an amazon board

Haha it's crazy! The majority of sites are selling Amazon boards

For real. I finally stopped looking on there, went on to various forums before finally finding my Landyachtz Stratus. 100% worth the $200 I spent on it. It's perfect for me and anything I want to do with it

Awesome! How would you say the stock bearings were on the Sector Pintail?

@@concrete-waves how do you stop your board downhill and I’m trying to get to school fast

@@khangkieu2610 you'd slide. I believe there is one to fully stop but that i think is for more moderite speeds. there are ones for more high speeds but that just slows you down.

​@@khangkieu2610 research "how to stop a longboard downhill"

Do you think pintail beats a dancing or hammer head shaped longboard? I can't decide

Thanks man! Yeah, I'm stoked!!

I got a longboard from "Spiele-Max" (a German company for kid's toys) few years ago and it costs only 40 euros. I mean, I can use it, but I think a good board will be a much better experience

How are you doing 2 years later? We need an update! Unless you died 😅

Nope didn’t died just yet 🤗 but I have not yet moved to California to bomb hills yet! I’ve got 5 long boards now and really love the Shark Wheels they have made life easier on me!

​@@EricMims-wj9jk the dementia is kicking in

This is really solid insight Mike, thanks for sharing. It's all about progression !!

I absolutely agree! I bought a ZFlex Pintail for my first time, and was having difficulties with that off the bat. Then I bought the Landyachtz Drop Cat, a Sector 9 Drop through, and now riding that top mount zFlex is no problem at all. (I love it now that I've got down carving) Also bought my first "short" board not too long ago (Landyachtz Dugout), so I can tackle shorter styles, but trying different boards has definitely built my skill up 100%.

I'm a fan of cheap, used, and even low quality stuff for starting out in most things. It's a learning experience. If you're not too invested or attached to your board because it's an old beater or cheap deck, it's easier to find the things you don't like about it, or you think you don't. You won't feel as compelled to like it just because you spent $500 on top tier stuff that doesn't fit your size, weight, or riding style but the hype told you is the 'best'. Once you get to know what you like and don't like by feel and function then you'll be able to choose the board that's right for you. A LOT of it is individual though, and that's why there's so many options. There is no 'best' overall board that you can buy without experience. The 'best' board is the one that you feel is an extension of you, with nothing extra and nothing missing, regardless of brand or discipline. Try to ride or at least stand on as many boards as possible, ask your friends who skate if you can feel their board out. Stand on it and notice how your feet fit, how the concave feels, and how much of what kind of concave it has. If you can (and if you have basic skills like pushing and turning), roll around a bit and notice how tight or wide it turns or carves. Try to notice what different heights of boards feel like, and trucks as well. Different brands of trucks perform differently, none are any better than the other generally, but if you like to carve then some trucks will dive into the carve and give you a surfy, flowy feel at low speeds. On the other hand some riders (like myself) HATE feeling any dive or dip in the turn, and will look for trucks and bushings that eliminate it. Be aware of it. Does the board feel like it gets higher or lower in a carve? Do you like it? And that's the big question to ask when you try ANY board, do YOU like it? Does it fit? Is the concave comfortable? Does it have a nose or tail and do you use them? Does dive feel good or bad? Ride as much different stuff as you can and remember what feels good. Remember WHY it felt good, what you like about the size, shape, concave, flex, stiffness, and all the other details and look for boards with those features for any serious purchase. If you're so new to skating that you can't so much as push, then get any borrowed or secondhand board that will fit under your feet and learn to just get comfortable standing on it. Stand on it indoors on a rug and just pretend you're rolling while you watch youtube videos. Just get used to feeling the board under you, the trucks leaning, and eventually your body will figure out what to do. Binge watch something while standing on your board and you'll soon find a comfortable stance that feels natural.

Ahh the same mindset as drawing using different boards is like using different mediums and learning an entirely new skillset.

@@Daniel-tx2vt Pretty much, just extend that to everything. Personally i like the cheap, basic, or manually operated stuff when starting out in almost anything because it forces you to learn to overcome challenges early and adapt before you develop muscle memory. You encounter problems and break stuff, and when you do, you learn a lot more about the subject by having to apply theory to solve a problem, increasing your own knowledge and experience in the subject. The biggest benefit though is by doing this i learn to deal with limitations and problems, and find out WHY better or more specialized equipment is worth it, or right for me.

Dose it work really good on a rough surface

@@annabanana4752 it depends on the wheels, if you wanna ride on a rough surface buy softer wheels (around 80 A or so)

That’s what I did I saw the one I liked and got it. I didn’t even look at any other boards lol.

like Harry Potter :D

When feel is real you make the deal!

That’s what I did, I grabbed one based on the graphics

Thanks, I really appreciate that!

Bish, Bash Bosh - you found it.

@@concrete-waves Found after accident. Did not disappoint. ^^

Can you tell me which one you bought please?

Yes please

Please tell!

please tell me

I wanna know too👀

how's it going so far?

I am also so excited to ride a skate board.. I am 13

How’s it going!!?

Tell us how it’s going!!!!

Dude I'm stokeeddd to hear that. Great suggestion. I agree, that a range of 33-39" is very solid for a beginner. Thanks for watching!

Thanks man, I really appreciate your support. Means a lot!

@@concrete-waves now you have 16,000 a month later your blowing up!

@@concrete-waves the comment aged well

Yup, I completely agree with you. The only time I'd recommend it is if the person doesn't know if they want to get into longboarding. But in most cases, I'd recommend saving up more and avoiding it. Thanks for the suggestion!

Punked is a decent brand I got a sick drop deck. Yea it snapped but that was because I let my friend kickflip it.

Thanks for this comment, I was thinking about buying one 😅

Yeah I have a Santa Cruz longboard just bought it 5 days ago haven’t ridden it cause it’s snowing waiting till summer to ride it I have a land yacht and a random board I bought off of Amazon and that’s the one I use in any weather just waiting for it it snap so much flex just not when I’m bombing hills 😂 I don’t have pintail boards I hate them don’t know why

I just bought a retrospec for 70 mannnnnnnnn

Thanks for watching!

I've had an Arbor longboard too for about 4 years now and they are very smooth, longboard wheels are generally softer than skateboard wheels, which is why I've never preferred skateboards

Dropcruiser is great. Slap some phat 97mm wheels on there for crappy roads.

Dudddee thanks for taking the time to drop this comment. This is super helpful

Only thing I would change is landyachtz to high tier

@@danielfriedman3814 no. Landyachtz boards for the most part are made in China and are cheap easy to reproduce boards. They have some higher end stuff made by locals in Vancouver but the majority of Landyachtz stuff is cheaply made. You will find with most brands they will have a lineup of cheaper boards that are just meant to put boards out the door and make money. Hence the dinghy. They use those boards to make large profit and then will make higher quality more limited boards.

MADRID'S DESIGNS ARE SO RAD TYSM FOR COMMENTING BRO

@@lolno9675 np, check out prism as well. I skate their Hindsight as my daily and I love that thing to death. Prism Skate Co. Is a subsidiary of madrid

Awesome to hear, thanks for sharing this! As long as you’re okay with a smaller deck, then the dinghy will be a really solid next board. Thanks for watching!

its truly an addiction lol, i have 2 i would have more but uh cars are pretty fuckin heavy lmao

Bustin is another I've heard so much about but never tried. Can never go wrong with Muir in my opinion

@@concrete-waves I don't see a double-drop board behind you, so not sure if you have one, but the Sportster would be an awesome board to review. I checked the price again and it's actually more of a top-tier board pricewise. Great videos!

@@ourcore I've actually never tried a double-drop but I'd love to get to it in the future. Thanks for watching!

I’ve had a arbor board for a couple years and it’s honestly been my favorite longboard I own, they are also very sexc

Wow, thanks! Just trying to put out stuff that'll help, so I'm stoked to hear that

Stoked to hear that, thanks so much!! Means a lot

pls tell me which one all of the ones i see are like £100

I know this is 3 years late but I love the Shark Wheels. They are epic

Thanks so much! Appreciate that

Wow, thanks so much for always supporting. Really appreciate it!

what about quest boards are they better then a skateboard for cruising around a town?

Thanks man, stoked to hear that!

Thanks Josh, I appreciate that!

Mannn that means a lot, thank you. Really appreciate that!

I have my 15 year old red bones in my penny nickle board, and they still glide smooth as butter. I've taken them completely apart 3 times, cleaned them with rubbing alcohol, then re-lubed with red bones speed cream.

@@brianfischer5609 I personally love red bones, but I usually dont recommend them to new skaters because of the higher maintenance

The 20 dollar one? Or something else

My first longboard was a retrospec 🥺💞

I got my first and second longboard from there and I love it. I know some people hate their boards but I enjoy their drop through longboards the most.

Really appreciate that! Thanks for the kind words

Yea I got a switchblade and the turning radius has caused some bails but overall it's a great board.

This is awesome info, thanks for taking the time to share this

This is good to hear, I'm not interested in doing more than cruising but I live in a suburban/rural area so I was looking at drop throughs for extra stability on bad roads. But everywhere I've looked when I try to research good cruising ones tells me to just get a minicruiser. Will continue my quest for a dropthrough for cruising!

Wow the most likes I've ever had is 2. Thanks guys lol

@@laurenc1376 I bought a swelltech or state instead

@@laurenc1376 I bought a Swelltech surf skate instead

well shit...I did too..

Yooo thanks Hayden, appreciate that!

already at 9k now, predicting 50k soon the videos are just too high quality not too

Same here, i've been skating for a bit over 40 years now.

@@rustymustard7798 Ok so would you mind helping me out? I'm thinking about buying an "Amazon" board, 120$, from a company called Volador. All the reviews seem to be pretty nice, and I think it's a good board.

@@rajs4012 Personally i don't really have any experience with the brand, but it depends on how serious you are. I'm sure by the reviews that it's decent enough to learn and cruise around on. If you've never skated before it could be worth it, but you've also got to realize that at that price the trucks and wheels will probably be pretty low grade compared to quality cast trucks. If you've never rolled on a board and can accept that you'll need to upgrade as you learn then it seems like a good deal, but if you've skated in the past and have some experience, you might be better off just going with a higher quality complete. Just make sure before you skate it to look at it carefully, inspect the trucks and make sure they're straight, both in the mounting and in the bushings. Check that the pivot cups are flush and the same depth, it's not that uncommon for the baseplates to be machined incorrectly. Make sure the bearings spin without feeling wobbly or chunky. They don't need to spin freely, they're packed with grease so they feel 'stiff' at first, as long as they feel smooth and straight. If everything works then just learn on it, figure out what you like and don't like, and maybe break stuff, replacing it with better quality stuff you KNOW you want as you learn what fits your style. And remember, bushings can be cheaply bought in stiffer and softer durometers, throwing a different set on can change the feel entirely if it feels either too stiff or mushy for your weight and style.

me too. 😆

@@sydneytas oh cool cool, yeah based from what I know it seems like a good choice for beginners.
