My fiancé has a Stella Longboard. I just bought my first longboard it’s a San Clemente Longboard 39” Tribal Double Drop Complete Set from a skate shop online based in Bristol, PA called Barking Spyder Pro Shop. I originally ordered that longboard from Zumiez but they suggested I cancelled my order since they said the longboard I ordered was a pre-sell item and they didn’t have it in stock also, they didn’t know when it would be back in stock.

[@williamstoneman6977]

I think the longboard I made myself feels better than any commercial board i've tried. Also i can put a design on the top of my board so people can see the design .

[@CanadianBoardCrew]

what wood did you use? im making one out of baltic birch right now

[@williamstoneman6977]

i used a type of plywood that is really nice

[@jakewalker6355]

my question is that I'm new to longboarding and i was wondering which one i should use for riding around the sidewalks with my friends and just cruising around

[@CanadianBoardCrew]

A drop thru is generally better for just riding around because it takes less effort to push, although there is a higher chance of scratching the graphic on the bottom because it's closer to the ground. That doesn't affect the board in any way though. I would go for a drop thru

[@gwendolyncheong8889]

You two are so funny! Should do a comedy show. Woody lol

[@CanadianBoardCrew]

+Liyuan Cheong thank you! that would be fun

[@Tobyvanderlinden]

Thank you so much, you guys have a Dutch fan haha. Do you think the riviera Mayan myth drop thru is a good board for me?

[@MrDjmarf]

Nee

[@Tobyvanderlinden]

Thank you so much, you guys have a Dutch fan haha. Do you think the riviera Mayan myth drop through is a good board for me? Or do you think you know a better board? I don't wanna have a board that costs much more than the Mayan myth

[@CanadianBoardCrew]

That board could be good. If you're going fast you'll generally want a stiff deck. I would recommend checking out the original freeride 41. Your best option is to go to a board shop and stand on a few decks to find out which one you find the most comfortable and best.

[@WomenThrowinLeather]

This is awesome. You guys are hilarious. Hey what kind do I get for just cruising along the beach?

[@CanadianBoardCrew]

+D.Allen there's two board styles i would recommend, either a drop deck or a pintail. A drop deck will be way more comfortable to push and cruise, but theres a good chance you'll bottom out at some point. Pintails are more for people who care about style, but they take more effort to push with. It really comes down to personal preference. I would recommend going to a board shop and standing on a few deck to see which you like the most.

[@WomenThrowinLeather]

[@nobodyknows6280]

Is a landyachtz top speed 36 inch with bear grizzly trucks venom bushings and cult classic wheels good for downhill

[@CanadianBoardCrew]

+Daniel Foor Thats a great board for downhill and the trucks are decent too, especially if you flip the hangar. Those wheels aren't good for downhill, they are better for sliding and freeride. maybe go with a monster hawg or a centrax if you want to do downhill or racing

[@jerryzh0u]

This was hilarious

[@iemand2441]

Do you guys know if you can make a drop thru out of an existing top mounted board?

[@CanadianBoardCrew]

I wouldn’t recommend it, because there wouldn’t be much board left to stand on. You’d need to remove too much length for the wheel cutouts. Unless you plan on using some really long pintail But sure it’s possible lol

[@iemand2441]

@@CanadianBoardCrew thank you😁

[@Oddman1980]

Many moons ago, when I was but a lad, I had a skateboard. It had tiny wheels, which was the style. I said it should have larger wheels, to roll down the road easier, and a longer deck, for stability.. And of course I was told how silly that idea was, how could I do any tricks?! 25 years later, I see these skateboards that are 40 inches long with 80 mm wheels, and I find myself vindicated. I've ordered one myself, a Rimable 41 inch drop-deck. What say you, longboarding public? Opinions on a drop-deck longboard for a guy who has actual children of his own, even a wife, all of whom will point out that I shouldn't have a skateboard?

[@artistsometimes2729]

[@Yolthe]

I'm a big fan of jelly boards. What do you guys think of them?

[@CanadianBoardCrew]

never heard of them

[@LongBoardingAlberta]

I have a woody ;)

[@madijeno5396]

I'm a beginner rider, looking just for a board to cruise with. I'm not sure I guess if length matters, I know for snowboarding which I do, it does. But I've been thinking about getting a pintail, I just don't want it to be terribly long. Any advice.

[@CanadianBoardCrew]

Madison Streigle length for cruising does matter. a longer board will not be able to turn as sharp or as quick. if you want a pintail style board that isnt overly long i would suggest; the Arbor fish 38, landyachtz Totem or the original pintail 40

[@jeremynewcombe3422]

Orange-shirt does both the best and worst impression of Troy McClure at the same time.

[@2kjae789]

I want to to cruise but I also want to go down hill sometimes and slide, what board do you recommend me getting

[@CanadianBoardCrew]

Don't get shark wheels! As far as decks go, u would recommend a top mount that is 36 inches less. That will make learning to slide easier and maintain some cruising comfort

[@samantha7576]

I'm buying a longboard tomorrow and I want to know if a pintail will be good for me all I wanna do is cruise around the neighborhood and go on adventures

[@CanadianBoardCrew]

If that is what you want, go for it. For cruising you can't go wrong with a pintail. They are more comfortable to ride if the deck is more flexible. And I wouldn't suggest getting one over 46 inches long.

[@CanadianBoardCrew]

Or if you're a shorter person, don't get one over 44 inches long

[@deathghost6303]

Its top mount time "throws the board"

[@demitriavallentgoed2829]

thanks so much! Now I am getting the land yachtz board 9 two 5. At least I think thats how you spell it

[@CanadianBoardCrew]

its a great board! just keep in mind how long the wheelbase is. What style of riding are you planing to do?

[@demitriavallentgoed2829]

CanadianBoardCrew I want to do freestlyle and downhill mostly

[@CanadianBoardCrew]

It'll be a good board for you

[@jmansang412]

Dang yall funny. Can you guys make a video of 100mm wheels? I want to see how good the wheels are for cracky roads!!!!

[@jamieisaac4016]

What board would you get to go around sharp turns?

[@CanadianBoardCrew]

nearly anything would work as long as the wheel base isnt too long. Anything over 40 inches is a no-no. Ideally 36 inches or under would be good, if you want to do sharp turns. The trucks also matter as well. the higher the degree on the baseplate, the more you'll be able to turn.

[@jokezspeedruns9679]

Mute the video-turn on captions

[@hakangencer]

still very usefull :)

[@Menacingg]

What size long board should a 12 year old shortish person get?

[@CanadianBoardCrew]

Brickbuilder 777 That fully depends on what you want to use it for. If you're just cruising, generally longer boards, 38+ inches are the most comfortable. If you want to do some free riding you might want one below 38 so it's easier to kick out

[@Menacingg]

Ok thanks man

[@itzblu855]

I VOTE #TEAMDROPTHRU

[@Tobyvanderlinden]

I want to make long trips on high speed, I also wanna make quick rides betwees my houses and rides to school etc. What board do y'all advise? I am not a really good boarder. this will be the first board i'll buy. Maybe a drop through? or...

[@CanadianBoardCrew]

A drop thru would be a good choice. Since they usually have long wheel bases it will be more stable at higher speeds and due to the deck being lower you will find it easier to push and stay balanced. If you want to go fast/ travel for long distances it is really important to get abec 7 rated bearings. They will make your wheels spin better. I would also recommend a wheel with a diameter above 70mm. I hope this helps :)

[@lukebyfield2725]

CanadianBoardCrew abec dosent mean anything

[@CanadianBoardCrew]

luke byfield the number after it does. its a rating of how smooth it rolls. the abec rating means a lot bro

[@lukebyfield2725]

yeah but if you actually do engineering abec is not a real term its just something made up for skateboarding so that they can sell bearings

[@jarednadeau9412]

CanadianBoardCrew The Abec rating is a rating pertaining to the quality of the CNC machining used in the making of the bearing components, it does NOT equal speed. Just for example I have Abec 5 grease balls that roll faster than a set of my Abec 7 bearings. If you really want to get bearings that are worth while and have amazing speed go with Zealous bearings.

[@edvardsdreimanis6579]

Everything is great guys, except the audio. Maybe try to buy better mic and get better audio. Plus audience likes video with good audio, not like some random talking in to the phone mic. Great job. And thank you!

[@GABGAB247]

Kay. So I've never tried a longboard in my life. I'm a super noob to this all and I've tried to ripstick on three occasions and I've fallen. BUT, I reeeeeaaaaally want to learn how to longboard so I can get from point A to point B. I don't understand half of the jargon y'all used but I don't intend to learn tricks or anything. What do you guys recommend?

[@CanadianBoardCrew]

For just commuting nearly any longboard will work. Since you won't be going crazy fast you should get one with a little bit of flex in the deck (so it can bend). That makes it more comfortable to ride. I can't say what's best for you since you're not sure what you want. Are there any more details you could give me?

[@digestfunny9351]

+Gari Chutney You should get a nice cruiser like a sector 9 sidewinder cuz it's cheap and nice for cruising but any cruiser will be fine(you can always go to your local skate shop and ask them for a nice cruiser that's their job)

I'm planning to buy a longboard for dancing can you suggest me which one should I buy. my budget is 100 to 120 pounds.

[@CanadianBoardCrew]

Admittedly, I don't know a whole lot about dancing. But i do know that a relatively long deck is ideal, more than 40 inches. A somewhat flexible deck that almost feels bouncy should be good too. Sorry for not being much help.

[@thatoneguy698]

I'm new to longboarding. Is there a best type of wheel/truck/deck style for sliding. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

[@CanadianBoardCrew]

ThatOneGuy there is to definitive best, but let me tell you what would make it better wheels: anything with rounded or beveled lips with a contact patch relatively small, under 35mm trucks: trucks that have a lot of turn (50 degrees or more). personally, i like to ride mine really loose with not much bounciness deck: decks are all personal preference. I find top mounts are easier to slide because you can push slides out easier. if you get a choice of grip tape, go with the most grippy stuff possible! welcome to the longboard community! feel free to ask anything else.

[@cristianrodriguez1782]
