How to Assemble A Skateboard/Cruiser Component Run Through

We're breaking down all of the components on a Dinghy so you know what it all does and how it works! Everyone who owns a skateboard should know how to put together a setup! It's important if you ever want to change wheels, put in new bearings, swap trucks, or replacing that one piece of hardware that got away! Here's a complete run down of everything you need to know!

I just wanted to say, I started to learn sliding on my old Madrid top mount 38". It was a budget longboard not really made for sliding, but I didn't want to buy anything expensive until I knew I was dedicated. I made my own set of slide gloves with a pair of winter gloves, 2 really hard rocks, and a sh*t load of hot glue. I learned how to do a push up shutdown slide pretty quickly and later a pushup 180. After a while I was feeling ready for a new challenge, so I took up trying to learn standup heelside 180s. Took me 3 days of LOOOOOOOOOONG sessions, and I landed my first. Hadn't felt that kind of excitement since I learned how to ride a bike as a kid. I still hadn't perfected it though, and while trying to impress a girl one day, I failed miserably and the board went under a bus. I was really sad because the thing had been with me for 7 years, but glass half full, I chose to see it as a sign from the universe that I was ready for a real board. I had been eyeing the Switchblade ever since I read everywhere that it was the perfect freeride board for beginners, and also a favored choice by pros. I was also interested in getting a drop through because they are so fun! I mustered up what little money I had and ordered one from one of your lovely dealers that were close to me (SickBoards.nl; check them out if you're close, they're super duper great and nice). I stood up all night waiting on delivery day because I was so damn excited I couldn't sleep. When I opened that package, I was in awe of the quality... everything was so damn gorgeous. The graphic, the wheels, the griptape, everything was so sleek! I didn't even want to take it out for a run, just wanted to hang it on the wall. But I knew there was nothing sadder than keeping a beast in a cage. So I immediately got my slide gloves, put on a pair of shoes I didn't care about and went riding through my entire town. I was absolutely in love. Sliding felt like floating, riding felt like flying and going downhill felt like freedom. The board gave me one of the best summers of my life. And because of it, I found out about a skate shop that's 10 min away from me, that I never knew about (BoardLife.se; I also recommend these wonderful guys). Even though I've lived here for 12 years! Went there to get some shockpads and wax for the pivot cups, but also met some of the nicest people ever that invited me to local longboard and skateboard events. I'd been solo for years because there's not much going on where I live, it's pretty slow, but thanks to your magical board, all that changed. Now, I've learned how to do heelside shutdowns, just got down mastering a switch standup heelside 180 and I'm learning how to do pendys while going downhill. Truly, from the bottom of my heart, thank you Landyachtz. Thank you for making me feel like a little kid again.

I know how to assemble already. Landyachtz just makes good videos

[@CrumbsTaco]

Same here man, also these boards looks nice as hell man

[@kudacz1537]

Same

[@craigmitchell8892]

Couldnt be happier with my Dinghy, those hawgs slide so damn easy but grab onto the road when you need it the most.

[@zmby6785]

hey man, could you please explain the difference between Fatty Hawgs vs Chubby Hawgs? I've been riding the Dinghy for about three years and I still have no idea 😅

[@WilliamRivera343]

@@zmby6785 Chubby Hawgs are 60mm with a 45mm contact patch while Fatty Hawgs are 63mm with a 50mm contact patch.

[@zmby6785]

@@WilliamRivera343 what's a "contact patch"??

[@zmby6785]

oh wait is that the width of the wheel? like how thick it is?

[@WilliamRivera343]

@@zmby6785 Yes, contact patch is the width of the wheel that touches the ground.

[@melindaboomer6471]

Damn! I ordered my new dinghy too soon! I would have ordered it in pieces to get the free skate tool and assemble it on my own!

[@serps2833]

Great video as always

[@jules.mp4]

love the TPB reference with the rakon/akorn thing

[@alexandermartin2713]

Alex is the chillest.

[@queeny5613]

Awesome vid

[@giannabarret9262]

Beautiful board indeed 💯🔥🔥🔥😍

[@mtrybu]

great board!

[@paulsamuels5637]

I’ve got this exact blunt only mines in light wood color. I’ve got three boards but I ride this one the most.

[@Infinity_Orca]

You live the life that I can only dream of

[@nickamarit]

Won't using the axle nuts to help finish mounting bearings into the wheels generate additional side load on the bearings?

[@stonex55]

can you do a video comparison of the ceramic spaceballs bearings?

[@Theleaver5088]

Nice video. Certainly helps

[@clayshmeow]

I have that exact same cruiser haha i love it

[@TheSkySurge]

Can we assemble our own longboards soon? I'd love to customize a drop carve in 2022!

[@Martin_Jou]

Will the cheese grater 2.0 come back? I really want to buy one buy can’t find it anywhere.

[@blitz8436]

If i was to turn my street board into a cruiser how thick should my riser pads be?

[@yoflo3002]

epic mullet

[@joshuadugan1931]

I need some 10in Polar Bears for my bowl board...

[@shylowZ]

what size riser pad do you recommend

[@maximilianzaff2822]

hi guys i have a question i wanna order a blaze pt but only the deck will it still come with griptape applied?

[@SDprojectDAZE]

i do believe the built in space bearing adds a speed element to slight advantage the non built in space bearing ...

[@krishnansrinivasan830]

Awesome & Thanks :)

[@notthatgood3626]

Never skated a day in my life. And if i wasnt a klutz this video would get me to skate

[@evorider3689]

Try it anyway, you might find that you will do fine. Otherwise you will be missing out on a lot of fun!

[@SDprojectDAZE]

spacers seem like a good thing for longboard type builds ......

[@snikrats]

nice background music btw

[@yungkid7758]

is there a way to do that in germany/eu because shipping to me would cost 90 euros wtf...

[@hopetonmitchell6774]

What size are those trucks?

[@evorider3689]

130mm.

[@mh7200]

I Love your Boards (own one myself) and its a Perfect Video but in my opionion you Dont have to tight up the wheels so strong. If you lose Them just a bit, they will roll much better

[@jamesxyz]

wait. tightening the wheels as MUCH as it'll go?? :O

[@Landyachtz]

You don't have to but it's one way to get the bearing in the wheel if you're struggling

[@SDprojectDAZE]

those are unique cruiser board trucks or from what i hear hazard trucks?11 8 holes first time witnissin' tht?11 yee dat skee skee

[@SDprojectDAZE]

sha-ba-la-boopty skrrt skrrt!!

[@Patrick_Andrews917]

Rubber riser pads also make a board ride much smoother

[@whatyoujustwatched]

Not too late to fix the typo in the thumbnail 😅

[@Landyachtz]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@jeremymast]

HE SAID RAKINS

[@Johnyx4000]

70mm on dinghy? Too big?

[@WilliamRivera343]

Should be fine if you go with a 1/2" riser and swap out the bushings for some that fit your weight (RipTide and Venom have bushing durometer guides based on weight). Keep in mind that aftermarket bushings don't always sit properly in the Bear trucks that come on Landyachtz. I am using 129mm Paris Street trucks on my Dinghy Blunt with 72mm Powell-Peralta Kevin Reimer wheels and RipTide Krank barrel bushings.

[@jellybob2pointo]

Oh! Looky there. All the same parts and processes as for any other skateboard. Who would've thought? 🤣You guys are slaves to the algorithm.
