[@DoopaVII]

Love the shop. Bought an Amazon board for cheap and will be building my own soon. Love the wide range of options for everything from decks to t shirts.

[@MrManlyBeardyMan]

I really thought there was more to it. I'm glad I know this already. Thanks!

[@sunnymas2656]

Very good description - thank you for this video. greetings from sw-germany (male, 53, longboard + skateboard)

[@AlistairNels]

***** Shot bro! really comprehensive! legend!

[@1ittt]

i really want to know because i've been looking it up everywhere but have found nothing to help so can someone please help me, what trucks would be best for a 6 inch deck? i'm thinking 150mm but they might be too big but i'm not sure so can someone please help? here's the link to the deck: www.amazon.com/dp/B01AIBF6K4

[@spikygoldfish]

Every longboarder should be forced to watch these videos! Then there won't be any more "what trucks/wheels/bearings/deck/etc. should I choose?" questions on every single skating video.

[@glennsak]

I choose my brand of trucks based on large silkscreen t-shirt graphics....

[@jeffdeale1353]

Shaka dude same🤣

[@MichaelAP8p]

This guy is extraordinarily articulate and informative. Thank you.

[@dimitarganev6953]

such a good explanation! Thank you!

[@xleshens1385]

When the only thing you messed up buying was Penny board trucks, and you had a longboard. ( -_-)

[@krissgulbis8627]

HAHA aw man, can't you return them though?

[@creamycreamcheese]

i have no idea what this dude said but imma just go with it

[@noelcampos8290]

Hey there great video my question is I'm new to longboarding and what would you recommend 4 just cruising in parks in boardwalks.

[@lgooch]

Landyachtz dinghy is good and arbor Pilsner. Sector 9 is also good

[@4rnorthwest]

Excellent no nonsense unbiased info, THIS is a great video. Well did! Well....didid.😑👍🏽

[@LaserPingu]

I've only had original trucks, so I have no idea what kind of bushings I should have for my new Gullwing sidewinder 2's. I weigh 92kg / 202 lbs. I don't do sliding or downhill, I only use it as a form of transportation. I live in the city so I need to be able to make really tight turns to dodge people while I cruise down the street but I want it to be steady as well for somewhat higher speed. Someone help me please!

[@LaserPingu]

MerColaPucko I ride the old apex 37 from original sb if that's relevant.

[@LaserPingu]

***** I just ordered them so I'll have to wait for about two- three weeks until I get them. Thanks for the quick response!

[@Dannehhboii]

Okay, genuine question yeah... In your professional opinion - in relation to the above trucks what is low speed? like 5-15km/h or 20-30km/h? (6-9mph or 30-50mph)

[@Felimar85]

Great video! Your explanations are quite useful and complete. I'm setting up my first surfskate, trying to make the best cost x benefit possible. I'm working on a longboard 'carvy and grippy' enough to bring that surf feeling into the streets. Anyway, Im not a longboard expert but my research and your videos are directing me to this possible Set up: Deck: Similar to the Sector 9 Striker, 32 to 38 inches Trucks: Similar to the Gulling Side winder or Carver C7 or CX. Bushings: softs like cone style Wheels: 70 to 75 mm tall, 70 to 80A soft, 50 to 70mm contact, centerset maybe offset with shine skin and sharp lip Am i forgetting anything? can you suggest any decent fair price set up or brand?! Thank you and good job to you all!!

[@austinlewis8477]

The 35in LandYachtz Switch Fox behind you was my favorite/most expensive board. I put thousands of miles on it - I got jumped and it was stolen… Best board I have ever ridden.

[@weaponguy999]

Hey I was just wondering what trucks you would reccomend for Less but still some sliding, riding hills (30-50 mph), freestyle, cruising, some, but little transportation, and flat sessions. Thank you i Dont know much about building longboards

[@isaiahrafaelpena8287]

I am just riding a longboard for just a year and I want to buy a caliber trucks for speed downhill like maybe 70kph what type or what size do I buy?Based on milimeters.

[@coverslautaro]

what is the best freeride trucks? bear 852, caliber, gullwin charge 2 or........? please help me! thanks

[@AndyThomson03]

So I ride a Landyachtz Loco 33 but I want rkps for it. what are small, low angle trucks available? I do free ride and sliding.

[@joerinaldi_music]

Can a Randal R-III 180mm at 50 degrees fit through the opening of the Arbor Axis in Walnut?

[@tremolony4924]

Im putting paris 180 v2 on a 9.75" old skool deck w 54mm 100a wheels and 1/4 " risers

[@nightsound4625]

I am getting hijack downhill division long board would 180 mm Ronin trucks fit the board if the width was 10 inches

[@NiTeNiTe-]

How tight should my truck base be attached to my board. Plz help (Yes im a noob)

[@leighannwhite106]

Great video, I'm new to the skate world and this video was super helpful in understanding different trucks for different purposes. Thanks! Keep up the good work, I'm sure I'll be back for more.

[@aliceohoolahan8848]

The problem I'm having with the cruiser I bought I keep getting wheel bite and I end up duffing it almost got hit by a car lol 😆😁 yeah not cool 😎

[@giorikasnaler28]

i would like to buy a freeride board but i dont know what to choose ... Am thinking something like 37 to 39 inc long , simmetrical with a lock foot . Any ideas ?

[@alexacerra]

I have a 33in long and 9in wide Shut Gnarnad, what size trucks would you recommend??

[@RangerandRick]

I am hoping to use a future longboard for travel i have never had one before but i am hoping to get paris v3 180mm 50° trucks do you think they will be good for getting around from things like work or even just going on things like trails and things while traveling? Im also hoping to get orangutang caguama 85mm wheels to go together with this and bones super reds bearings because from what i have seen they are the best within a certain budget. The paris trucks and the orangutang wheels are what im most worried about as i am using these for commute and need something that can take me over rough concrete and pavement that is not one hundred percent even has some breakage or cracks and from what i have seen the wheels are great for that. Also the board they will be going on is a junli amazon board as i have seen alot of things say that the more expensive ones are actually worse in some cases and i do not have money to get an expensive board just to take it apart and add my own things. It would also cost more money just to get the deck as if the original things that come with the board are good enough i could stick with them for a while. Sorry that this is alot i am just really worried about not getting something that will be good with that im going for and i do not have the money to experiment 😅

[@GhoodVibez]

Would the sidewinders be okay for bombing hills?

[@alexgrinage681]

I must be weird i like it to be more responsive in the back. if any one knows about having the back and front truck response different any advice. I like having it easy to push in the back since i put most wait in the front because i ride a vector 37 the deep concave. Right now i make the bushings in the front tighter and the back loose i did it the other day and love it in gives great response when i want it and i don't have to fight when it's loose and has speed wobble, and when its tight and stiff. So any ideas im thinking of have 2 different Da maybe a size or 2 softer in the back?

[@kerwinfernandes9583]

That's was such a detailed explanation. Thanks and God bless ☺️🙏🏼❤️

[@wolfie_toonz5023]

I know stuff now, thanks

[@Cwork85]

Wow, very comprehensive - thanks Ross! Question. I've been building out my quiver and have been looking for an "all around skate everything" type of board. Certainly been doing a lot of research and I know what I'm looking for. I really like the arbor 44 genesis, but am leaning more towards this loaded overland board I cam across. I basically cruise and freeride most combined with a little downhill at lower speeds. I just moved to an area with much more hills and incline terrain. I definitely want a board with a double kick tail, but also want stability if I choose to hit more downhill at faster speeds (around 30mph). Can you suggest a truck/wheel combo that you think would fit this style of riding? Really appreciate it man! Cheers,

[@Cwork85]

***** Really helpful info. Thanks! You guys are awesome!

[@stephenferebee6486]

Great vid homie

[@TYTY-od6jb]

I just got an Arbor Shakedown what trucks do you think would be good for carving and cruising?

[@moif]

Thanks for the vid. I really like the demo videos you throw in to some of your stuff. You also speak very well - keep the vids coming!

[@azurerathalos9728]

For a 120lb -ish rider, what sort of bushings/trucks should I go for??

[@liameng3625]

Just a general question, when buying trucks, do they come with screws?

[@jacksonsickler8206]

I have sidewinder trucks and I was wondering, if I remove the middle piece would I have a decent down hill truck?

[@cyclepathkilla2540]

What are the orange trucks in this video you are using for examples? And where can I get them?

[@Placebo6]

Its an older video but I currently am going back to downhill, I have a sector 9 - 39.75" with mission 1 tracks (9"), which i will convert into a street luge. My old street luge stayed behind when I moved to a different country. I tried it downhill, but the wobble is severe. how do i improve stability? By changing up the bushings alone will it help? should i get a smaller spacer for trucks so height will drop a bit? also, do you think i should drill new holes to make the trucks closer together? on my luge they were not so far apart. (currently at 2 feet). On the luge they were 20" apart. Any help is appreciated, also, if someone knows were I can get a luge in north amercia please link me up. Not sure it matters but i now live in vancouver.

[@Kimbo_Slice_69]

So what trucks would you recommend for crusing and carving on a longboard.

[@thamerendyck1795]

What would happen if you take a down hill board with the truck base is at an angle what woyld happen if you reverse the truck

[@toonvanhavermaet8731]

thanks for helping me out guys! really good explained! :)

[@rafaeherrera3527]

+Tactics Boardshop thank you for telling me tips about longboard trucks it really helped me understand

[@tomstevenson7010]

what should I do if I already got sabre cast trucks which limit the amount they can turn because the bushing seat hits the side of the bushing but I want a smaller turning circle?

[@swissguy101]

hi are gold coast longboard any good for down hill i was looking at there drop though board?

[@AndyThomson03]

Nope. Go for a Landyachtz 925 or S9 DHD Gauntlet if you want a drop through longboard.

[@jiddukrishnamurti4596]

Genius

[@mchammerclark5]

Hey guys my dad just bought me some toe shoes so i figured why not just go full circle and get a long board anyways i was wondering what kind of pose to do on my board to look as rad as possible also i need to learn to push mongo asap

[@KACEProductions]

I'm going t get a bustin yoface 35 with peewees for tech sliding... What trucks should I get?

[@thomasfille7402]

For ts I ride some Gullwing pro III. Caliber Standards and independent 169 are also nice Trucks for that

[@rikyblue5373]

What's the name of the deck on the right with the blue monster on the red Sky?😊

[@ichiebansot]

Does anyone know how good are Caliber or Compound brand Longboard Trucks

[@ThrasherDge]

Amazing presentation skills, lol Great job!

[@cruvty]

Hey Ross, I have a question. I live in a neighborhood that has mellow, steep, and really steep hills, and I've been trying to get into freeride, so I'm gonna start fresh with a whole new board and setup. I'm going to be riding a Madrid Nessie (2015 model), Abec 11 Flashbacks, 1/8 riser pads, and 89a ultra Rebound Blood orange bushings in a double barrel combo on both trucks. I'm not sure what trucks to get though. I have a cruiser board setup on 50 degree base-plates, but for my freeride setup I want to have stable trucks as well as some responsiveness. I've been looking at Caliber II trucks, and I'm thinking about getting the set with 44 degree base-plates, since 50's seem too twitchy and too responsive, and 40's/42's seem too "dead." Should I get the 44's or the 50's?

[@cruvty]

***** Haha alright I'll be sure to order the 44's then. Thanks for getting back to me!

[@raymondguarin575]

thanks for the Information about Different Types Of Trucks...Now I know what to do with my ... Gullwing Reverse Truck Co. For my Longboard...Jacko Pro 2017...I Flipped The Back Truck For my Stable my Downhill and Freeride...

[@jamesligma9004]

what is by far the best trucks for mainly downhill but a lot of cruzing too

[@13martin182]

awesome video. Loads of information, no bullshit

[@jonienglish3231]

very good explanation of trucks

[@nyahbinghiman5984]

I'm planning on getting a 40x10 inches pintail longboard, so trucks around 250mm wide would do? And what kind of wheels would you suggest?

[@nyahbinghiman5984]

+Tactics Boardshop okay, thanks for help :)

[@Pyraticalpunk]

I'm buying a 9.5" drop through deck, what size trucks should I buy? I mostly find 9" or 10" and 9.5" is rare

[@tacticsboardshop]

I'd just go with some 10" trucks, because they'll only stick out 0.25" on each side and will be barely noticeable, plus they'll probably be slightly more stable than the 9.0" trucks.

[@BEEBEE159]

Very good video: very helpful. Thank you.

[@thatchannel643]

im a beginner boarder and im looking to get some bushings for sliding what do u suggest

[@derowmediataskforce]

I've been riding different baseplate angles, and bushing hardnesses and am having a difficult time finding a ride that feels good under my feet. I've ridden caliber 50's and find them to be the most fun however I ride faster everyday and feel like they aren;t stable enough to do certain maneuvers at speed like Crouch style sliding or diving into corners at high speeds. 44's calibers just aren't as fun and im not stoked on that. What do you recommend be my next step in finding my truck setup?

[@pedromaciel45]

Im thinking about gettin a Landyachtz Dinghy, which comes with 105 mm trucks and 63mm wheels. If i want to get a more freeriding and sliding setup ( I know this board isn't the ideal for it), should I get a wider truck?? keeping the wheels this size and also having in mind the wheel bites. Thanks, from brazil!

[@j7g934]

Are the “Compound 9.5 Reverse Matte Black Longboard Truck” good for downhill longboarding?

[@kill-em-deadairgunner]

I have a Electric skateboard..The WOWGO 2s...The trucks that came with it are very stiff...i since put Paris V2 on it and the ride is night & day difference....thanks to video i got a good understanding of what to look for...

[@lowellcalavera5627]

Does Gullwing make a 42 degree Charger?

[@jessaie-detre-chretien]

Best explanation on the subject thanks 👍

[@josephrogers5321]

I'm looking to get a new cruiser deck and use my gullwing sidewinders on it. The trucks are the 10" but the deck I'm looking at is a 9.25 inch wide, 30" long. Would my trucks work with this deck or should I look for smaller trucks?

[@mrgnkr116]

Whats a good brand truck for cruising, carving, and some downhill bombing?(nothing too fast or extreme) Im looking at Randall r3 but i would like to have more options. Thank you!

[@willbart1236]

Anybody know what the deck on the wall is with the octopus on it?

[@TexasBoi5657]

What about Other Planet trucks and bear trucks? I'm fairly new to long boarding but I would like something for cruising the streets and stability. I'm a fat man and i need stability what would be my best bet?

[@OgLuki]

You can go for any trucks you like actually (just take 50 degrees) and put cup washers with some harder bushings you can take 2 barrel bushings for cruising (is also good for freeriding) but it will be a bit less wobbly and so good for you. Then you just gotta check out what Durometer you wanna have , which completely depends on the rider tbh. I'm 188 pounds and have about 93a bushings, there you usually have to try everything a bit. I mean your post is 4 weeks old you might have found something already haha

[@segundinatinae4863]

can you give me a birthday gift set up.😇

[@mihailozimonjic8398]

Can i put trucks from normal skateboard on longboard? Ofcourse with longboard wheels.

[@mihailozimonjic8398]

+Tactics Boardshop Thanks for help

[@nickdriessen6159]

Got Bear Gen 6 trucks. They are freaking amazing! They seriously improved their product!

[@noracalderon3804]

What kind of trucks can I use for my 26inches board? Trucks for downhill? Like Globe 26 inches board? Thanks for the answer ^_^

[@StudioBoosterPack]

what exact one is the best one for city cruzing and ease steering?

[@samuelfasching3448]

I want to get the Landyachtz Hatchet and I was wondering what truck I should use? I will be using it mostly for cruising around town and some carving. Thanks!

[@haydenstephenson6968]

I am setting up a sector 9 mini daisy for fast freeride/downhill, should I get charger 2 or caliber 2 trucks?

[@lucasgrover8642]

caliber's will do you better for fast downhill and or freeride!

[@samplays9253]

Is it okay if you buy 10” trucks for a 9” longboard??? Pros? Cons? Thanks.

[@Anne_Onymous]

If it pokes out too much, it can get I the way of tricks and such

[@oogaboogachomp]

Much more shit than skateboard trucks lmao

[@emmetthansen1933]

Hey, I’m trying to custom make my own longboard just for cruising around. I wouldn’t be going super fast so do you have any suggestions/personal favorites for what kind of trucks, wheels, and bearings I should get?

[@ghostghost1664]

I'm a rookie on longboards, but when I bought my cruiser it came with plastic trucks, do metal trucks exist for my cruiser?

[@paulwenzel8914]

would you ever suggest normal kingpins for big hills? because i was looking at the Landyauchtz loco 37 and it has normal kingpin trucks. I love to slide and go pretty fast like 25 mph, but then i like to do tricks. so thats why i was looking at the loco

[@avox2612]

What is the deck on the top right with the octopus on it? And the one below that one

[@LouisManofMusic]

I have a question about the 4 nuts that hold the platform of the truck and board together. What are they called? Do i tighten them? I can't seem to tighten them on my board they feel loose. Im asking because i can literally wiggle the whole truck. I try twisting it left and right and it off sets seeming very loose. I feel like its going to dismantle the whole truck and fall off while riding. Please help somebody!

[@esaumachuca]

Bro! Props! Your understanding is amazing! Thank you for explaining to us what we desire! You are very knowledgeable and present ideas that open our mind about skate boards. ❤🙏

[@ok2bamerican598]

If I were to go into the business of making and selling cruiser boards of all shapes and sizes and I want to stick to just an average/basic/universal hardware, what would you recommend?

[@christiandelarosa7962]

Thanks bro 👊👍👌 I'm just a ridder trying the 50° for the first time I had them backwards gracias

[@cragglessskates4855]

should of shown the seismic g4 or g5 trucks

[@brandonwilder8467]

Down hill beginners, two words: cast Rogue or cast Ronins + venom bushings + cupped washers/board side and flat washers/street side = great beginnings.

[@kaleidascopes]

Thanks for the informative video. You're obviously a pro who knows what the f@$& you're talking about.

[@shadyakram5945]

Can I put a drop through truck on a downhill board ?
