Longboard vs Skateboard vs Cruiser

Here's a simple breakdown of a longboard vs skateboard vs cruiser.

[@KingCheetah173]

I have a Landyachtz cruiser but I swapped the wheels for smaller lighter ones and now I can do some flip tricks on it too while till being able to go on those long smooth rides.

What setup? Like board and wheel names?

This is super helpful because I just got my first longboard and I want a skateboard now with larger wheels exactly for the reason you said, to cruise AND do tricks.

[@concrete-waves]

Glad to hear that. Sounds like you got it figured out 🙏

I wish i watched this before i bought my skateboard and now i want a long board

[@sugrrwitha]

I hope you bought a longboard and i have to ask something i bought a skateboard 4 months ago and i want a cruiser right now but i think its a little bit selfish , in your opinion should i buy a cruiser? and cruiser is too much expensive in my country but i have enough money :"D

[@thunder7135]

@@sugrrwitha lol bro, why would it be selfish to buy what you desire especially if you got the money?... You won't live forever, so yes, you should buy it.

[@efectomariposa2010]

Cruiser with a carving config is the best thing to go everywhere, is portable and fast, in a city is better than a bike

[@zatarawood3588]

why better than a bike? easier to navigate ppl?

[@efectomariposa2010]

@@zatarawood3588 Because in the cities there are trains and buses, you can enter and exit easily with a cruiser, but not with a bicycle. Also, if you need to enter a building, house, or store, you can do so without having to lock the bike outside. If you get together with a group of friends, you can walk with them without having to move a bicycle; you can carry the cruiser in your hand or in your backpack. Also if you have to go on the sidewalk you can, a bicycle has to go on the street or bike path. If you go out partying on a cruiser you won't have any problems with the law, even if you're drunk and drugged hahaha, on a bicycle you'll get fined and they'll also require lights, a bell and other things. The only case where the bike is better is when the distance is too long, you have to get there quickly, or it's raining. A cruiser in the rain is very bad, the bearings and the wood get damaged, the bike is approximately 2 minutes faster per kilometer traveled.

[@fri0]

For someone who never has ride before? Cruiser instead of longboard?

[@sergeyloverow2105]

Why do you think it's better than a bike? Bike is hundred times better than any board. Faster, easier to control, less tiring because you are sitting not standing, you have brakes and you can always speed up pedaling depending on your bike and how fit you are. Cruiser is super lightweight and portable though which you can't say about a bike.

[@Levi-qm5cg]

imo, long boards are a pain in the ahh for transportation. I have been skating for 10+ years. I skate street and parks, but my first skateboard was a cruiser, and have been on plenty of longboards. Longboards are too big and cumbersome to navigate cracks, bumps, holes, ect. And most longboards dont have kicktails(with the exception of pintails) so as soon as you want to ride off a curb, or ollie up a curb, you're done. And I despise stepping off my board and picking it up, I feel like a moron especially infront of traffic at an intersection.

[@TheQwertyuiop6]

I'm gonna mention the last part you said first: fuck em lol I felt the same until I realized anyone looking at me weird don't have the balls to even ride a board. Anyways I do agree cuz longboards on flat for long distances can hurt from the weight and obstacles.

[@MrpotatoHead-jb9bd]

The cruiser is abomination the amount of times my friends have fallen on those

[@sergeyloverow2105]

So a cruiser is more suitable for you. It's made for that just for cruising around short distances around the city. For longer distances though a longboard is much more comfortable and you have more place to rest your legs on. I own a pennyboard and I can't imagine skating on that small board for anything further than 7 miles, I get ankle pain from it.

[@zomb1e000]

I recommend to loosen longboards and cruises more, since its more comfortable and it feels better when riding on rough surfaces

[@jordanidklol288]

My board is like a weird arrowish shaped board and it works like a longboar but i can do decent ollies on them and honestly I've never been able to finf out what exactly it was

[@Sesh-til-rest]

Hahahaha thats funny. Doing an ollie wjth a cruiser. Maybe because i always got the huge cruisers, just longboards with a tail kick but a flat and cone shaped flat nose

[@Ties.fingerboard]

And dan whoppa 😂😂

[@konohaguy]

Nice, but you forgot to add surfskate 👀

[@concrete-waves]

Haha true but I got two other vids comparing surfskates 😎

[@thedualitysystem]

I have longboard wheels on my skateboard cause my neighborhood has terrible sidewalks.

[@blind_thomas]

I have a cruiser but I'm too socialy awkward to use bc I don't know how to stop it

[@aithon6936]

Just go out and try to have fun watch some tutorials. Practice and dont give up.

[@sugrrwitha]

i have to ask something i bought a skateboard 4 months ago and i want a cruiser right now but i think its a little bit selfish , in your opinion should i buy a cruiser? and cruiser is too much expensive in my country but i have enough money :"D

[@blind_thomas]

In my opinion, if you have the money and want something to just ride around on, go for it, but if it's too expensive, maybe look into buying cruiser wheels and just switch back and forth.

[@sugrrwitha]

I hope i'll buy a cruiser as soon as possible and thanks for your opinion but also cruiser wheels are expensive if i try to buy a skateboard and wheels it will be more expensive than a normal cruiser

[@blind_thomas]

It depends on what wheels, bearings, ect you choose to buy but it might be easier to spend more so you don't have to switch the wheels everytime you want to cruise because it'll get tedious.

[@Probox69]

Not me having long board tires on a skateboard

[@LilyandLushDesigns]

I got skatebored but i dont wanna do tricks

[@Skateandenjoi]

Just push man

[@Skateandenjoi]

Or ma’am

[@jonathanmuniz4341]

Looking for something that is good for cruising around the neighborhood with my husky pulling on leash. Not interested in tricks. I'm thinking cruiser for something that can more easily navigate the occasional bump or crappy sidewalk. Not going to do more than a mile or two at a time.

[@kissalude9032]

I like long boards because I'm tall. Skating on regular skateboards feels uncomfortable. Cruisers are as small as I go. I like the portability of the cruiser, but having extra real estate to move around is great on a longboard. Point is, if you can afford it buy them all.

[@Space-Doge]

What about cruiser vs penny board?

[@foggynight]

Does a cruiser have taller trucks? I just have a standard board with big wheels and tight trucks for cruising.

[@flachzangejason1184]

I daily ride a longboard with 100 mm wheels which is great for cruising last year i bought a skateboard and i can ride it but cant do tricks and it feels too slow so i will do the last trick from the video

[@Karfunkelfuchs]

Surfskate forever ❤

[@flachzangejason1184]

For the last thing can you still do tricks if you put bigger wheels on the skateboard

[@longboardliving]

Doing tricks is ultimately dependent on the rider because yes you can still do tricks with big soft wheels if you know how :)

The choice get a real skateboard or not shouldn’t be this hard 😃

[@hofx666]

The only right answer is “double kick” board. Everything is for virgins and posers.

How childish of you, don't you know skateboards come from surfboards originally? Who's the elitist poser? LOL

[@thunder7135]

lmao there we go with the toxic culture again. Skateboarding was always about freely expressing yourself and ignoring any authority or rules. But here we are, gatekeeping skateboarding once again. Then we wonder why less and less people skateboard. Pathetic.
