I want to get a longboard and I'm new to skateboarding but idk if I should go to my local shop or buy on online any help?

[@jorgecardoso5863]

Yeah boy, my wallet has been waiting for this

[@concrete-waves]

Ayyy lmk if you have any questions

[@kathleenbranda5705]

The dipper is incredible as far as flex and turns, I'm enjoying it and wouldn't trade it for the world. I am still adjusting to not having the kicktail - it offers so much freedom of motion but the board slides right out from under you at times. It's worth it to be able to pump and turn like this. I'm 50 and this is my first board in over 20 years. Mine is setup #1 with blue Hawgs, and I'm truly having a blast. 🤙

Any idea what might be more agile, a Dipper or a Drop Hammer? Just curious. Would love to hear the differences if anyone has ridden both. Thanks guys. Great channel. 😎👍

I have the exact same Yow Surfskate at 1:47. It’s a beauty and I love the feel of it…but it decided to break my arm and ribs while skating a bowl 4 months ago. Coming back for inspiration on a new longboard to start skating again.

[@bitaliovillarreal9429]

I bought a pintail LY from pawn shop for $50 w/soft surfboard style griptape @6 years ago and anytime my people wanna roll for a loop w/ me they always choose this guy hands down its too easy to ride even for non skaters .. Love the polarbear trucks and bearings .Only thing I've had to replace are wheels and bushings ..Superior quality not made in America.I have had at least 3 or 4 clones that I cut from plywood and sold em all. lovin this reveiw couldn't agree w ya more w the length of the trucks and how it affects you turning radius... Also definitely gotta have bigger softer wheels for rocky roads especially down here in Galveston Tx.👍👍

[@concrete-waves]

Nice man thanks for sharing your experience. I'm curious what you don't like about the wheels and bushings because I haven't had any issues with my wheels or bushings. What aspect are you talking about? Genuinely curious

[@lori1035]

Picked up the dipper, flipped the cup washers and it really came to life. Much more surfy and fun to ride. Also, no wheel bite.

[@josearmas1511]

which setup did you pick?

[@lori1035]

@@josearmas1511 I have the 105mm polar bears with the 60mm fatty hawgs.

Could you do a 'drop cat 33' review from Landyachtz please?

[@Palidisini]

Yooo that bigspin is fire! Dumb question, is this considered a longboard or a cruiser?

[@concrete-waves]

thanks man! I'd say they fit into both the longboard and cruiser category

[@charlesm.8807]

Landyachtz just sent them to you!!!? So dope!

[@concrete-waves]

Yup! Pretty sweet, right

[@maxjarvela4255]

I have the Ripper and it's one of my absolute favourite boards! The deck shape, the flex, the trucks - the whole package is just smooth surfy awesomness :D Been commuting on it with the wider truck setup + 70mm supreme hawgs ever since the weather's gotten more grimy. It's heavier than the standard ez's but the extra grip feels way safer on wet surfaces and dirt. The coasting speed is really nice too. Otherwise the ez's are fantastic and preferable since it makes the board surprisingly light too ^^

[@Zouzouek]

Did you have to increase the size of the riser pads to make space for the 70mm wheels ?

[@Hic_Rhodus]

​ @Joseph El Khoury I would like to know the answer to this 👆question too!

[@maxjarvela4255]

@@Zouzouek No not at all!

[@maxjarvela4255]

I always have the trucks moderately tight/loose and have never removed the risers, no reason to have them looser if you can pivot with the kicktail anyway imo, never had to adjust them for accomodating bigger wheels, I just switch them out and go ^^

[@maxjarvela4255]

After a friend of mine borrowed my ripper with 70mm wheels and 1/4" riser I'd be careful doing the same unless ur around my weight (65kg). He's around 80kg and got wheelbite! Just something to consider ^^

[@emeraldcity9443]

I love my Dipper because skaters see the tail and never ask me to do a kick flip

[@connormcfarlan7744]

Just wondering if you have tried the slide surfskates? They are really fun and zippy

[@calebprior6375]

You should do review on the side walker

[@concrete-waves]

I've been wanting to test that one. It's on the list for sure

[@evanelbaz2784]

Great video as always! Are the risers on the Ripper/Dipper 1/2? In addition are they hard or soft risers?

[@concrete-waves]

Thanks Evan! Oops, I accidentally cut that part out. Yes, they're 1/2" risers that are made of hard plastic

[@krishnansrinivasan830]

Awesome & Thanks :)

[@concrete-waves]

Thanks for always watching and commenting Krishnan. Appreciate it man!

[@brytero8301]

Hey shredders great vid the quality is really shredding our expectations. And you should really review the dropcat 33’ and 38.

[@concrete-waves]

im so shredding happy to hear that. thank you shredder lol. i will definitely consider dropcats since a lot of people mention them

[@JS-wu1hg]

Man that dipper looks like it rides so fun.

[@josefstalin9678]

Sounds like the ripper with the 130mm trucks would be a great balance because it still has the kicktail but it wouldn't struggle with turning as much. Maybe not as agile as the dipper with the 105s but still better than the 155s. Guess it depends what you're doing with 'em though. Great video (as always)

[@concrete-waves]

Yeah you're absolutely right. I might have to pick up some 130mms to test that setup now haha

[@concrete-waves]

also, thanks for watching and commenting. I really appreciate your support!

[@JustACrate.]

Just bought the dipper 2 days ago sick video

[@concrete-waves]

Nice Cameron! Enjoy it... it's super fun to ride

[@daniel_su35s]

Sweet looking boards

[@concrete-waves]

Yeah they're really fun to ride too

[@ESRohner]

The Ripper with the 130s looks like my fave of the bunch! The dipper with the Gen 6 Grizzlies looks kind of pointless... until I consider that it's basically just a traditional pintail, and who doesn't like that? But I think I'd still prefer those 105s for getting some sweet pumps while cruising my city!

[@concrete-waves]

Yeah, the 130s on the ripper seem like a nice crossbreed. The 105s are super pumpy! Definitely a fun setup

[@sammybutler7241]

Did you by any chance get to try it with slide gloves? I'm looking for something to practice with..

[@concrete-waves]

Unfortunately I didn't test them with slides gloves, sorry Sammy!

[@florentbak1579]

I have the dipper with 105 mm trucks, Can I learn to slide or it's difficult ? Thanks you

[@ashton6269]

Hey shred shack could you do a video on landyachtz ATV boards compared to a traditional skateboard?

[@concrete-waves]

I'd love to... just don't know when I'll get to it. The ATV series look awesome

[@maxjarvela4255]

kind of a late answer (and I'm obv not shred shack) but I have ridden the howdy for quite some time now practicing tricks and cruising. It's an awesome board in general, compared to a normal skateboard it's noticably heavier and surfier. Almost feels like a longboard when you ride it and the 60mm ez's roll over so many things you barely have to manual or ollie over them. The weight can be noticable - was surprised how much lighter my friends hollow truck skateboard felt during ollies by comparison, but I'd personally take the smoothness for the added weight any day since I just got used to it in the end :) I'd mabye take a normal skateboard if my town had a park but since I'm mostly cruising and have practice sessions here and there I'm super happy with it ^^

[@mrdarryljones1]

Why would wider wheels work better on rough surfaces if the durometer was the same? Great stuff btw! 👍🏾

[@truefoxtrot2884]

Because it's going to be less difference in terrain height difference as you ride, if you ride a 70mm wheel the thickness of a coin, its going to go "down into" every hole/ imperfection bigger than a coin, while if you use a 70x50mm wheel over the same hole/imperfection the wheel will have the sides outside the hole to support it, this will make the wheel move less up and down when in an uneven/rough terrain, having most of the energy going forward instead of up and down will mean a faster, less bumpy ride, hope this helps.

[@Fluffisnoterm]

@@truefoxtrot2884 That’s an outstanding explanation! Wider wheels rock sideways a lot less over road imperfections

[@diegobojorquez8051]

I want to buy a longboard, i am between landyachtz ripper and loaded's tan tien. Since I am going to be using it mostly in City on streets and kinda narrow and rough sidewalks I feel like the ripper with fatty hawgs might be better since it has more flex and smaller trucks making it more nimble and responsive, but I also think that tan tien overall quality is hard to ignore. And his bigger deck and wheels for sure make it better for longer rides and rougher terrain. Does anyone have tried any of these boards and/or have any advice on what should I buy? Thanks in advance

[@adjd1576]

[@nenciustefan9868]

Awesome review! On wich skate/setup I can have more speed?

[@concrete-waves]

Thanks. I'd go for the Ripper with 155mm trucks (setup 2) since they'll offer more stability for higher speeds

[@concrete-waves]

[@Juanjo191]

Hope someone can help me... I'm a beginner and I got a Switchblade because it's stable and low to the ground, thinking that would be a nice board to cruise and have some fun, but I think it’s way too stiff for me. I’m from Mexico and the streets are full of cracks, potholes and rough pavement. What would be a better option for me considering that i just want to cruise around, and maybe learn to do some slides to kinda slow down and break? The Ripper, the Dipper, a Drop Cat or the Drop Hammer? Or maybe even try other wheels for the Switchblade?

[@hongphuctn92]

I have a switchblade, dinghy, tugboat, and rallycat. My favorite one for your road condition, in my opinion, is the dinghy, it's nimble and fun as hell, you can also learn to slide with it, but the road should be in good condition, I would avoid slide over cracks... I have panda pender dinghy with 63 fatty hawg. I rode a dinghy coffin of my friend and that also a good option.

What's your budget? Maybe I can do some searching for you. If you can wait, I'd definitely try to save up more and get a better board. Unless you have no idea if you'll even like longboarding/ sticking with it longterm

[@luximo3388]

Wouldn't a ripper deck with the dipper trucks be perfect then?

[@josefstalin9678]

That's exactly what I was thinking. Or maybe just the other setup with the 130mm trucks (maybe not as agile as 105s but probably still better than 155s)

[@concrete-waves]

I'm not sure about putting 105s on the ripper deck (those might be too small). If you want the ripper deck but more agility, I'd recommend the 130s (Setup 1). But then you're sacrificing some stability

[@bluemind4225]

Depends what type of riding you're doing. Give me more info about the riding style/environment you''ll be in and I can help better

[@nicolasgiliberti1942]

Ey dude, would you consider doing an "hybrid"-class decks video? or one about longboards configurations? I mean, idk why would a 36" dropthorugh cutout deck be more "freeride-ish" than, for example, than a 33" topmount + tail "cruiser". like, idk why would an original apex 37 differ a lot from an omakase for commuting, sliding, doing the common longboard-tricks...

[@concrete-waves]

Awesome ideas, thanks. I'd love to do a video where I cover custom setups... maybe not specifically like the ones you mentioned but I can see that being really helpful. Anyway... thanks for the recommendation, I'll definitely consider it
