Maar maakt het wat uit? Want ik vind het minder mooi als het er helemaal op zit en als het niet uitmaakt hoe haal ik het er dan af op die bepaalde delen?

[@MultiBaboba]

Dude I love it! Your chill vibe and how you explain is awesome and got me inspired. I'm going board shopping today. Thanks Hans, keep up the good work / Dave

[@rolandfuhrmann2506]

In my opinion the first board is always the board where you find your riding style! After that you now what size shape etc. you want. Cause I prefer more short longboards to dance cause you can combine fast tricks in a dancing line. Little bit weird but I think the style you wanna dance or freestyle on your board is the most important thing. By the way good luck at the Hamburg longboard open! I wanted to be there but it wasn't possible :( Greetings from germany.

[@LongboardsBE]

Very true words. Thanks a lot btw, I'll see you next time then!

[@Incompetentbean]

I did a lot of tricks on my Penny board and I had master a lot of trick, but when I started watching your video about longboards. I started going to my local skate shop and got myself a drop deck and it is hard for me to master any trick I had master on my Penny board.

[@LongboardsBE]

haha well you'll get used to it man :) If you had the perseverance to learn them on a Penny, you can learn them on an other deck too :)

[@midorilimex3199]

[@giovannichavarin3604]

Do you have the smallest one ?

[@comatosecrysis]

Hans didn't touch on this, so I thought I might shed some light on the subject. If you're looking to downhill or freeride (slides and such) then it's most common to use a stiff deck. These decks are generally not that long either (shorter than a pintail and far shorter than a dancer), most riders prefer topmount decks too, but as Hans says, it's all personal preference. Getting a deck with concave will help lock your feet in place whilst gripping sharp turns (downhill) or busting out massive slides (freeride). The type of concave is again down to personal preference. Downhill decks are generally asymmetrical, whilst freeride decks are quite often symmetrical. There is a lot of crossing over though, so again, find out what you feel comfortable with, grab your helmet and go shred!

[@LongboardsBE]

I think this is a perfect explaination dude, thanks :) Wouldn't have been able to say it as spot on as you do!

I have now bought my first longboard, its so pretty and blue, and i am now beginning to learn how to board. I ride goofy and really need to work on riding regular - but my stability is really bad on my left leg! i have just under a month til uni and i hope i can get good enough before hand! im pretty sure the majority of your views will be from me replying every video multiple times to understand how to do steps and to get used to the basics!

[@ruhurtin4squrtin34]

ongboarding in terms of cruising/carving+freeride is set of trade offs in terms of instability & pure joy of riding : below is my thoughts. disregard bushing recommendations if doing tricks/sliding. weight of person will affect total riding experience. 110-140lbs=super lucky & pick & choose whatever you want as gravity is not a bitch to you esp w sliding/tricks/downhill 165+=need to consider weight of board & wheels to optimize riding scenario as gravity will fuck w you esp doing tricks/slides get rid of washers alltogether except for 45deg base plates. where 1 set is/may be needed. also put the cup washer reverse[facing out]. 45deg base plates=180mm is easier to set up super carvy riding w bushing. 160mm or less for light weight trucks is not good for super carvy riding situations. 50deg base plates customize w all types of truck length. best to easy plug & play height of person 5ft 8inch & under 36-40inch 42+ are doable for 5ft8 & under but if not dancing or downhill, it is pointless for downtown 5ft9inch+ 38/40-44/46 [you will feel comfortable] board weight 3lbs or less yes 4/5lbs or more no unless you want to do downhill primarily although it may not be needed w 75mm wheels & paris trucks which add a lot of weight, a lighter board helps in pick up & walk/ing situations. 71/75mm[size] wheels w 82 or less[softness] duro are best for cutting through streets like butater paris & abec11 trucks are great but you can get cheap/generic trucks and improve performance by mixing venom bushingesp 78-80duro w cheap bushings for slipperery carving riding.ie going around pedestrians at a drop of a hat. in terms of weight abec11 attack & randal trucks are lighter than paris trucks. a lighter truck+heavy board+65/71mm may equalize somewhat to light board+paris/bear[?]+ 75mm abec11 big zig setup.prefer 2nd option for downturn. also wider contact point for wheels 50mm or more ie big zigs better for turning. venoms bushings are magic bearings spacers are a must w good wheels[abec 11 big zigs71/75mm, cult 80 yellow & pink 71mm] which are as good as durians/these wheels w less price point. loaded vanguard style/type boards are best as cutouts allow 71/75mm wheels w/o risers. also rkp trucks add height. so they minimize wheel bite. having riser w rkp+75mm makes board too high of ground to be comfortable for day to day cruising. board is not importants. wheels/bushing/trucks/spacers are more important and worth spending $ on. once you figure out what you like riding style, then spend $ on board. in short, venom bushing paired w generic bushings & soft 71-75mm wheels & wrist guards is the minimum to get the max out of longboard cruising and riding. also unstable board setup is fine esp when you speed up you replicate the downhill carvy feeling w/o having to leave downtown or city. also get wrist guards more than helmets. you will break wrists first which causes you to use your head to break fall. soif you dont break wrist, your head will be fine if you practice situational awarenes like [delta]

I've been skateboarding for about 8-9 months ridden all different types or boards. Regular classic decks, penny board, and recently my Land Yacht and Sector 9 slide gloves.

[@BadSSBowtie]

First video I came across to get the lowdown on buying a first longboard for my little brother that seems interested in trying longboarding out

[@leolyo7]

Hi man, I gotta say that I've just subscribed to your channel and I was blown away by how real you and the things you say are, proves to show that you're an honest person with an insatiable love for the sport and I can't thank you enough for bringing us beginners so much positive energy and the will to keep on going, especially since the longboarding community in my country isn't that great. On that note, I would like to ask you for some advice: Last hear I've bought my first and only longboard and I fell in love with it: a big cruiser, perfect for commuting around town. Every month or so I'd clean it a bit by wiping the dust and dirt from the board, wheels and the trucks, I'd remove the wheels and brush that part as well. About a month ago my board started slowing down compared to before, it also started making some squeaking sounds whenever I accelerate. The internet said that I need to lubricate the trucks and properly clean my bearings as well. Since every video on the internet about the subject gives me different reasons as to why and why I shouldn't do what they say, I'm afraid to try anything and haven't ridden my board for about 2 weeks. I tried asking my country's longboarding community about this, but they ignored my cries for help, stating that it's something I should already know. Might you know what I should do, what I should use and such? I don't know who else to turn to, I loved cruising so much and you gave me the motivation to try and learn dancing as well, but I'm afraid of busting my board up if I try to do anything without proper instructions. Aside from that, my wheels have started to crack from all the pebbles I would come across while commuting. Could you recommend a store where I could perhaps order the cleaning products, as well as wheels, trucks etc.? If you ever read this, thank you in advance, I hope you continue with your work and I gotta say that you're my true role model when it comes to longboarding. =D

[@LongboardsBE]

Hi there! First of, thank you so much. That means a lot to me, for real!! I understand that you're afraid to do something wrong, I searched for a video in which they do it like I do and this is pretty much what i'm doing: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rGO8l2Z3pMh4pK8 I recommend just going to a hardware store and asking for something to clean out bearings. The WD40 of this video isn't ideal but honestly, I don't know it ll that well either. I just use something for the hardware store after asking them for something that cleans out bearings without getting them rusty or anything. Also, where are you from? Cause it depends on where you live what stores there are. If you're from Europe I recommend Sickboards.nl, otherwise just google for something in your country :) Anyways, you'll be fine! Honestly it's just a piece of hardware so you can't really fuck it up too much haha so don't worry about all that. My wheels are cracked in the core 99% of the time and I still skate them, I've skated on broken trucks for months and had fucked up bearings too. I will work on a board maintenance video this summer btw, coming asap! Have an awesome week(end) and big hugs from Belgium!

[@leolyo7]

Hans Wouters wow, thanks for acrially replying :D I'm from Serbia, not being in the EU makes it a bit harder xD thanks for the video and the advice, I'll be sure to go check it out and I'll ask the hardware store about the cleaning product.

There is one question, I just don't find an answer to: how much does the weight of the board (dancer, 120cm) affect the overall performance? Will - 600g for the deck have a huge impact on the ability to do freestyle tricks? I could get the board with milled out parts in the core from my local shop. But am a bit hesitant because of the price. Thanks a lot!

I'm not gonna lie, I clicked on this instead of all the other videos just because of the ultimate in the title. Wasn't disappointed!

Great job learning English being bilingual can help in many ways I’m trilingual and it comes in handy so many times

I just picked up a Rayne Whip 47" for my first longboard. And have been loving it. I went into the shop and said I want a longboard I can dance and do some comply's with. So happy I went with it. Fuckin thing is as big as my ego

[@n30nplay56]

Very helpful

I'm not into dance, or downhill just to do tricks but i love the look of longboards

I just buy a pintail longboard to learn and cruising but I think it will not take a long time to buy another one better to do tricks. I will follow yours tips, thanks. A hug from Spain!

[@LongboardsBE]

Awesome! Big hugs from Belgium

[@brooklyndearing1892]

Could you make a video on the other parts of a longboard? Like wheels, hardware, bearings, trucks and stuff?

[@redwriter7128]

You saying the word “think”was the best part of this whole video

Having to choose between buying a skateboard and a longboard has been made much harder now with this guide, thanks Hans! ;)

[@alimlegrand1072]

I like to think that now it's not a problem. I would suggest you the Loaded Overland just for instance, it's a cross over of a DK Skateboard, just a bit wider and bigger. A lot of people mount that board with Indy's and street wheels ! There's also examples of that kind of board like Kanthanka, Cosmo line-up has some too etc..

[@sepp5209]

+Alim Top oh yeah maybe that's perfect for me, thanks!

[@LongboardsBE]

Yesss indeed! Very good suggestion, have fun shredding

[@sepp5209]

+Hans Wouters might come to hasselt when i order one ;)
