Me after buying a Cruiser after watching the first vid: 👁👄👁

[@fartdog2]

[@darkangellew]

Haha seeing this a year later but wonder if you stuck with cruiser or not? He made a video why you should buy cruiser over long did you watch that after?

Topic: longboards. Video: snowskate. Genius 👍. Love that snow!

You look like the main character of Assassine Creed with the scarf/mask thing :D

Haha!! You make me sound cooler than reality thanks 😆😂😂

[@augusterb1518]

I started with a cruiser board and I have no regrets, wouldn't change anything if i could go back

[@fives645]

I like mine just for the use of traveling. But i prefer longboards.

[@OgdenSikel]

Nice!!

[@WilliamRivera343]

Got myself into riding a couple of years ago with a Landyachtz Tugboat which I used to cruise about in but stopped riding due to some life changing stuff happening. Fast forward to now and I decided to get back into it so I went ahead and ordered a Loaded Dervish Sama with Paris V3 180mm, 85mm Caguama wheels and Zealous bearings off of Muirskate. It should arrive on Thursday, I can't wait!

[@OgdenSikel]

Awesome!! My sister has a dervish sama and I’ve tried it and it’s super fun for cruising around fast!!

[@WilliamRivera343]

@@OgdenSikel That's really awesome to hear! Really looking forward to riding it!!

longboard gang all the way :)

i started out with a longboard and i’ve had it for 2 years but now i’m looking into getting a cruiser for the portability!

[@OgdenSikel]

Nice!!

[@TopDonBarrow]

Same, I'm thinking a landyachtz dinghy turbo king. Have any other cruisers you thinking of getting?

[@noviceboards4451]

@@TopDonBarrow lol i’ve been looking into the dinghy as well i think i’m getting the emboss

[@TopDonBarrow]

@@noviceboards4451 oh cool lol. The emboss looks good, I just feel like the turbo dinghy would give more stability because of the bigger/wider wheels. I was even thinking of building the Small blinds deck but I can't justify the price for just cruising lol.

[@maxdslr]

@@noviceboards4451 how is the emboss ?

I read this as “why you should not buy a dingy” 😂

Have you ever tried a surfskate? They are so much fun! Love your channel here. :)

[@michaell8002]

A wide cruiser board at about 9.5 is a game changer. Very versatile

[@ignacios1562]

used to ride a longboard, but once you learn about the advantages of having a tail its a no look back. being able to ollie up curbs and just popping tricks for fun while riding is far superior than longboarding

[@topg5256]

Started with a normal skateboard, then to a Penny (original) and now Im thinking on getting a Landyatch or a longboard

[@oscyner4750]

I got a 33 nea nea for $30 bcs it was bid

[@leoncorbett4553]

You don’t ride the longboard, the longboard rides you

[@muffinsdawg]

I've had my cruise for 11 years and I love it 💜 But I bought a longboard last week cause it was only $50 and it's so much fun. I prefer the cruiser because I cruise all around the city and there's parts where you just can't cruise so i'd rather be carrying the cruiser than the longboard

[@harrymarshall7899]

These are good points but skating around crowded or tight urban areas is just waaaay easier on a cruiser I like to think a longboard is more for handling the big downhill stuff, they're a little bulky and unweildy for cruising or commuting

[@OgdenSikel]

Good points, but it depends on where you live for commuting. Some places aren’t as densely packed and some have longer commutes so it all depends on your specific circumstance

[@harrymarshall7899]

@@OgdenSikel Agreed, if you live in a suburban area longboards make sense but I hate the idea of skating around a city on one lol

[@nohumor7702]

As long as your longboard has a kicktail or just lobg edges youre good

Dude looks like a soul reaper. Looking like he about to say bankai

[@fullautohabz9079]

Nice vid like you read my mind i wanted a longboard

[@KH-kb9oj]

my dad let me buy a longboard and i live in a nice area like a college campus with big roads and i am a beginner but i am good at riding so what do u prefer a longboard or cruiser ?

[@OgdenSikel]

I like my cruiser for getting around campus but I still use my longboard a lot when I wanna have a fun skate session. Cruiser for getting to classes though!

[@rolly1496]

True is safer high speed ,and speed record wasn't on a short board , longboard is a beast if u like speed.😏I got cruiser boards too but my go to boards are my longboards always because I love the hills in Vegas.

[@clivegeorge9740]

Hi, I bought a dinghy blunt, I find the wheels too small and finally maybe a little big to be a little fun and transportable thing (maybe I should have taken a classic, or 26 inch) Today I intend to change the wheels (put plow king if it goes without raisers, or 69mm roundhouse) and buy a longboard. I like the principle of being very low, but I would also like something agile in an unpopulated city, I hesitate between the drop cat 38, the Zenith AB or AZ, the pantheon ember/ or pranayama, and the tan tien. The tan tien because I tell myself that + it has a kicktail and it must be possible to go up or down sidewalks easily. + tighten turns by lifting the front with the kicktail. + there are cheaper used ones for sale, 1h30 from my house. - but it looks high and I'm afraid I don't feel comfortable. The drop cat + I just climbed on it when stationary in a store and I really liked the rocker, this feeling of well planting his feet, of being like in a very low cradles from the ground. It's the one that pleases me the most of impression, of feeling - I believe that it is not possible to go up or down a step without a kicktail. And I don't know if he's nimble or not. I'm not talking about the other boards because I don't think you know them. But what would you advise me? (I want to use my board like à cruiser, commute, longboard in country, i want à smooth stuff, and agile, maneuverable)

[@dark6.6E-34]

Biased video! Each board has its purpose that it reaches by design. &Cruisers are actually the versatile boards at the cost of riding ease: big wheels for comfort, light weight & small for portability, tail for tricks, and bottom mount providing wider turning adjustability Enjoy carrying your 1 meter 3+ kg board on public transport or trips.

[@OgdenSikel]

my guy, I also made a video on why you should get a cruiser over a longboard....it was a 2 part video series..the vid was supposed to be biased haha!

[@dark6.6E-34]

@@OgdenSikel Ok I saw it now! You know the difference But that is a horrible way of helping someone new find his fit. Instead of making 2 biased videos each that tempt the viewer into buying the respective board Why not make 1 non-biased video presenting the pros and cons of each successively to allow the viewer to decide for himself? Or try to link the videos via description, playlist, or titling them as part 1&2

[@dark6.6E-34]

@@OgdenSikel Also since both videos are biased there were some contradictions with the presented ideas in the longboard one you stressed over the idea that longboards are easier and recommended for beginners in the cruiser one you said that the difference in learning difficulty isn't that major

[@OgdenSikel]

The most popular video on my channel is cruiser board vs longboard…which is a direct non biased video. But I implore you to watch the part 2 vid I made of that one because the original is quite old and my new one is much more engaging

[@OgdenSikel]

I just make lots of videos on these topics because my viewers like it and I enjoy making them. Both boards are great and and I use both types daily. As for any contradictions, I really don’t care…those were my thoughts on the videos at the time and what I think based on my experiences…I don’t script my videos they are all off the top of my head so “errors” are bound to appear

[@johnmartinez8041]

I have some cheap board don’t even know the brand of anything on it except the bearings. Always have fun on it leave it in my trunk incase my car ever breaks down

@@OgdenSikel OOOOOOOOOOOOOH FUCK YEAH, also im really happy you replied, youre pretty fucking underrated

[@J4Hamz]

Hey man, hope you reply, if you do I’ll sub 😳. I’m going to get my first skateboard soon. I want to cruise around my neighbourhood (3-10 minutes per route). Im young (12) so my mom doesn’t allow me to ride on the roads yet. My sidewalks are rough so thats the main reason I want a skateboard good for cruising. I’ll get a complete from my local skate shop. Which board would you recommend? Cruiser or longboard? (Penny board hiding in the back)

[@OgdenSikel]

Hey bro, Welcome to the skate community!! If your sidewalks are rough as in having big gaps, and noticeable bumps, I might go with something like a longboard just because of the fact that your balance will be easier and you will be less likely to get thrown off your board going over giant cracks and such. Either could work for ya, but that's what I would recommend. Also a few other things since this is your first board: 1. Get a skate tool, they're pretty inexpensive and really help with board maintenance. 2. Make sure to get a name brand board. The quality difference is crazy (a skate shop should have all name brands so you should be good) 3. Be safe and take things one step at a time! Rushing into skating can increase risk of injury and make you feel discouraged, so take your time and get comfortable on your board. Have fun dude!!

[@J4Hamz]

@@OgdenSikel thanks, subbed.

[@J4Hamz]

@@OgdenSikel I have two types of sidewalks pavement near my area 1. its a greyish whiteish coloured sidewalk with pebbles integrated into it that you can see, they kinda have potholes but their small and not deep. Im estimating the gaps are a little under an inch. 2. Its a black sidewalk with pebbles integrated into it as well but you can’t really seem them. They have really small potholes and barely deep. Also some of my sidewalks might be slanted for some reason

Hey man is your longboard still good this days?can I have it I just broke my longboard today and im so broke to buy 1 I am still 17y.o for me to work 😔.
