I know some people on v3 did it and there was a thread there, so since I'm curious who else longboards now, I'm continuing the thread.

my bro's getting a long board so I wonder how it is :o kinda random, but how does skateboarding compare? cause my bro says longboard = speed, distance vs skateboard = tricks, and air?

I think the best analogy is, a longboard is a skateboard as a milf is a mother. I'm getting into bombing and dh, but my board cant handle over 25 :( So I'm saving up for a rayne demonseed + randal downhills. -

Imo original boards, as pretty as their pictures and videos are, aren't nearly as good as their hyped up to be. They're expensive and their trucks are a pain in the ass to maintain, plus they can barely handle speed. I would do some research in other companies and find a board you like, and for trucks I suggest you go with 50 degree randals. For your wheels, research different brands and find a wheel that fits to your liking, but make sure you find how big of a wheel the board you choose can handle before it gets wheel bite (wheel and edge of board touch together causing the board to stop and throw you forward) So the main thing you want to do is research, and find out what the averge user thinks about the product your interested in, because you don't want to dish out 150-250$ only to find out you'd much rather have a different board. Two good placed to buy your board from: http://www.daddiesboardshop.com/ and http://motionboardshop.com/
