Longboard vs Skateboard vs Cruiser

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

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.

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.

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

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.

I wish I saw this before I got my skate board
Because a cruiser is looking PRETTY good rn

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

To fix this problem I just got one of each

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

Awesome i have 2 cruisers but never knew what to call them. I called them hybrids. Cruiser sound better. Got 70mm and 65mm wheels. My favorite rides

[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

[LilyandLushDesigns]

I got skatebored but i dont wanna do tricks

[jonathanmuniz]

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.

Get a shirt cruiser with a tail and a nose, something like short but a little fatter in the middle with a pointy nose with a little bit of a kick, and big ass medium wheels. That will take you anywhere you need to get

idk if i should take a cruiser even tho skateboard looks cooler, what types of wheels do i need to have a cruiser like skate, is it all in the wheels?

[naurrrrr_]

so skate with big soft wheels = cruiser?

[jordanidklol]

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

[robertfaulkner]

For the old guys out there staring to skate again. Just buy what we skated 35 years ago, they are pretty much considered a cruiser. Get a set of soft wheels for the street and some harder wheels for the skate park and all is good.

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

[thedualitysystem]

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