What longboard should I buy?

• I am looking in to buying a longboard. I have skateboarding expierience and know about them but I dont know what length,width,style to get. I will be using it for casual riding and cruising.PLEASE HELP ME!!

• Answer:

  get any deck and good trucks and wheels. if you get good trucks and wheels but any deck for 70-80$, like i did, they perform as good as a sector nine in a boardshop. Any length is okay, just see if you would like to carry a 5 pound one, or a 10 pound one. shorter ones can or cannot turn sharper, depending on if you have risers or wheel wells on your deck. (they are slots cut in the decks to let your turn sharper.) go to your local skateshop that carries longboards and they can give you info. If they don't have longboards, they should still guide you in the right direction. all the long longboards (40+ inches) are as stable as shorter longboards (30- 40 inches). its mostly about the wheel size. i would recommend 60+ mm) amke sure they are soft. if you can't get a deck, use your regular skateboard and add longboard trucks, wheels, and riser to it, and it should be okay. a good site is www.tgm.com and also check out their ebay store. good luck!:)
