How to make a skateboard ride like a longboard?
-
I currently have a regular size skateboard fitted with ABEC 3 bearings, 55mm poly wheels and stock (unbranded) trucks. Is there any way (apart from obviously upgrading my bearings (Getting Bones Reds in the weekend)) that I could improve the cruising performance of my board to match that of a longboard? Can I get longboard wheels for my deck, or will this cause wheel bite?

Answer:
Your board is not gonna go faster if you have abec 3 bearings or if you have bones reds bearings. If your bearing are clean and aren't rusted they're for the most part all the same. To make your board cruise like a long board you just need to get soft wheels. I suggest ricta clouds. To avoid getting wheel bite get fat risers or just stack a few pairs. You'll probably have to get longer hardware. If your riding like a toys r us or sports authority board...go to a local skate shop and get something legit.

if you get long board wheels you probably will want long board trucks as well. But you can probably fit long board wheels on your board without long board trucks if you buy some thick risers and shock pads

some wheels like these http://www.skatewarehouse.com/Rootamental_88A_No_Skoolz_Wheels/descpage-RONSWH.html and 1/8" shock pad risers and medium bushings and 1 1/8" hardware
