So many reviewer says about how good the dinghy is, you are the first one who say the original is too small and uncomfortable which is true to people with larger feet. Impressive!
Dinghy rider here, it's a great board but a lot more fun in a dense urban environment than it is in a straight line. I've done 10-mile rides on bike trails on mine and had a good time though I can cover that distance a bit more comfortably and faster on my bigger setups. On the other hand those larger setups are nowhere as nimble as the dinghy is in tight quarters. I'll skate around the place I work at and it's mad fun to rip around corners on it. Anything that small will be less comfortable to stand on than something bigger would be but that's just the nature of the form factor. I'd say that if you are considering a Dinghy it's definitely worth having one in your quiver.
That is one helluva initial review. This should be the baseline for other channels when they do an initial thoughts. Appreciate the thoroughness. I have to try that trick of inverting the roadside bushing to improve turning. I'm new to this and never heard of that.
I skated street and ditches with a little down hill in the 80's and early 90's , I've been watching some long board and down hill videos , It's a whole nother world , all sorts of different bushing and riser arrangements , tiny trucks ,big wheels , reverse king pins , 43 degree trucks on the back , 50 degree on the front . I want to buy a new board but I'm so confused. Also I'm old and lost my balance especially pushing can't afford to fall down .hurts to much. Anyway I just want to roll around a bit and hopefully carve some parks , never had the opportunity as a kid , looks like fun
@@damionmarkham9835 Check out the Pantheon line up! You'll find something that works amazing for you. I actually recommend you pick up the Pranayama or Trip. Very beginner friendly boards that are easy to balance on
Waiting for the full review! I got my tugboat with 130 bear and fatty hawgs with flipped washer on both front and back trucks. Very fun board! Waiting for my ez hawgs.
Hi thanks for the review, Which board will u recommand to complete my drop cat 38? Sometging fun that i can carry that can turn in short corner ? Tugboat or surfskate ? Or something else?
Another Definitive Review Man, Love it!! And really it makes me wonder about trucks not exclusively on Dinghy but probably like any other top-mounted boards out there. (Concerning Traditional Trucks)Do you think that having a setup the same concept as comet cruiser where it has angled risers, harder bushings at the back truck('cuz of dewedging) and softer in the front will make any Cruiser/ATV board ride more lively and fun while maintaining stability. Like that Tugboat by LY, will it be good if upgrading those trucks with 88a bushings at the back and 83 bushings on front(with cupwashers both board & roadside) and have the same 7° wedge and dewedge of truck and upgrading the pivot cups like riptide as an example? It might be too much to ask about this but I hope to get some feedback from you Man.
I'd say it's worth wedging and dwedging! It's hard to get bushing that fit in the Bear TKPs perfectly. But I've heard thunder bushings are a perfect fit. You can sand some bushing and make them fit will though. Let me know how it goes and what works for you, interested in your experience
@@LongboardingExplained thank you!!! just watch your review on it. going to place an order if Its not at my local skate shop. . do you think the DINGHY TURBO FLIGHT/King is similar ?
Hey abuga I had a quick question and know that you are the best RUclipsr to ask hands down because of how honest you are. I have a dinghy and a few other cruisers but I really want a longboard to cruise longer distances. I want something comfortable and easy to push and I’m stuck between the drop cat 38 and the battle axe. I know there both similar boards but still very different. I was wondering what your opinion on them head to head and which one you would recommend. Cheers and fucking shred on
I'd get something from Panrtheon if you can afford it, or from DB longbaords if you're on a tight budget. The Drop Cat is awesome but nto what I'd recommend if cruisng longer distances is a big focus for you.
@@LongboardingExplained thanks for the reply. I’m in college balling on a budget so to speak lmao and I’ve been looking into dbs because of their prices. I’ve seen you review one as well on your website. Which DBs do you recommend the most?
@@LongboardingExplained also I don’t see me going over 5 miles or so in a session so I guess not really long distance. I just want something still agile but able to handle more than my dinghy due to the broken old terrain and hills
So i bought one of these to try and learn a how to move in the city an that kinda stuff but i'm a litte scared as of now, do you have any tips? and the other thing about the flipped washers how's that? hahaha amazing chanel i'm subscribing
Flipping the roadside washer is just turning the washer closest to the kingpin nut upside down so the flat side faces the bushing! Tips are practice the basics! On my other channel (downhill254) I have some awesome content that should help you get started. Tips for how to balance, where to put your weight, how tos top etc.! Check it out
@@LongboardingExplained Thanks i'm taking a look there i saw one where you explain how to do the washer thing and it's really good i felt the change instantly, thx for the tips, and hope to see more of your videos.
You’re the most skilled tugboat captain I’ve ever seen. That footage through the city was ace
hehe, thank you!
This has to be a euphemism.

Dinghy is definitely a great minicruiser, but as minicruiser it isn't inherently comfortable haha

Much appreciated! And it's just inverting the roadside washer not the whole bushign! should make it a tiny bit more lively :)

Great video, bro. Trying to jump back in to skating after stopping for decades. You've helped me make my mind up.
Go for it!
Man my feet and ankles fatigue so fast on a dinghy. I’ll have to look into a tugboat! Excited for the new channel!
Lots of very cool footage in this video. Those downhill bike paths are sick. I feel like gslides would be really fun for this setup.
That would be cool too. I imagine they're just harder snakes?
Great review and nice footage.
Really good job.
Subscribed!!!
awesome footage my guy and love your wheel comparison vid, I also rock the kegel now.
You powerslide so effortlessly and beautifully, my friend! Great technique!
Thank you! Cheers!
Waiting for the full review! I got my tugboat with 130 bear and fatty hawgs with flipped washer on both front and back trucks. Very fun board! Waiting for my ez hawgs.
should be fun with the ez hawgs!
Hi thanks for the review,
Which board will u recommand to complete my drop cat 38? Sometging fun that i can carry that can turn in short corner ? Tugboat or surfskate ? Or something else?
Highly underrated bro!!!!!
And skilled
Awesome review! Am also in Kenya. Subscribed!
Goood luck with the new channel!
Awesome video bro! Thanks for the in detailed review
for a beginner who is fearful of wheels locking and falling off board forward, do you recommend tugboat or pranayama?
Looks smooth
Awesome review- please keep the videos coming!
Thanks! Will do!
If I change RKP trucks instead of using TKP trucks on my Tugboat, will it turn better and more stable in this case?
Great presentation
Great video! Which one of the two is better to ride carving style?
the 130mm I think would be better, if thats what you're referring
Great video! Trying to decide between this and the Landyachtz Ripper! This helps!
Ripper review coming in a few weeks!
This is really an amazing amazing video riding through the city like this 👏🏽🔥🏆 what camera were you using to film this? +LongboardExplained
Just my go pro 9, with an nd filter
Personally I love my globe Blazer for cruising how about you have you ever tried it? 🤔
What kind of camera and gimbal are you using when skating? Nice video!
Just my go pro 9 and a selfie stick. No gimbal involved :)

@@LongboardingExplained Cheers Man! Have Lovely Day.
whats your fav board for commuting for 3 mile distance? ( in the suburbs, between semi smooth streets but cracked sidewalks and gravel ?)
Comet Cruiser! Handles it all with easy but is still super portable
@@LongboardingExplained thank you!!! just watch your review on it. going to place an order if Its not at my local skate shop. . do you think the DINGHY TURBO FLIGHT/King is similar ?
I wanted to ask if Mindless cruiser boards are ok? Just wanted to ask you, maybe you had one of these!
Should be ok! I've only stood on one and it was pretty alright :)
@@LongboardingExplained Ok, thanks for answering!
Dude, you do some rallying out there!
great vid, keep up the good work
Thanks, will do!

@@Draxzy the DB minicooper, tsunami, Sashimi, and bear are good options. Idk how agile they'd be, but they should be comfortable.
is it the 130mm or 155mm trucks you tried?
155mm, 130mm is far better
@@LongboardingExplained thx
Can you suggest me the best cruiser to do some basic tricks too?
LY ATV
You look a lot like that downhill254 guy
Because he is that guy
@@DieGebruederSmash Is he thoughh?? Is he??
Na its his twin brother of course 🤣 keep the videos coming man u the best 🔥

@@TheGreenerish Sure, is this video ruclips.net/video/IeHvClQIKS0/видео.html
awesome!!
What's your other channel buddy ?
downhill254!
How do you rate it as beginner friendly? (Compared to the Dinghy)
Veeerry beginner friendly for a minicruiser
what you need is a dinghy blunt
Now there is the new tug boat with 130 mm polar bears
just seen it! It looks awesome
Why u got odd wheels lmaoo
Change to independent trucks bro. Tighter back looser front trucks
I have some Paris I'm gonna be trying
abuga man
cool video
