If you feel conflicted, just get both. I just bought a cruiserboard just for specifically cruising. My longboard is great and durable. Now I wanna learn dancing maneuvers on it. So if I'm just wanting to cruise, I'll have a board just for the cruising. Longboard for both cruising and dancing at the same time.
I started commuting daily with a longboard AND cruiser (Drop Cat 38 and Poke) and the cruiser is my go-to. Agility = safety so navigating cracks, curbs, cars and people is much easier on the Poke
I just want o say that I love ❤️ your channel, I got into longboarding/cruising thanks to you. First I bought a pretty decent cruiser board from a local longboard shop, which I liked, but after some time I felt like it was time for and update. So I gave the cruiser to my lil bro who also started longboarding and bought the drop cat 33 from Landyachtz. I have it for like almost a year and a half, and it’s pretty much perfect 👌. Keep up the good content you deserve more!!!
Option 3: get a short longboard. DB, Landyachtz, and Loaded, for example, make 33" longboards that aren't much longer than a cruiser or old-school, 80's-style skateboard, but they boast the cutouts and big wheels of a longboard and more portability and agility than a big 41" or 44" longboard or pintail. I have one of these little guys with massive 90mm wheels, and it's a lot of fun.
I have a old cruiser bird from about 5 years ago and wanted to reuse it as transportation, I was really interested on cruising, only making a Ollie, and pumping, this is perfect
'Sup man. Just got a 26 inch cruiser with a 40 inch longboard. I agree with the fact that lugging the longboard around kinda sucks, but I do feel it's ride is slightly smoother. Both are way easier than the regular skateboard, and you can even pop an ollie or shuvit on a cruiser, so I don't see myself going back to riding a popsicle. Great vids by the way. Peace dude.
Bought a dinghy and it’s so freaking amazing dude anyone thinking about getting one get it it’s so worth it it’s just such a smooth fast surfy board I’ve had it for a week and already made a ton of fun memories with my friends they’re all getting one now😂

I started on a nickel board years ago and put grip tape on it. Still have it to this day. I love that little thing but i do prefer a long board . Nice video! Thanks for the content !
Nickel board huh? I’m getting a penny board very soon! I’m curious about what makes them so popular with so many people so I had to get one myself to try out😁
@@OgdenSikel that’d make a great video lol. I think they’re just so popular because they’re so small and portable. And they’ve been around a long time. 🤙
@@J4Hamz they’re not necessarily for tricks but I’ve heard of some people doing tricks on them. I find it pretty difficult to do them but I honestly dont do very many tricks to begin with. So i just use mine for cruising for the most part. Hope this helps🙂
Trust me cruiser boards are soooo fun they are amazing I’ve had both a longboard and cruiser and the cruiser is definitely more fun and just in generally better
@@J4Hamz well I had a longboard and you can’t do tricks like the cruiser board and the cruiser board is easier to take around still smooth so basically the cruiser is a smaller longboard which can do more things
@@initcodel4722 just wanted to point out that you can absolutely do tricks with a longboard specially with a freestyle shape, but they are longboard tricks, not skateboard tricks.
I mean I have both and they are both great in their own ways. I did get the cruiser after the longboard and it is a bit better when turning and not long more skateboarding stuff
Cruiser boards can't handle massive wheels, and I need massive wheels because the roads where I live are apocalypticlly bad. So I just use a push/commuter board which is about 25" wheelbase so it's got the benefits of a cruiser without a kick tail.
i think my next board will be a cruiser after i learn to balance better with my longboard. its heavy af but the longboard is really for me to make into a sailing board.
I'm just gonna take my popsicle deck and put a riser pad, new bearings and bigger softer 60mm wheels cause my 99a 52mm wheels suck to ride with on roads that aren't smooth
Awesome video! Thanks for all the info you’re dropping here. Can you make a video on drop thru cruiser boards? I’d like to start on w cruiser board with a low center of gravity. Is there such a thing? Any recommendations? Thanks again and awesome channel. You got a subscriber.
I’m not quite sure if that’s really a thing...I think they would mostly be classified as longboards. The closest thing to that I can think of would be the landyachtz drop cat 33...if you consider a cruiser board to be 33 inches long
hey man, you've great videos, although, I wanted to ask that I wanted to buy something to commute to work and I've never rode any skateboard, do you think cruiser board would be easier for me to learn at start?
Cruiser boards are NOT more aerodynamic than longboards, the tail works the same way as an airbrake on fighter aircraft The nose pointed up reduces friction with ground (although you would have to go insanely fast to notice it), it does it by generating lift whicb is an opposing force to gravity (main soutce of not being able to go 300mph on a skateboard)
I bought a (big) cruiser two weeks ago. Do you know why the rubbers that are in the trucks squeals when I turn the board? I gotta change them? Are they dry 'cause are old? Gotta lube them with something? Btw, I've subbed. Bybye
Haha you should find it by searching “titanium magnetic therapy necklace” on Amazon….tbh wouldn’t recommend tho cuz the links kept falling out and I eventually got a different necklace that imo is way better looking and doesn’t break…feel free to see my latest upload for that necklace in case ur curious
What about long cruiser boards? I got a 37" kruuze board as my first board, it was was pretty easy to learn the basics of skating but I'm struggling to get efficient at pumping
I would probably classify that as a 'cruiser style longboard' because of the length. They usually are not the greatest boards which might be why you're struggling with the pumping
@@OgdenSikel in fact I got it for a cheap price, it was good for learning because of the large deck and pretty stable setup, but now after a year longboarding I probably need to upgrade it. Looking at your other videos I'm oriented to a Loaded board, I have a doubt between the icarus and the tan tien, as right now my main focus would be on carving and pumping, but I would also like to get into freestyle. Are the icarus kicks enough to learn some first tricks?
I bought it a week ago and have no idea how to maintain it and I’m scared it sound loose as one of the wheels of the 4 makes a jangle sound- I just bought it
Well if you don’t already have one, get a skate tool! You can tighten any loose bolts to make sure everything is locked in properly. With the wheels, I like to tighten them down, then loosen a half rotation so that the bearings can still spin properly. If your board is making squeaky sounds you might need some wax in the trucks. I have a video on how to solve that which I posted a few weeks ago!
You do understand that longboard And cruiserdboard are much more aerodynamic than you standing on them to the point that difference in them are nonexistent, right?
I just got into Longboarding 3 days ago and it's been such a fun time that I got too enthusiastic and bought a second board not realizing it was cruiser. What should I do to get accustomed to it?
Coming from a sb that does this every day, Cruise boards are meant for higher speed and skilled boarders I guess you could say for dropping hills on smooth road while longboards are basically much more durable, easier to maneuver yet a small bit safer due to the difference in size. In my opinion if your looking for an adrenaline rush and some speed then I’d stick with the cruise boards but if your just looking to have a chill good time then id stick with the longboard
Bones reds or zealous are my go-to’s. If you want slightly more pricey ones, landyachtz spaceballs (after breaking them in) have been the best performing ones for me

@@OgdenSikel Yeah but not really I mean have you heard of "tucking ", or making your body more compact than the other riders? For less wind resistance, but other than that, the board has very little to do with it
Depends on a lot of factors, so you cant really say on type is faster than the other. I'd say cruisers generally have a faster acceleration so they may seem faster but longboards have a higher top speed when you're really going fast. Wheel size can affect this a lot too though, so it's not just the deck.

Oh buddy get an electric cruise board
Cruisers are fine at the skatepark but I wouldn't bring a longboard bc it could definitely get in the way at the park (obv depending on the park size)

Longboards don't have a kicktail. Isn't this the biggest difference?

Bro now you’re just straight up sending me mixed messages 😪😪😪
ur kidding about the cruiser cutting through the wind right?
im confused your two vids literally contradict each other? Which do you use daily?
These videos try to point ot pros of both
Now u can decide wich pros are most important to you
would you recommend a 22 cruiser for someone who never tried skating before?

what is the width of your cruiser board?

You do understand that longboard And cruiserdboard are much more aerodynamic than you standing on them to the point that difference in them are nonexistent, right?
Already answered a comment on this
That board is too small for your feet lol it’s like high heels

Depends on a lot of factors, so you cant really say on type is faster than the other. I'd say cruisers generally have a faster acceleration so they may seem faster but longboards have a higher top speed when you're really going fast.
