- By popular demand, a second look at longboarding in Barcelona.
Watch Part One: • Barcelona Longboarding...
Part Two is focused on the long mellow city downhills (and cruising*s) that should put Barça on your must ride list. Riding by Original Team riders Aleix Gallimo and Axel Serrat on the Original Freeride 41 RockerConcave.

@paramorerandomness you could go for either the Pintail 43 with white heavy tension springs, or the Freeride 41 with rocker concave and bushing trucks. Both boards are great to learn on because they're stable. The Pintail is mostly for cruising and carving at lower speeds, and the Freeride is best for hills, higher speeds, slides, and even some freestyle.
@mexican6497 the rocker concave is reversed camber, meant for sliding and some freestyle riding. The W concave keeps your feet locked in during higher speeds.
@JTGKIDS take a look at the the torpedo 40. It's a good beginner board that is meant for cruising and carving, and also has a kick tail so you can do some freestyle as well. You may also be interested in the hybrid 35.
@DoubleT9798 the rocker concave is reverse camber, so it pushes the trucks out and makes sliding easier and freestyle tricks a bit easier. The W concave keeps your feet locked into the board for stability while you're bombing hills.
You can / could dance on either of those boards though neither are designed for dancing specifically.
We usually don't recommend the Apex 40 for beginners, but only because it is a more expensive board. It actually works really well for learning and my girlfriend loved learning on her's (she did get my discount). If you have the money it's great, but then again the Freeride is great for learning too.
I'd give the edge to the Apex 40 for dancing / freestyle tricks though for sure.
@Jtlake17 it's best for flat land freestyle. With bushing trucks it can handle speeds up to 25 or 30 mph. I would suggest the Apex 40 if you're looking to do freestyle and freeriding for more stability.
@kitecc our pintails are great cruiser boards, and they come in 4 different sizes. The Pintail 37 would be great for a campus because it's still small enough to pick up and go to class with.
@Mrmax878 the freeride 38 with rocker concave would be a good size board for you and is also a great board for sliding, freestyle, higher speeds, cruising, and carving
@hsaawesome3 a great beginner board that would be a good size for you would be the pintail 31. It's great for cruising and carving, and it's low enough to the ground and stable making pushing easy!
Depends on your heigh, weight, terrain, and riding style. Check out the Pintails- they are in that price range and are great beginner boards. -Joel
Check out the Apex 34! It's a good board for your size and it's great for cruising, carving, freestyle, and sliding since it's symmetrical shaped.
@cudi503 either the Apex 37 or the Apex 40 with rocker concave if you're looking to do freestyle. Some of our favorite sliding wheels right now are the Abec 11 flashbacks
The rocker concave is geared more towards freestyle since it is reversed camber and the kicks are taller. The double concave is meant more for freeriding and higher speeds.
@djadayxD Hey! The Pintail 43 is made with 9 plys so it is a good cruiser board for you if that's what you're looking to do. If you want a bit more flex and something that will be easier to carve with, then you may want the pintail 40.
For your height, I recommend going with the 41" for a wider stance. The 38" might feel too cramped for you. If you drop the trucks through the deck you'll be closer to the ground, making you more stable during higher speeds, but less responsive at lower speeds. Keeping the trucks top mounted is sometimes easier for sliding since the board is a bit more responsive, however, this means the board will be less stable.
@iRawrDinsawr freeride 41 with rocker concave if you're looking to do mostly freeriding and some freestyle. If you're looking to do mostly freestyle then you may want to go for the Apex 37 or 40 since they have a carbon fiber reinforcement bar and are much stronger to handle freestyle riding.
@Sultanaman23 the Freeride 38 is a good size for you, and the rocker will help you with sliding for sure.
@shootLI wheels make a huge difference! You want a wheel that has a rounded edge, and usually a harder durometer, above 80a. A soft wheel tends to grip to the surface, making sliding difficult. A harder wheel will slide easier.
The Apex 40 with rocker concave would be a good board for the type of riding you're looking to do!
@Jtlake17 the Apex 37 would be great!! If you're planning on doing harder freestyle tricks then I suggest the Apex 37 over the 34 because it's more durable since it has a carbon reinforcement bar.
Check out the Freeride 38s - they are smaller decks designed for shorter lighter riders. Should be good for sliding, and have kicks for doing some freestyle. That or check out the new Apex 37 or 37- they are composite decks, with carbon and PK nose guards. Super durable and great for freestyle. -Joel
@Originalskateboards In response Original, I do love these videos - they really inspire me to go out and skate! but ya the chill videos are good too.
traveled to Barcelona this previous summer. What a beautiful place
@pncho54 both concaves can handle freeriding and freestyle, however, the double concave is geared more towards speed.
Dear Original,
I'm new to longboarding, I just got the Freeride 41, and my dream is to travel around with you guys and do stuff like this and your Hawaii videos. Thanks for keepin' me dreaming.
oh my god, that was amazing , one of the best things i haave ever seen !
you have to click the "unassembled" option to continue with the order process. We are only shipping these boards out as unassembled.
@Deedeepilgirm take a look at our Pintail series! They come in 4 different sizes and are great for cruising and carving.
Barcelona is so beautiful. if i ever travel its here and Switzerland. Chill hills in one, steep monsters in the other.
Probably my 2 favorite riders! :) more please!
@JTGKIDS Check out the Apex 34. It's great for just cruising and carving around, and for freestyle riding.
if you are looking for freestyle and freeriding then go for the Apex 40! It is much more durable for tricks. And yes, they both have gas pedals!
@drummerboyymlim I would say any of the apex's would be great for you!
@theoneandonlymalik the Freeride 41 for your height, and rocker concave would be best for freeriding and freestyle.
@MegaLuis305 the Apex 37 middleweight would be a good board for you!!
just came back from barcelona, if your looking for somewhere to longboard, then barcelona spain is the place to be i saw over 10 longboarders in just an hour or so...fun times
@Demor95 thanks for providing us with your height and weight, but please let us know the type of riding you are looking to do so we can help you choose a deck that's best for your riding style.
Sorry we are out of stock at the moment. We should have more in mid late next week or the following week.
Nope, DiamondDrop didn't come out until after this video was made so Axel and Aleix were primarily on the Freeride 41 RockerConcaves.
i liked this one better than pt 1. when watching longboarding i love seeing the 70's style flips where use of hands and stepping off the board is needed. a kickflip and shit is cool, and im sure more difficult on these boards than a standard type skateboard, but i love watching the surf style that Original usually features in their videos.
not saying i wasnt impressed or entertained, its just pt. 1 felt more like every other skate video thats being made today.
Check out our Apex 40 with rocker concave if you're looking for a versatile board that is durable for tricks.
Hey CJ- It all depends on the type of riding you're interested in doing.
I think that freeride videos are the most interesting with hint of personal shorts (like riders talking/ messing around/ funny shit.) and then a couple freestyle tricks in there. just a simple opinion still loving the vidsss.
the streets are so smooth in barca i always thought it would be nice to longboard there
Thanks. This was a lot of help. I should be ordering one soon
Sincerely, A fellow long boarder
@4BlaBLuBDibLa4 The apex 37 is more because we its longer(meaning more material) and its a little bit stronger. I feel like the 34 is good for your size but if you want to grow with a board get the 37.
Yes! I loved the first video!
Our Pintails are great for that! Check out our Pintails video to see how they ride.
@Thewiseguy11 check out the Pintail series. They're great cruising and carving boards
@originalskateboards thanks a lot! Going to start looking for some right now.
Hey original, This video got me motivated alot and I was planning on buying one this Saturday if the Freeride R.C is also good for downhill? I just wanna bomb some hills now every now and then not most of the time.
@4BlaBLuBDibLa4 The Apex 34 is good for flat land cruising and freestyle riding. I wouldn't recommend it down hills. The Apex 37 is more durable since it has a carbon reinforcement bar, and can handle freestyle, as well as freeriding and smaller hills, and is great for cruising and carving.
Part 2!?!?! Awesome! Maybe part 3 as-well? :)
Today arrived my Original Freeride 41! (the first or one of the first in Argentina)!
I'm from BCN! I love longboard
They are all very different! Give us a call or go on our website to chat with us about the differences so we can help you choose a board that's best for your riding style! :) -Lindsay
Hey original, I'm 6 foot, 210lbs on a good day lol. Your videos are wat got me into longboarding, and I want to take my riding to the next level. I want to kno, which version of the freeride would be best for me. I want to get into more freeride/freestyle and downhill
well i do enjoy your new videos Original.
@GurliEriksson Hey! When you go on our site and click the buy now button you'll be able to see all of our available truck and wheel options.
sick video! love you guys
@4BlaBLuBDibLa4 nope, we make our own. We have a video called How To Make Your Own Slide Gloves if you want to make your own too, or you can purchase a pair from daddiesboardshop
yes, go with the rocker concave and you'll definitely have controlled, long standies
@hsaawesome3 look into a arbor blunt if you are just looking for a cruiser. If you wanna go down smaller hills it will work done too. I use mine for my around town board and have a freeride 41 rockerconcave for everything else.
Hi! im a beginner longboarder (1 years experience approx) im very intrested in that specifc type of longboard ur using, i just have one question regarding which trucks and which wheels you are using? are they in the options on the site you linked where you order the board? awesome video by the way! ;)
@jimtayhay on which type of board?
hey original, I've been interested in getting into longboarding and i was hoping you could help me out. What would be a good intro level board? I'll be using it primarily for cruising around town and around campus, maybe hit some really small hills if i find any. I also need one that won't break the bank ;)
Thanks a lot. love your videos
great video, the soul of longboard just have a good ride, whats the song?
80 kgs = 175lbs, the board will be perfectly in your range. It will have a very very slight amount of flex, good for freeride, great for freestyle, great all around.
@sundog12100 on what deck do you want your trucks? i have an freeride 41 with bear grizzly 852 and they are amazing. You can turn around the hangar to get more stability for freeriding and bombing. and for the freestyle you turn it back around and you have a more freestyle truck
@mostwanted192837465 I have an Apex 37. I'm thinking of getting the Apex 40 though. It's been suggested to get Paris 180's by most. Being able to flip the hangar sounds like a pretty sweet deal though. I don't do a lot of bombing really, and i'm getting Orangataing Nipple Bushings, so I need a pretty carvable truck, and I know the nipples only fit in certain trucks too
Those are both Freeride 41 rocker concaves
Hey Original, I'm really keen on buying a longboard and just using it to cruise and ride around. I have a skateboard which I just ride on but I can't do any tricks. I'm not good, I just like to skate that's all. What do you recommend for me? I'd like to cruise and just ride around and maybe do some basic tricks. Please answer! It would be much appreciated! Thank you! :)
@4BlaBLuBDibLa4 We have many shops that sell our boards in the U.S. Our shipping to Germany is $60.
Siii, mi bella ciudad ^^
@Miracleboyism send our customer support an email about your event, and we'll forward it to the event coordinator!
@Originalskateboards Yeah, sorry if i was unclear, but what i meant to ask was which of those options are you using in this video? :)
This is sick
Hey Original how durable is your freeride what is on it to protect it? Is their any fiberglass, is it tough wood or does it chip easily? My friend has a different freeriding board and its gas petals and tails are quite ripped up and I dont want my freeride 41 to end up like that.
@originalskateboards what is the difference between rocker concave and normal concave
Just got my freeride it's friken amazing and so easy to slide wlit
I have a very important question that has been killing me for weeks.Why does Original choose to ride Bear trucks as opposed to Paris or Randal?I've been on the truck hunt for weeks and can't figure out the best truck for me.I'd like to say I freeride and freestyle pretty evenly,and want to continue to be able to do both pretty evenly (i don't want to buy a truck designed for just freeride or just freestyle).My top options now are gullwing charger II, paris 180, or bear181 52 degree base plate
@Originalskateboards
Thanks for answering!
Do Originalboards have branches in America?
What would cost the Shipping costs to germany?
i was there last month!! on parque güell ^^
Hey original you should go to Greece and make a video.
Hey I'm in need of a good cruiser board to get around campus do you have any suggestions? Also what sliding gloves do you think I should get?
Hi original,
I'm 5'6 and weigh 110 lbs and I want to focus mainly on slides and just a little bit of freestyle. What board should I get? With what set up? Thanks
@TheAlvz well once you start trying this stuff, you gain alot more respect for them, becasue its so damn hard
i cant wait till christmas so i get my freeride beast!
I'm 5'6, 120lbs, and 14yrs old what board would you recommend for me, that isn't an apex. Don't get me wrong I love the apex i'm just wondering what other boards that you would recommend.
Hey, is there a big difference between the Apex40 double concave, apex 40 diamond drop, drop freeride 41, freeride 40 rocker concave and freeride 38 rocker concave expect the lenght? Because they seem to be all for the same sort of riding style
@Originalskateboards Thanks so much! Would it matter about size? I'm going to be 18 in Feb and i weigh roughly 60 so does it matter?
hey, i'm a guy 6'0 15 and 160lbs. what do you recommend for a board? i'm thinking about getting a freeride but not sure yet
wow this guy is awesomeee !!!
@Originalskateboards
Do you sell Longboarding Gloves too?
@theJESUSofcallofduty the 38" would be best for you.
@Originalskateboards
Thanks
Im new to boarding and i cant tell which to get freeride (stag) or apex 40? Is apex good for learning and can u dance on it?
@coola995 I have the Freeride 41 with w concave and it handles speed well
When I go to order the freeride 41 rocker concave bear 852 trucks are available. Are they not in stock anymore ???
I blinked once in thia whole video and usually I blink like at least 10times!!! C=
