For commuting, you don't need a nose, and you're better off without one. You do need big, soft wheels because there will be all kinds of debris and rough pavement. I usually road a 27" x 8.5" no-nose single-kick on 60mm OJs and Independents.
Skinny popsicle or a wider popsicle with wheel wells and 14.75" WB with 58 - 63mm wheels are great do it all boards that tick all boxes. Racing longboards (thin and short) are good commuters if you have the cash.
Awesome video. I’ve skated my whole life but never set up a cruiser before until recently. I just like a fatter board and super soft wheels to be quieter and that’s a cruiser for me
Stoked I found your channel recently. It looks like you like the old school style which I also like. I've been riding Powell Peralta reissues for a while now and am so used to the flat shape that it's hard to ride something else haha. Was wondering what old school skaters inspire you..? I saw in a couple videos you were doing some sick old style slappies like Jason Adams..so sick
Love your reviews. What's the safest wheel for a scared old guy skating bowls only . I'm not talking about me I'm just wondering, in your opinion what would you say
Powell Petalta G-slides not as cushy as OJ but are the best cruiser wheel which can power slide fairly easy. Just for cruising with no powerslides OJ super juice is the top wheel 🍊, keeps speed very well and plows through cracks and pebbles.
I spy that Antihero Big Bord in the back 👀 great video as always!

As always Thorne, good stuff. I thought you had a zip zinger, curious why you used your friend's.
Great video
All you need is a set of OJ Super Juice; wheels, the rest is gravy. :)
Can you do a video comparing the 99a and 97a bones x formula
