im not even sure if anyone else in AG longboards but me, but if you do, or have question in regards to longboarding, how to do longboarding tricks, what sort of gear to get, and what brands are good, then this is the place to be.

if its your first time posting, tell me what kind of gear youre rolling with.


me personally, i am rolling right now with a KlassNine (local colorado company) 45 inch pintail layout board, seismic trucks, and 72MM slalom series wheels with super red bearings.

Whats the difference between a 'longboard' and a 'skateboard'? Besides the blatantly obvious that a longboard is long.

Never really understood that.

all longboards are skateboards. but not all skateboards are longboards. Most longboards have bigger trucks, some have reverse kingpin trucks for sharper, smoother turns, also to be considered a "longboard" the wheels are usually bigger than normal.

I would longboard a lot but... where i live there are no hills):
