What longboard should I get for downhill?
Decks in the length range of 37-43″ will be ideal for downhill. A shorter deck will leave you feeling unstable at high speeds while a longer deck will lack maneuverability. We do, however, recommend that beginners stick with longer setups until they are accustomed to higher speeds.
Are drop through longboards good for downhill?
They are great for cruising and carving and for most ride styles that keep you under 25 mph, while Drop Throughs have the trucks mounted through the deck. They are great for faster speed riding, downhill, and some long distance riding.

Can you use a downhill longboard for cruising?
While Pintails perform well at cruising speeds on smaller hills and parking garages, there are other decks designed with downhill in mind that make skating fast a much safer and more satisfying experience. If not for downhill, what are Pintail Longboards good for?
What is better a longboard or cruiser?
Overall, a longboard is more stable than a cruiser board. A longboard has a longer deck (and hence a longer wheelbase), larger wheels, and wider trucks. This provides added room for feet placement and higher shock absorption when rolling over cracks and crevices.
Is a cruiser faster than a longboard?
A cruiser picks up speed faster than a longboard and is more comfortable to stand on. To ensure that they are comfortable to stand on, cruiser boards are shorter than a longboard. Cruisers share some key similarities with a long board which explain why the stability is good on cruisers.
Is Longboard easier than cruiser?
Longboards are much more stable at speed due to their longer wheelbase. Flex varies a lot for longboards in general, but some flex helps makes cruising more comfortable om rough terrain, easier on the joins, and helps with carving. Cruisers often have a stiffer deck to allow for more pop when using the kicks.
What causes speed wobble?
Speed wobble is caused when something, either an inherent misalignment of the frame or components, or an outside force, that causes the wheels to track divergent paths. The frame flexes to allow this to occur until the action is overpowered by the self-correcting forces created by the bike’s steering geometry.
How much should I pay for a longboard?
In general, good-quality longboards cost anywhere between $150 to $450 for a complete. But if you are a beginner to the longboarding sport, it is probably best that you purchase a complete longboard that is between the range of $60 to $250.
Why is my vehicle wobbling?
The most common cause of vehicle wobbles in this speed range is a bent wheel or mildly out of round tire. Transmission and drive line issues can also show up in this range, but tires are the first thing to check. The most common cause of vehicle shakes at 50 mph or higher is tire balance.
When I accelerate my car stutters?
An acceleration problem is usually the result of insufficient fuel, air, or spark during the combustion process. Worn-out spark plugs or the electrical cables attached to them are one of the most common causes of cars stuttering.
Why does my car shake when I accelerate and brake?
The most common reason for a car to shake is related to tires. If the tires are out of balance then the steering wheel can shake. If your steering wheel shakes while you are braking then the problem could be caused by “out of round” brake rotors. This vibration can also be felt through your brake pedal.
Can over inflated tires cause vibration?
Over-inflated tires act like a bouncing ball. Sidewall stiffness and tread rigidity may trigger vibrations, providing less tire-to-road contact area and causing the tread to quickly wear in the center. Tires affected this way are prone to damage and blowouts.
