I love how you guys mention longboards in these vids. For those who are just getting into riding and might not know that longboards are a great way to get hooked on board sports!
There are tricks you can do on a longboard, but they're not going to be the same bag of tricks. Longboards are so heavy and large that there's no easy way to pop and flip the board. It is possible to do a kickflip and maybe a few other simple flip tricks, but most of the tricks for longboards are either downhill slides or freestyle/dance oriented. 👍
Hey can i ask you what is the name of some longboard tha pro downhill people use like i see them ride like a flat cruiser but idk if it is a longboard or what the one that have flat surface and the shape of a cruiser
You can use a regular skateboard for downhill and freeride, but it won't be nearly as stable and will get sketchy really fast if you're going down some bigger hills.

@@tacticsboardshop sorry for asking this much questions but why some longboards don't need griptape cause i wanna buy one and don't know if i should put grip tape on it
@@anonymoussubscribed9178 Your longboard is going to need griptape. If one doesn't need grip tape, that means it already has grip on it or the top of the deck has clear spray-on grip. Riding down a hill on a longboard with no griptape would be really really sketchy! 😄 - Tim
That was actually a sample blank shaped deck from a factory we were considering getting boards from so we could check out the shape before getting a big shipment of them. But I don't think we ended up getting those ones. The graphic on the bottom was just a bunch of sharpie doodles from some skate friends. 🤷♂️ - Tim
I saw zflex chisel 32 cruiser. Is it ok to do tricks and go downhill? Because its shape looks concave, it has kick tail, and the nose looks longer than any other cruiser.
It should be fine for whatever you want to do. If it has soft wheels, they might make it a little difficult to do tricks but other than that you should be able to skate it however you want. 👍
@@tacticsboardshop Thank you so much I’ve been trying to figure out how to get some really weird shaped decks like that for a long time now I really appreciate it. 🙏🏽

Yup! Welcome all the way babyyy. They have a shape for everyone. I ride them exclusively these days. So fun.
Really late but how do you chose the with of a bord
I'm late, but would you still be able to do tricks if you were to buy a longboard instead of a skateboard?

What about a freestyle decks ?
Hey , I’m after a different type of deck , I saw this deck with a pointed nose and the back was sort of like a fishtail ?
That’s a cruiser deck
Hey can i ask you what is the name of some longboard tha pro downhill people use like i see them ride like a flat cruiser but idk if it is a longboard or what the one that have flat surface and the shape of a cruiser
so many views but barely any comments
Can we use regular skateboard downhills and free ride?

@@tacticsboardshop can you give me some affordable longboard names pls and what do you think i should buy for downhills and freerides.

I know I’m late but what shape and brand board is that at 0:42

What was the skateboard in the video
Which one ☠
Haha
Damn this is just pushing me to buy new skateboard
Fun fact you can buy old school skateboard replica decks
I’m wondering what the super weird shaped deck @0:52 was and where I can get it I’m always looking for a challenge and plus it looked super sick
That is an Alltimers Oreo deck. You should definitely check out Alltimers, they do a lot of hilariously shaped decks! 👍 - Tim

You forgot freestyle
