    I have both and I can say: both are great, the use you make of them depends on your purpose. For long rides, I recommend a longboard. For shorter, faster rides to get from A to B, a cruiser would be just fine. That's pretty simple.

      I`m trying to find the ultimate trucks for pumping on flat ground, to use on a cruiser and move around town. would you have any sugestions? didn`t seem to find any videos on this specific subject.

    Started with Longboard, now i'm into Surfskating. I don't need to push again...nearly.
    It is the most joyful moving for me this time. And it's so maneuverable.

    I like cruisers because you can still Ollie and stuff on them like a skateboard but they are also way easier to cruise on like a longboard. Also it’s basically built for pumping so it’s easier to get sperd

  • @bertmcd48

    I've been finding longboarding to be more difficult than a cruiser with me being a beginner still. It was mainly because the flex in the longboard made me feel not as confident because it's more unstable. The cruiser I was able to get in no time. I'm 6'4" 225 lbs with a size 14 shoe so I think the width in the cruiser help that part of my stability and balance.

    • @gurnoorsingh7469

    I own both but my longboard's an electric longboard. Honsetly, the electric is what I go for but my partner loves the cruiser 29". Supposedly, I bought the cruiser for myself for learning tricks and the longboard for her cuz she's a total newbie, just started skating this year and we rarely go out to do it, but she loves my cruiser and prefers it than the more stable longboard. I've been riding for years not that often too but I was the one who taught her how to ride, and yet she outshines me in this department. For me I prefer longboard, but both are great. I'm 5'4 and my partner is 4'11. Boards I own is the P.O.P. Olive cruiser 29" and the Black Hawk electric skateboard (longboard not sure what inch cuz it was passed to us from a friend).

    I live in a difficult place for a choice.
    There's a LOT of mountains and upward hills. Almost everything goes up and down.
    It's also one of the major centers of the country meaning a lot of people.
    So I would love just the smooth travel with the long board, but the cruiser's maneuverability and portability would make it much more convenient and useful in the city.
    Also the longboard's size might be an inconvenience and loosing control over.
    If the longboard is faster and stable then that's great. Problem is again, lots of ups and downs. So I wouldn't want to go 50 mph and crash.
    There is a lot of flat and open fields as well like you show. But then I go into the open forest area, which also has a lot of ups and own hills and lots of mountains. Except much more curved.

      Depends how far you want to go and how bumpy the ride is. If you ride far and have more bumps I would go with the longboard. But cruisers are still super dope for those shorter rides and if you making a lot of sharp turns.
