Honestly not a good idea, putting pressure on your back truck is the exact reason speed wobbles occur. I mean you can use it without getting wobbles but for beginners it’s not a good habit to build
So mine came in. Something I didn't expect was how loud it was. Would think this cruiser would be quiet, was worried for a sec til I really inspected it. It's the pedal. The pedal regardless of how tight you make the brakes. The pedal it self does not sit snug so when riding, it was room to wobble to the sides, the pedal picks up all the vibration and so it rattles loudly. I can probably just place something in the extra space it has to prevent wobbling of the pedal and in case that gets in the way of the pressing down motion, making the brakes tighter and more responsive will help. Also glad to know there is no accidentally touching the pedal to brake as there is plenty of room on the board but that plays in not having the brake in reach commonly, you will have to adjust your back foot backwards till your sure you can reach the pedal with your heel at least, which can create speed wobbles at higher speeds. The pedal extension in the shop isnt a bad idea or you can just learn better foot placement. The deck itself is a bit more stiff than I like. The shape mine was in was more convex as well. I hope further use will wear down the stiffness. Front and back trucks came already loose, please tighten and inspect before riding, might have crazy wobbles if you just went for it out the box. Carving did feel a little weird but that could be me. Feel like breaking the board in with use and experience will yield better results. Aside from that, rides smooth, the pedal itself responds to all vibrations and wiggles loudly as it isnt snug and stiff regardless of brake tightness. Would like that touched on, slides wedging something in the extra space would help
I know some people have homemade or prebought "modified" boards that are run with a remote control motor, but I haven't seen one with such a small compact and not remote brake, that's sick!
wish I found it sooner at the beginning of my long board riding journey. i learned how to stop with my food the usual way, but this board will be a nice gift for my friends that are new to this hobby! super awesome!
What is crazy you can just buy the break system and install it on any board less expensive than an actual board I only use my longboard to be with my kid around since my actual skating day are way behind me I can't push for extended periods anymore my injuries over the years finally reached so no more daredevil for me but cant stop loving the wind on my face when riding will be trying this kit as soon as i can
Been a while since I last saw any of your videos, i'm so glad to be back to some amazing new board with brakes, it was my dream for someone to designe a board like that. Now i just gotta keep dreaming I can have money to buy one.
I’m happy to be back! Longboard brakes are a super promising development that I think can go really far and have a unique opportunity for growth and deck designs! I hope they keep pushing the deck and components quality with their future boards! (And pls no spray grip tape 😭)
Great review! Thorough, informative and interesting settings to test the board in. One question though. What did you think about the noise issue? I also have a VibeRide board and one of the main gripes for me - more so than the tail - is the noise issue caused by the all-metal hardware. On the plus side, people on the sidewalk definitely hear you coming, so they jump out of the way much quicker, but my main and pretty much only gripe is that the board is quite a bit noisier compared with regular longboards. Small price to pay for the convenience of having a break though.
I’ve been curious about this board since I started seeing ads for it. Does it allow for use with other wheels? And if so, do they have to be the same diameter as the original ones for the brakes to work?
Ik this is a little late but yes and no. The back truck and wheels have to be the same but the front can be whatever you want. VibeRide has said they are working on finding a way to customize the wheels though.
A couple questions: does the modified rear truck/brake add much weight? And do the brakes wear down the wheels or bearings as they press on them repeatedly? Either way, a cool idea that might be the wave of the future.
You definitely can! But the two things that I noticed with that were that you have to shift your weight the opposite direction when braking to compensate for the stopping motion, and also moving your front foot upwards at high speeds can be a little more dangerous than your back foot. The front foot provides the most stability so it could cause speed wobbles at high speeds
HI I live in England ..been following you since learning longboard and found the lessons brilliant .thank you. I'd love one of these brake things as braking has always been the thing that stops me enjoying fully riding in town. Can I buy the trucks and put them on my loaded boards , Samma, Icarus , Poke ? Where can I buy the trucks thank you ? Mitch
Link to their website is in the description, and yes you can just but the trucks! They 100% will work with drop through longboards, but I am uncertain if they work with other types of decks...I'll do some testing on that!
Thanks for taking the time to reply. I'll buy one for my drop through. A couple of things might make you smile. I've got about 8 boards or so..poss too many ! Ha ! Loaded , Landyaught Arber Carver. But the Loaded drop through and the Dinghy were bought on your enthusiasm for them....brilliant boards ! Also I can ride ok now , along the sea fronts where I live, and can pump and carve confidently. With my surfskate I can skate almost indefinitely without foot pushing. But a few times at the beginning I wanted to give up as I thought I couldn't do it, or it may be thought silly at my age ! But your videos kept me going. I've even been showing other newbies tips and the other day someone said they saw me riding along the sea front and thought I had an electric board ! I dont. This long ramble is just so I can also add ...I love Longboarding ...for the exercise and the way it relaxes me like therapy from my busy work in health and social care....and lastly ....I started learning 3 years ago in my 50s ! Thanks again for the videos !
Hey, i have a cruiser board and i was wondering if I get a soft truck riser will it make the ride more comfy? I ride sidewalks here in Argentina that are not the best for skating but i manage to ride I use 78A 70MM wheels but maybe a small riser with no angle could make it better. I don't have problems with my wheels touching the deck *Btw love your videos, You help me a lot as a beginner haha🤘🏽
@@OgdenSikel Your very welcome! I was just curious because if you had to put a lot of weight down then it wouldn't be good for anything downhill/high speed since speed wobbles tend to happen from to much weight on the back end of the board :)
That makes sense! I don’t think you would have a problem, it’s a very light touch to activate! I’ll have to do some more testing myself at higher speeds!
Lol the new viberide video, so one made the same comments in this video and the viberide ppl responded saying that's just like this video and that Ogden was just looking for negative things to say lmao
I just saw that 😂😂😭😭😭 I stand by what I said though, the grip particles get all over my hands and replacing it is super annoying, regular grip is much better
@@OgdenSikel I agree, whenever I flipped it to try to adjust the brake hoping it would tighten the loose rattle like pedal, I got dust everywhere Kinda weird they just said that about you, I'm sorry lmao
Ehhh it’s not a big deal, at the end of the day they are a brand and want their boards to sell, so any negative feedback is probably not desired for marketing purposes haha, so no hard feelings!!
Yeah that’s one of the downsides, not being able to swap wheels. I’m told they’re working on developing one that you can change wheels but It probably won’t come out any time soon
On the flat ground almost nobody will need a brake and on a steep hill the brakes are inadequate to stop you , in fact they can barely slow you down ! Verdict = USELESS !
Yes! This sounds perfect for beginners. The absolute biggest fear we have is going too fast downhill and losing control.

If you don’t have $300, you have a bigger problem than not being able to afford a skateboard 😂
@@x4at197 Yeah, here in my country we can't have that much money, pretty much imposible for me. We're in a economic crisis since 2019.
been riding mine from school recently down some nice hills, been loving it!!!
YES! Finally someone reviews it. I’ve been waiting for one to see if it’d legit.
welcome back! glad to see some new content from you
Was literally JUST looking at your channel last night like "aw, been a while since he's posted"
He's fuckin BACK babeeeyyyyy
Thanks for sticking around, glad to have you!!
GREAT TO SEE YOU!!!!!!!
Glad to see you back saw your post on Instagram . Dope to see a product I always thought would be sick

good to see you back!
Where can I pick one up fully ready to roll.
glad ur back
Can you ride it backwards? Like break with the front foot?
Good review! Thanks!

I don't notice any added weight, so however much more there is, it isn't noticeable. I will do some testing with the brakes and if they cause wear!
Hi, I can't find this model right now Landyachtz Dinghy Turbo King, can you advise me which cruiser to take, compact and fast?
How much..
I must have .. .. where can I buy a pre made board all set up for 250 less$
2 questions brotha -
Am I able to change the wheels?
Will I be able to add wheel bite spacers ?
welcome back brother! is the truck a standard mount? can it be mounted to another drop-through deck?
you can mount to any drop through deck I believe! and you can buy the trucks/wheels just by themselves on their site!
Do they sell the truck separately and can you use your wheels of choice on it?
They sell separately yes! But I believe you have to use their wheels with them
@@OgdenSikel sweet thanks
Very cool 👏🏼👍🏼
Might be a stupid question, but why not ride it the other way around? Witht the brake at the nose side
You definitely can! But the two things that I noticed with that were that you have to shift your weight the opposite direction when braking to compensate for the stopping motion, and also moving your front foot upwards at high speeds can be a little more dangerous than your back foot.

I Need this shit!!! So much Hills and Mountains where i life.
And in do Not want to but a new set of shoes just because i Need to brake
What 360 camera? Regards from Poland 😎
Insta360 One X2! It’s an older one but works well!
@@OgdenSikel Thanks 🤝
Do you have to put a lot of weight on the pedal or does it stop easily with only a little bit of pressure? Also, I love your stuff!!
Thank you! It’s actually surprisingly little effort to push on the pedal, I had no issues whatsoever getting it to activate!

are they pay you for make this review?
long time no see

I would rather just buy the truck with the break in it
You can, but the wheels come with the truck. You can't use your own.
Yeah that’s one of the downsides, not being able to swap wheels. I’m told they’re working on developing one that you can change wheels but It probably won’t come out any time soon
@@OgdenSikel Buying just the brake and wheels is $$$$$$$
@viberide Wow that is awesome! looking forward to seeing that!
On the flat ground almost nobody will need a brake and on a steep hill the brakes are inadequate to stop you , in fact they can barely slow you down ! Verdict = USELESS !
Plus physics shows up braking with only the back wheels will cause wobbles or skids , so also dangerous !
Do you identify as a speed devil?
