TIPS ON GOOD CRUISERS
A LITTLE GENERAL ABOUT CRUISER BOARDS
A cruiser is usually a board that focuses on comfort and stability. Sometimes, but not always, they are longer in the model. However, a board that is too long can be difficult to maneuver if you are a child or weigh less. Cruising and downhill are two riding styles that are each other's opposites, you could say. The first classic longboard was of the shape pintail which is the teardrop-shaped model. A model that is still alive and is really nice to slide on. When cruising it can be nice to have a little flex Cruising sometimes involves “dancing”, which is a form of balancing act where you walk around/dance on the board while riding and turning. A really cool way to impress those you pass on the ride.
TIPS ON GOOD ALLROUND/FREERIDE BOARDS
A LITTLE GENERAL ABOUT ALLROUND/FREERIDE BOARDS
An all-round board is a board that should be good at everything, which is usually a bit difficult. Cruising and downhill are two riding styles that are opposites of each other, you could say. But freeride could be said to be in between these. It is usually about being able to ride down a few hills. It doesn't necessarily have to be fast, but it usually involves a lot of technique. It is in this type of riding that sliding usually comes into play.
