Thank you keep reading this article. A longboard is just a skateboard that's much longer than usual, and used for longboarding (as opposed to skateboarding). Instead of street style skating using ramps and pipes, longboards are almost always used for downhill racing, getting from point a to point b, or cruising around town. For longboards are not ideal for doing any kind of tricks when we are riding the skateboard because longboards are heavier than a standard board ( short skateboard). Longboarding is compared to surfing, like "surfing on land" or "surfing on concrete". The design of the longboard allows big turns and quick carves just like the surfers do.

Smaller wheels sometimes have problems with sticks, rocks, and cracks in the street or sidewalk.
