Are longboards easier to learn on compared to traditional skateboards?

I'm not 100% sure but I think the wider the trucks the easier it is to learn. I really wanted one of those small neon penny boards and I was told they are awful and hard to learn on but trendy because they are so small. The cool thing about a longboard is that you can carve which allows you to go slower and relax a bit. With a normal small board you just go straight so it's kind of scary to figure out how to stop and you get a lot more speed. Hope this helps! This longboard is really awesome by the way.

They sure are Carola ! Like a surfboard, going bigger gives you more stability. I originally bought this one for myself, and had to get another one for my 7 year old son he loves it so much

Well depending on the parts of the board. And the turning is kinda difficult except if you keep practicing on the board.

No, the board is mainly used to learn how to ride, carve, and some dancing. However, this board does allow you to learn how to slide(just not very well).

Absolutely, this board is great for beginners. When I first received it, it was my first time riding a longboard. But with this board, I learned very quickly.

Most definitely! I bought this board basically right after I rode on a friend's longboard earlier that day. I was so excited that I didn't fall off the first time and that it reminded me of being on a surfboard, that I bought this board the same day. It's a beautiful board and it's a great price, so it's worth it.

There really I no difference from beginner to "professional". I've used oujia boards a few times in the past year I wouldn't say I saw any major differences other than te material the board and eye are made of.

having this being my first longboard I'm not very knowledgable on the situation. I have only ridden about 3 longboards all very different. I order this one on the advice of a friend and have had no complaints. How long it is can be an inconvenience, but that's what you get from a LONGboard. Other than that it rides extremely smooth and turns well. I don't think different size wheels would change month or be with it

I think it would work well for non beginners also. It really depends on what you would want for your board. You could probably change everything if you wanted to.

This one is my first and only I love it. And you never really know what suits you until you try it out. Some people like long boards and some penny boards. But this is def a great board. I hope I answered your question.

I think longboard trucks use a standard size. If you drilled them according to a previous set, you should be fine. I bought these for my kid and the skateboard isn't here right now so I can't measure.

I also had the same back in the days. The feeling is exactly the same, versatile on any conditions, lots of feedback basically you dont think about the board just concentrate on fun. The only difference in my case is that i found it a bit slower than before , but it could just me with more kilos onboard, lol. But overall same fun as back in the days, just make sure you get a good set of flippers.

I think so. The one I had was very wobbly and they are hard to turn. The wheels seemed too loose. I think a skateboard is safer.

I am not into tricks, but I can tell you that in my opinion the wood part is sturdy, and the trucks are not top of the line, the wheel are the trick wheels, so I changed them to cruiser wheels. All in all a good value, and a good beginner board.

Yes you can but its harder to steer then a regular surf or paddle board because its weight. Pretty much if you can ride any wave that you could ride on a longboard.

Yea, all the hardware is regular skateboard stuff. You could swap out the trucks/wheels/whatever.So yes, a regular skate tool will work perfectly.

I had used this longoboard for 3 months in miami, and after all is not too much bad. I was a beginner and i had realized immediatly that It was't as good to turn as the other longboards of my friends and it had not a great control to cruis To the city. But it has a nice Speed even Though is not the best long if you are looking for a professional one.

My 9 year old really can carve on these scooters. They handle in a different way to the one wheel front and back scooters. I am 48 and want the adult version. They are more stable and provide more confidence. I would get a long board skate board but would end up in hospital. They are well made and I would suggest only this brand.
