r/cruiserboarding

I’m going to regularly be in a situation soon where the best way for me to get there is to skate ~5km, but then I have to walk around with the board for a few hours before skating home. It’s got me thinking about balance between rideability and carriability, but I’m having a really hard time finding weights online.

My lightest setup is the Zenit AB Maze, 3.1kg with Pantheon Stylus trucks and Mango Seismic Tantrums. It’s honestly not that bad to carry, but it’s going to be awkward to deal with in a crowd for that long so I’m looking at smaller/lighter options.

Is anyone willing to weigh a Comet Cruiser, Landyachtz Dinghy, Heated Wheel Polarizer or any other small boards they think would be a good option for this?

One could say I've bought too many boards in one year, but in my defense they're all very different! This one I simply couldn't resist. It's just so damn cool.

Did a little test ride before the rain started, and I love it. It's compact but stable. And rolls so smooth.

Decided to explore a mall near our place and turned out there is a -1 level parking lot, barely used, that has been waiting for us to skate it! The angled risers and the soft 65mm give out a nice surfy feeling.

The conversations on this board really helped me figure out the right parts for what I was looking for. Thanks y'all. I don't think I completely screwed this up, and we had a blast putting it together.

- 10.35" Winkowski Agave Snake board by Santa Cruz

- Independent 169 Stage 11 trucks

- 1/4" rubber risers

- 60mm 78a OJ Super Juice wheels

- Bones Reds bearings (with spacers)

- Jessup grip tape

Just got this deck in the mail. Madrid grub 8,25" with blood orange jammerz and independent trucks! Lot of fun cruising around!

Got an unbelievable deal on this Arbor Pilsner. I’ve never had one and I’ve really liked this artwork since I first saw it. The ride is okay overall but I think I’m spoiled with Hawgs wheels. The Arbor ones are 78a but the ride felt pretty rough, so I swapped some Fatties on there and it feels so much smoother. Will likely change the bushings out as well as I’m a little hefty and I value stability over everything else. Beyond neighborhood cruising, I go to the pump track. Can’t wait to try it out there.

First old man curb shredder set up. Got it to cruise for when my kids want to go ride. Didn't know it was stranger things when I picked it. Lol.

Additional throwback photo from my youth. I used to skate any shape back then.

Something about me growing older is I am now super into heroin skateboards so Ill be acquiring something soon. But for now, salba shapes reign supreme.

I’m super hyped!🫶

What do you think and which wheels do you prefer ?

9,5 inch Santa Cruz deck
149mm Indy’s with riser
Mob grip
Bones super reds

To the untrained eye: It's a fall! For me, it was a great day, a broken shoulder and a lot of pain, but man, what a great feeling. I hope to heal soon and do it again.

What yinz think? Gonna need to get some hard bushings though.

Yo dudes, I’m looking to get some softer wheels on my new Lander Rio (amazing little cruiser). Any recommendations?

FWIW, I really like the way my Hawgs wheels feel on my Landyacht Dinghy Coffin hanging up on the wall, but they are pretty big. Same goes for those shark wheels on my Penny Nickle hanging up as well.

Thanks!

Anyone interested in this deck? If youre a ninja turtles fan you'll know this is a replica of Donnie's board from the 1990s movies. Im a big tmnt fan but figured id let this go if someone wants to set it up and cruise it! Letting it go cheap! I put the same black tail guard he had on his and all you would need is some black rails, Slap some orange wheels on it and it'll be movie accurate and legit! $50 bucks takes it home and ill ship it for free! Pm me.

Just wanted to show off the Yamba 500 I picked up from decathlon to cruise around town/skate to work occasionally. I do think I underestimated how hard it would be to learn to skate; it took me a full day to be comfortable with lifting the front trucks and a second day to get to grips with tic tacs (can’t properly do them moving yet). Hopefully on my way to a manual. Any tips/advice is greatly appreciated!

I’ve been riding this thing around the neighborhood for a couple of weeks now. I have it set up with Brian Anderson Ace AF1 55 trucks, 1/8” risers, Bronson Raw bearings, 65mm 81a Fireball Tinder wheels, Fireball Dragon hardware, Lil Jawns rails and skid plate, and Mob Grip.

It’s a really comfortable platform and a real nice push. The huge wheel wells prevent wheelbite even with the articulation of the AF1 trucks.
The deck is roughly 28.5” x 8.5”(close to a Dinghy Blunt) and it has almost a 16” wheelbase.

I like it a lot. I paid a lot for it piecing it together. However, I prefer my Landyachtz Dinghy(pictured for comparison) or my Comet Cruiser. It’s likely a top 5 cruiser for me. I probably wouldn’t recommend just because of the price.

After riding my Landyachtz Switchblade 40 for a few years, I’m pretty stoked to finally try something smaller like a Skiff.

The Switchblade’s been awesome, especially as a big double-drop deck, but I’m excited for something that feels a little more playful and easier to mess around on. Landyachtz had those Oops deals going, so I had to capitalize and cop this deck while I could.

Anyone here ridden a Skiff? Thoughts or suggestions welcome
