for longboards is flex 1 stiif or bendy
It depends on your weight and the length of the board. Thelonger the board is the more likely that it will bend more.But dont worry if it bends a little more than usual longboardsare ment to hold a lot of weight, and are very hard to breakby standing on it or riding it.
yes, but it is really hard
Flex is a measure of how bendable the stick is, the flex has nothing to do with left of right handedness. For high school players the standard flex is 85, with some of the stronger players using 100 flex. You want a flex that is going to allow you to get as much snap as possible when you shoot. The lower the flex, the easier the stick bends.
Longboards are crafted with bamboo in order for flex and durability. Bamboo is usually on boards that are meant for a hold on the rider. The flex of the board allows the rider to be more cushioned with the board, causing less slippage and more grip between the board and the rider. Bamboo is very tough, but it is not recommended for those above 200 lbs. Bamboo boards are also ideal for downhill riding, because of their flex. Non-flex bamboo boards are all-around good boards, because of their long life and strength. Maple/Mahogany is the most common board material, allowing less flex, but more overall stability. These boards are usually pin-tails or Drop-through/Drop-down decks that are used for downhill riding or sliding/free-riding. These boards are good to use for most weight ranges, and can be meant for anything from downhill, to free-riding to just cruising. All-in-all, both types of boards are great. It all just depends on personal preference. Get out there and skate!
No...
The smaller the board the easier it will be to do snaps and turns. There is really no length limit because the professional longboarders can snap their longboards just fine. But it is easier to do turns on a shortboard.
yeah they can, the best is a phoenix flex fender :)
Hi We do not offer them anymore we decided to discount everything. Ryan Ehlers Ehlers Longboards
yes, any standard skate bearing is compatible with longboards, they both use the same bearings
The original type of skateboard is much better than the other! It is very hard to do tricks on longboards and on plastic cruisers
Gravity is a company that makes longboards.
