Shit man, thats what you've got to do if you want something of quality. Plus with a longboard it's better to do that cause you ain't gotta worry about snapping your board, ollying or hitting kickflips and shit, then being SOL on spending a bunch of money on hardware lmao.

thanks man.
I found it at the store and was like "yes, this design is dope". They almost sold out, but one left, this one, hada warped board, but when u rode it, it was fine. Luckily no one bought it until i did. I got lucky.
Love the colors and design for sure.
Makes me wanna make a collection of longboards, just for fun.
A custom board would be amazing too. I bet its spendy thou.

Haha yeah dude thats usually what will happen if u buy it straight out the store usually theyre warped or some shit. But yeah it's expensive to get all the gear together plus a deck that's worth a fuck, a longboard surprisingly costs more than a shortboard lol Fucking kills me

I personally dont worry about getting injured for my job cause fuck it if I do get injured or if I fuck my leg up or something I'll just deal with it, it's all part of skating haha.
But I understand why you wouldn't just a passion of mine, I hate not being able to go a day without getting on my board

Cruisers are short boards, just usually wider and relatively huge wheels, longboards are longboards; Found a pic of two to show. The different shapes exist specifically for better feel and control than popsicles, at the expense of some to serious limitation on skateability (tricks).

I used to live and breath skateboarding, but kinda dropped off when I got into other things.
I got another board like a year ago and ride here and there, but it's rare. I still have a surprising amount of tricks, but it ends up going to my head and I usually eat shit and go home.
I have some element deck right now, but basically I just ride - 8-8.25 deck thunder trucks whatever bearings and skinny 52's, usually a little onthe softer side. I forget the hardness ratings for wheels.

See, Im just mostly into straight up Skateboards, not really too privy on the terminology with longboards/cruisers tbh. Thanks for the lesson man, better to know then keep fucking up lmfao. I've never even really gotten on a longboard or cruiser, I've just fucked with skateboards since I was a kid.

OP said he preferred short boards to cruisers because of their control. I replied that cruisers are short boards, just usually wider (~9"), huge wheels (56-65mm). Some have very comfortable shapes yet are close enough to popsicles (regular modern skateboard shape) to be able to do some/all of the same tricks (left on the pic in my last post). Others, like the board on the right, just for fun.
