That's about it though. Live and let live. I am with Cwalker pretty much, except one skate subculture I do not understand maybe more of a collecting one is those freaks who only collect one wheel. What do you do with them, use them as paperweights? Is there any reason for animosity between skateboarders and longboarders, or could that just be another made up accusation by left wing Democrats, socialists and Marxists promoting tribalism as a key part of their agenda to reshape Western Civilization though a strategy of Divide and Conquer?
Left wing Democrats, Socialists, and Marxists may divide, but will never conquer due to their lack of homogeneous principles. On the other hand Right wing Republicans, White Supremacists and Fascists also divide due to their principles based on division and bigotry! Moderation is the key! Antifa sentiment is fine, but actions become counterproductive.

There are currently 0 full road and 46 lane closures. Public Hearing Notice Tuesday, November 16, Evergreen Hall, Corbould St More ». Menu Search. If the length trips you up, just remember the key difference between the two is that longboards are flat and skateboards curve.
So, if you see a flat, shorter board, it's probably just a short longboard. Deck Flexibility. For any new skaters out there, the deck is the base of your board. If your goal is to learn new tricks, you want your board to be thinner, meaning it'll have flex. The flex of your board is the stiffness of it.
You don't want the flex to be too soft unless you're engaging in mellow cruising. For tricks, you want your flexibility to be either soft or medium, which gives you some stability and a spring-like feel to make jumps easier to nail. Many longboards are built to gain maximum speed as you race downhill. To keep you steady, longboards usually have thicker decks with low flex to support you during the ride. Trucks and Wheels. Obviously, both skateboards and longboards have wheels attached, but the base that's attaching them is called the truck.
It looks and operates differently for both boards. On a skateboard, the trucks are rigid and narrower, making it easier to grind and land tricks of your choice.
They're also the same size as the maximum width of the skateboard's deck. Longboards have a more flexible truck to give you a smoother ride, which is perfect for longboarders who want to cruise for long distances or race downhill. Longboards also hold wider trucks that usually measure around millimeters to millimeters.
Skateboarders might hate longboarders because of age differences. However, it does not mean that skateboarders hate kids. They only find it awkward and maybe embarrassing to have a 10 years old friend, while they are in their twenties already. Skateboarders and longboarders sometimes fight over the skate park.
Sometimes, skateboarders do not permit longboarders to use the premises because they think that longboarders have no right to use it since they are not real skaters. It is a sign of discrimination actually and should not be tolerated. However, it is rare to see an owner ban other people that do not use skateboards. Very rare! Some skateboarders are so privileged to claim that the skating parks are for them only.
Because they think that they are the only real skaters in the world. Why do they believe that? Because skateboarders believe that what they are doing is harder than any sports. I think the skateboard community should do something about this. This act of discrimination against longboarders must stop because it can be dreadful for the skateboard community.
The other reason why skateboarders hate longboarders is that they think that longboarders have ugly boards. Yes, it might sound absurd or childish, but this is real. A traditional skateboard only has a universal shape. But the appearance of longboards has seemingly endless variety, and some are uglier than the other variety. Having an ugly board is pretty embarrassing for us. That is why some skateboarders never wanted longboarders to enter their group.
Skateboarders think that if some newbie sees an ugly board inside the skating community, the newbie will never join the community. In short, skateboarders reject longboarders because their ugly boards will never attract newbies. That is why I suggest longboarders who read my article buy an amazing and enticing board. Never buy from companies that create ugly boards that only want to earn lots of money. Never buy from a department store too.
