Beginner's Guide To Wheelbase (Cruisers, Surfskates & Longboards)

actually street decks start at 13.5"wb for minis and 13.75" wb early 90s street decks.

Our of topic question...I wanna buy my first surfskate.

Between Miller end D street what you suggest?
Thx

Wrong !!!!!

The owner of my local skateboard shop told me shorter wheelbases means you'll be pushing and pushing and pushing vs longer wheelbases where you need to push less frequently to enjoy cruising. Any truth to shorter wheelbases taking more pushing to make the skateboard roll? Didn't seem to make sense and I can't find any info on this point. Thanks in advance.

Weird. My dancing board feels harder to control than my skateboard- is that part of the whole stability thing?

Very good explanation.. honest. no bs! Thank you!

My man, please review the yamba 900 cruiser from decathlon

Do you sell any of your used boards?

Nice vid! Good Info🤙🏻

Can't here the slash grind because the background noise was too loud. Just because you like the noise does not mean everyone watching will like it. Just saying.

Hey Mates!
I need your help on finding the right deck as I am total newbie and this material just proved it. I am looking for replacement for my snowboard for summer 🙃
Riding style:
Fakie
Ollie
All kind of terrain but mostly city flat grounds, lot of ppl
Distances - 5-10km
I’d like to downhill few times (nothing extreme😅)
Deck that will be stable, able to carve and manoeuvrable?
Not a longboard, something more portable
I am 5’10, 170lb, 9US

I thought about Landyachtz Tugboat.
Is it a right choice for me?
Thanks!

Wow, this is so rad and informative!

love the vids man!

Yesssss Shred Shack is baaaaaack

You should do a video on speed wobble and how it affects different setups.

Can you try the nkx surfskate?

I think an opportunity was missed here maybe linking the riding styles best suited for what wheel base. It ended with no conclusion really. I felt like I was left with well . . Here’s a video showing you a lot of wheel bases. . .go figure it out for yourself. . . Buh bye.

Shred Shack is baaaaack!

This is how I've found that the wheelbase works for defining surfskate surfstyle emulation.
15"-21" WB for high performance short board experience
21"-26"WB midlength/funboard experience
27" plus WB longboard/log experience

Super excited to see you back and running again! I've been a fan for probably just over a year or so and you have helped me learn so much about longboarding. Thanks for all you do.
P.S. I'm also really happy you took the break as everyone needs to step back sometimes. :))

👏🏼👏🏼
I love caliber trucks but they do reduce wheelbase a bit more than most other popular trucks.

On shortboards/minis you can somewhat mitigate a shorter wheelbase by usin lower degree angle baseplates

Welcome back! Good stuff 🤙

The legend returns

Serious question... Do you have something in your mouth?

Nice vid, Still waiting for your Loaded Tan Tien review tho 😅

So glad yall are back!!!

It has been soo long since a new video has been posted. This did not disappoint. Worth the wait imo :)

Thanks so much for having such plain and direct explanations…makes everything simple! Keep shredding!

Really well done explanation of the many board setups!

Dope! 😎 I can really tell the difference going from my Dindhy to my Tugboat.

I would've liked you to go into detail about why you would use a longer or shorter wheel base on a particular setup, and how you could change it. You covered the broad reason (shorter=less stable) But you're right, there are so many variables and different reasons for all of it. It would be difficult to cover it all. Definitely glad you're back!

Super helpful video, it’s amazing how much better the production has gotten too! I’m super stoked you’re back!

Love the pointers you made here man but that part where you were saying bicyclists should all be skinned from the waist down was a little extra

So stoked to see you guys back on! The quality of your vids is always top notch.

Hey, its been awhile!
Greetings from Kyiv,

new shred shack 🤩🤩

I’ve missed you posting. Glad to see you back from the break and I see some new boards back their 👀 definitely wanna know your opinion on the updated surf skate from landyachtz. I’ve got the flippy but due to the weather haven’t been able to really shred it. Feels super comfy tho

Love your stuff dude, i'd love if you could look at some eskate conversions since you're kind of dipping your toe into the water of electronic boards. Thanks!

Yoww have a nice weekend everybody!
