What is faster skateboard or longboard?

Answer 1

It's not actually the size of the skateboard that matter's, its the ball bearings the wheels have inside them. Cheap bearings that come with cheap Walmart/warehouse boards almost always go slowly, were as proper bearings from your local skate shop will go a lot faster.

Answer 2

I believe that longboards travel faster than regular trick boards because I have found that the wheels on the longboard are looser (almost like someone put grease on them). And yes, I do have both types of boards. Also, i do live at the bottom of a big hill so i would probably know. Lastly, you should say ...faster trick board or longboard? because a longboard is a type of skate board.

Answer 3

A longboard is altogether faster because a longboard has larger wheels and bearings... so it can go more distance with less speed. For example, if you roll a penny and a quarter two rotations the quarter's going to go farther than the penny because a penny is smaller; so imagine skateboard wheels/bearings like pennys and longboard wheels/bearings like quarters. Longboards are also going to go faster because they are meant for downhill because they are more stable because of their length and wide trucks; wheras skateboards are normally meant for not serious downhill runs, more ramps and street obstacles.

Hope this helped!
