This all depends on the riding you plan on doing. If you skateboard you can pick vert or street; longboarding has downhill and sliding. It all depends on what your limits are, if you use proper safety gear, and where you practice it. My opinion would be that downhill longboarding is the most dangerous of all.
i suggest 7-9 can longboard with parent guidance.then 10+ can longboard without parent guidance
Buy a longboard!
I would say longboard because its bigger and more room. The penny is alot smaller so it could be harder staying on.
Two seasons have some but depending on what type of board you want check out Skate hut on-line they have a good selection!
A cruiser is a type of longboard, also referred to as a short-board. Longboards can be meant to do anything from sliding, free-riding, cruising around, and more. Cruisers are usually shorter and wider, and have very big, grippy, low durometer wheels meant for all kinds of terrain.
i belive snowboarding is safer because your feet are stuck to the board but some people belive skate boarding is easyer and cost lessbut i prefer snoboarding .
Yes, just swap your bearings from skate wheels to longboard wheels, its all the same.
the force of gravity, natural force(weight), the applied force(your pushing off of the ground with your foot), and the frictional force.
Yes,because long boards has long boards and trucks easy for handling skate board has a little deck and small trucks so you need more balance than long boards but you can make tricks on skate board,long board no.
A tiny one.
It depends on if you're strictly using your board to get around, or if you prefer to do tricks and the like. Although there are certain tricks that can be performed on a longboard, longboards are typically used for transportation and "Cruising".Cruiser Boards are usually Shortboards or "Shlongboards" that can be used for both cruising and street-tricks.Longboards are, well, longer, which allow the board to travel for a longer amount of time. If cruising is your main objective, then I would highly suggest a longboard.Go skate, and see what you like best.
Go swimming, Go skateboard or longboard, Rollerblade or roller skate
