Long boarding is considered as one unique type of sport by which is done by riding on the long boards. Some uses of this are for competitions like racing on down hills. The typical expert riders would often exceed the speed of 50 miles in an hour. Longboards vary upon its sizes and shapes unlike the typical skateboards. It also has more durability, stability, and traction because it has large sizes of wheels and wheels also are lower in durometers. Most of the longboards contain trucks that have geometric parameters just as the skateboards have.

These can be used in many different ways and one of which is for transportation or traveling. The designs of longboard skateboards have different shapes, it may be a wide cruiser, long, or hybrid, shorter type. The truck or axle is made loose in order to have a sharper turn.

Early grabs are done by grabbing one board side and by thrusting upward for airlifting in moderate speed. Decks are often made symmetrically and also made with kick tails on each side for allowing some tech slides. Free ride decks are often made similar with downhill boards.

Third is long boarding in down hills. This involves the riding with the fastest speed a person can do in down hills, bit it is important to be in control. There may be possibilities that the speed exceeds 80 miles in an hour.
