Distinguishing Between Skateboarding and Longboarding
Skateboarding is commonly carried out on smooth pavements and in skateparks, which often feature ramps, rails, and ledges. Skateboards are optimised for tricks and typically come with smaller, harder wheels.
Longboards, on the other hand, have larger decks, bigger, softer wheels, and offer a broader variety of shapes and designs in contrast to skateboards. This attributes to the versatility of longboarding, which can be pursued in urban settings, on hills, or even on the rougher pavements found in the countryside. Longboarding encompasses various disciplines such as dancing and downhill riding, while also serving as an enjoyable means of transport.
Cruiser Skateboards blend characteristics from both skateboards and longboards, making them an ideal option for cruising and for those still honing their technique and style.
The Benefits of Board Sports
Engaging in board sports offers great advantages for both mind and body. They provide an excellent opportunity to enhance balance and coordination while delivering a full-body workout. Plus, the fun of riding ensures it never feels like exercise!
Another perk of board sports is their ability to alleviate stress. They keep your mind engaged for extended periods, and the satisfaction of refining skills and mastering new tricks is sure to put a smile on your face.
Finally, board sports are relatively affordable to begin with. Entry-level boards are cost-effective, and once equipped with a board and protective gear, you're ready to start. However, beware—you may find yourself hooked on customising your board with the latest and trendiest parts!
