Longboard Brands We Carry:
Longboards are long skateboards perfect for cruising, racing, sliding and riding downhill.
The staff at our longboards shop can share their knowledge and expertise about long boards, but here are the basics:
- Longboards you'll find at our longboard shop are typically 36 inches in length or longer.
- A long board that is further away from the ground is best for carving or riding downhill in an "S" path to control speed such as in snowboarding and surfing, whereas long boards closer to the ground are more stable and better for downhill racing.
- A reputable longboard store will provide a variety of long board shapes and sizes for different practices and preferences.
- You can purchase a complete long board or customize longboards by choosing different trucks (a component that connects the wheels to the long board), wheels, and other parts and accessories at the longboarding shop.
 Buy longboards, parts and accessories at Rip City Skate:
- Longboard Boards
Here, you have the option of purchasing a board (otherwise known as a deck) by itself, so you can customize each long board part, or purchasing a complete board that's fully equipped and ready to go.
- Longboard Trucks
Longboard shops allow you to choose from different brands of trucks, which are T-shaped metal pieces that connect two long board wheels to the board. Two trucks are needed for the front and back of the long board.
- Longboard Wheels
Wheels sold at long board stores are typically larger than skateboard wheels, and come in various sizes and levels of hardness. Larger wheels are generally faster and less affected by the condition of the road.
- Longboard Accessories
A longboard shop will provide a variety of choices when it comes to longboard parts such as bearings (metal rings that connect a long board wheel to its axle), bushings (truck cushions that affect turning), hardware (bolts and locknuts to attach trucks), risers (to separate the truck and board) and grip tape (for the longboard surface).
- Longboard Protective Gear
All longboarders minimally use helmets and slide gloves with discs attached to the palm, so hands can be used to turn. Many long board stores such as Rip City Skate also sell wrist guards, elbow pads and knee pads.
- Longboard Apparel and Shoes
As a top longboard store, there are Rip City Skate shirts and tops as well as varied brands of sunglasses, caps and sneakers in style with riders and within the longboarding community.
- Rip City Skate Gift Certificates
The ideal gift for any season of the year, gift certificates for Rip City Skate's longboarding shop are offered in different denominations with in-store and online alternatives.
