There’s nothing better than cruising the streets, college campuses or the beach sidewalks on a bad ass longboard. There are a ton of great brands for finding the best longboards to cruise the streets on. When shopping for your first board there are different styles, sizes, lengths and even weights. If you already own a board and ride yours daily, then you know that finding the best longboard to cruise streets can be difficult and expensive but if you look through the Raise website you’ll be able to find some good deals. Longboards are well worth the money and extremely fun to ride if you haven’t tried it before. It’s never too late try and you’re never too old.

If you’re thinking of buying a longboard or just looking to try something new, here are some key points to help you with your buying decision.
Things to think about before jumping in and buying a new longboard.
- How far will you be cruising daily?
- Will you have to carry your longboard everywhere you go?
- Are you using your board to make short trips?
- What is the terrain or asphalt like in your area?
- Will you be riding with or without a backpack on?
- Do you want a soft smooth ride or something with more control?
- What is your budget? ($200 will get you started)
- Does it have to be name brand? (Longboard Junkies prefer brand, others do not)
Those are just few questions to ask yourself before making any purchases. After you have gone through this simple list of questions and are ready to buy, here are some killer boards that might be what you’re looking for.
