LONGBOARDS
Longboard's common uses are for downhill and transport; there's also the dancing discipline that's become fashionable. Most longboards are designed to have the rider closer to the ground. Their trucks' design, wide soft wheels and aerodynamic deck shape with low concave serve stability in high speeds. They're closer to a cruiser and some of their uses are the same. On the other hand, the "normal" skateboard tricks you can perform on a longboard are minimum. In few words, it's a category of it's own.

Its smaller size makes it easy to carry when you need to step down. It always depends on what you like and plan to use your setup for.
