u/Grips-Aus-Gips

I want to get a new cruiser. But im not entirely sure which one to get, maybe you have some experience and can help me make my decission. I have a skateboarding background and bought myself last year a cruiserboard. Its a Budget one just to try it out but its not fitting my needs. I want a Board with a good maneuverability. I want to do narrow turns and carving down mellow hills. I also Need a kicktail because I want to learn my old Tricks again, for example getting up and down a sidewalk with a Olli, or shove it ,but I have to overcome my fear to do so first🤪. And I want wheels that are able to do powerslides for Speed Check. I researched for myself and the tugboat flippy or atmosphere seem to fit all that what I want from a Board. To myself Iam 5,10“ (1.78m) in height and my Shoe size is 10.5 ( EU). I also Added pictures so you can see the streets Iam cruising and pictures of my the Board I use now. Again if you think the Board is right or when you have better suggestions i Look forward to it. Thanks a lot

Hi, I have been on a Skateboard singe I was 13 YO. Though I was never a good Skater. ( the only Tricks I could do were a 180, a pop shove it and a very sloppy bad olli. The 180s are pretty easy to me. never get the ollis right. My buddys told me I was rotating my hips but I couldnt Control it. It never bothered me. Because I loved to ride my Board, Surfing over the concrete and doing my little trick reportoire just made me feel good. I was always trying new stuff, bailed hard, it didnt matter I had the fun of my life. When I was 19 I stoped skating. Startet to work and dont had the energy to go on. In the Corona years I had time and energy and my love began to Rise again for my hobby. But something changed. …. I felt fear. Just riding my Board wasnt the Problem but a lousy transition from my street up the sidewalk made me anxious. In my inner eye I saw myself bailing hard and crushing my teeth on the curb… ridiculous right?! Yeah doing a shove it while riding… forget it. Iam totally blocked. I felt sad but I think I found a good solution I bought myself a cruiser last summer. Man I can tell I love that thing. Never had a smoother ride. It also has a tail so the Performance of Basic Tricks is possible. Possible if I can overcome my fear… would be awesome. I also think I want to try surfskating because it looks even smoother and for my understanding it is like Surfing on the concrete. Anyway, sorry for the Long Text and thanks for reading. I Hope if someone could drop a Feed Suggestion how to overcome the fear or if a surfskate is a nice Addition to my cruiser you are welcome. Thank you
