  Longboard (skateboard) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Longboards are generally fitted with larger wheels, usually 60mm plus, the advantages of the larger wheel is an increased top speed compared to a smaller wheel, however a smaller wheel has less inertia to overcome and so accelerates quicker than a large wheel.
As the longboard is turned, the deck may touch the wheels if the trucks are not far enough from the deck (using risers or another method).
There are several different types of longboard trucks, differing from a shortboard trucks in several ways, the main one being that the hangers are often wider to accommodate the different sized decks.
