There are a great variety of longboards and skateboards to choose from, as well as different riding styles. Either you like to cruise around with your board or commute, every rider requires something to be protected. If your riding style is mostly cruising, then you’ll need to be protected in every way you can. While cruising at a great speed with your ride, if you face any unfortunate event, most likely this is going to be fatal.
If commuting or wonder around with your board is what you do than at least you are going to need a good helmet.
