Question:

can you alternate longboard and skateboard wheels?

i have a normal skateboard but i was wondering if you can just put longboard wheels on it instead or do you have to get new trucks made espeicialy for longboards?

Answer:

or you could make a shlongboard. search it on google. they are way cool, mine rides almost the same as my other longboards
you'll either need to buy risers for your regular trucks or buy longboard trucks. If you just put longboard wheels on your skateboard, the wheels will be to big and you'll get something called wheelsbite, which is where your wheel makes contact with the deck and stops you. Also, I don't know how you'd get the desired longboard feel with regular skateboard trucks. they're much tighter, and the main reason for longboarding is to have loose trucks so you can turn better. You sould probably buy longboard trucks.
Longboard wheels work on regular decks. You might need risers to lessen the chance for wheel bite
