| You can do anything on a longboard that can be done on a short board. It just takes time to adjust! |

I have a 46" Gravity Concave Cruiser that I cruise around town on, and I dont have any touble ollieing up curbs and stuff on it. It takes alot of effort, but it comes with practice. BTW -it has a normal 6" kicktail on it. With no tail to pop I dont think anybody's gonna be ollieing anything. You can ollie a flat-tailed 2x4 with trucks on it, (trust me, I made one. Ha!), but it's easier with a kicktail.
Seaking of long longboards and gravity, this 57" Ed Economy designed Gravity looks sick!

I have a lib tech 44" that I can ollie a good 2 feet into the air. I have ollied cans and other items that I use to hit on a short board. I have also landed double kickflips, and shov-its, shov-it flips, and 180s. It is not really that much harder than a short board (honestly, I was never able to land those tricks when I use to ride a shorter board). But I only do those kinds of tricks on occation to keep up with this new school crowd, long boards are much more fun for ramp riding, and pool riding.
