The downhill board (speed board) was first born on the wheels of surfboards and roller skates, similar to surfboards and snowboards with wheels. Compared with ordinary skateboards, it has a longer and wider board, larger, softer and wider wheels, longer battery life, better road adaptability, faster hands-on time and better handling. The length of the long board is usually between 84-150cm, and the width is between 22.8-25.4cm. The main materials include maple, bamboo, fiberglass, carbon fiber, metal, mixed materials, etc.
One is a statement similar to skateboarding, which originated from surfing. It is said that at the end of the 1960s, surfing in the United States was very developed, but the weather had great restrictions on surfing. Therefore, some players began to press the wheels of roller skates on the surfboard and slide on the road in the city. The reason why the most basic "fish-shaped" board in the longboard is very similar to a surfboard is that people call it a surfway board.
Another version comes from a board sport legend, Sims. It is said that Sims himself is a super expert in board sports, playing and proficient in everything from surfing, skiing to skateboarding. Slowly, he began to try to combine the three, and began to invent various board shapes. To this day, Sims is still inventing and creating different shapes of longboards.
