Longboarding's disciplines vary significantly in terms of physical requirements, risk, and social demographic. These include downhill, freeride, freestyle, dance and long-distance-push. The term "longboarding" encapsulates multiple disciplines of riding. The skateboards use "traditional kingpin trucks" while longboards often use "reverse kingpin trucks." This hardware change is the key element in the increased stability that longboards offer. Many longboards use trucks that have different geometric parameters than skateboards. A standard skateboard is typically between 28-34 inches long, whereas a longboard may exceed 50 inches. Compared to skateboards, longboards are more stable at speed and have more traction, due to larger wheel size and lower wheel durometers. Longboarding is typically defined as a variation of skateboarding that involves a larger board and softer urethane wheels.
