Here is a list of our FAQs and answers to help resolve any of your doubts or questions involving Goat board maintenance, accessories, warranty and shipping…
BOARD QUESTIONS
If what you want is to get started with longboarding without getting into fast and steep slopes, we recommend the Zero1 board which is thought out for carving and cruising.
f you would also like to learn to do some tricks we recommend the Elude drop board which has two small tails which will help you perform those tricks.
Depending on your skating modality, we recommend:

For Freestyle
The boards Elude drop, Elude Top and Soul are the options we recommend, it depends on whether your like a drop or in top board. The Soul board is the most rigid of them all, its flex is way more rigid than the Elude and it has more pop.
For Dancing
Our most suitable board for dancing is the Uzume. If you want something smaller in size which will also allow you to freestyle, then we recommend the Soul. If what you want is a multi-purpose longboard to test out a little bit of all modalities: freestyle, dancing and carving, then we recommend the Elude Top.

Under the Downhill and Freeride heading we recommend the Basati, Thor Hammer and Thor Hammer Green.
The Basati s a board with very aggressive curves which lend to great precision, the board will quickly respond to even the slightest of your feet’s movements.
The Thor Hammer is an easier board to tame, softer forms which adjust to any foot size and has an ample surface to settle in.
The Thor Hammer Green is a narrow version with a shorter Wheelbase position of our Thor Hammer. We recommend it for riders who are shorter in height.

Freestyle, Dancing, Freeride
For freestlye, dancing and freeride, we recommend the Walzen Insul 64mm wheels, they are easier to move while sliding and they have a good grip.
Bearing maintenance and care is fundamental for the best board behaviour. Make sure they are clean, dry and well lubricated. We recommend periodically demounting the wheels for cleaning. Using isopropyl alcohol will help you get rid of humidity and any other remains. One or two drops of lubricating oil is enough to keep them on point.
