04.29.13 | every time someone mentions longboarding i automatically think surfing. skateboarding is the worst (i.e. i can't do it) but stickers are cool |
demigod!
04.29.13 | longboarding is for peeps who are shit at skateboarding
thats why i like it |
ZilbelPing
04.29.13 | surfing's lots of fun. I used to skate way back when. Never tried longboarding. Whenever my friend wants me to ride with him, I just ride a bike |
demigod!
04.29.13 | yeah bikings the best |

I bet you can though. I'm terrible at regular skateboarding (I did it for a bit, landed like one kickflip in my life) but longboarding is essentially the exact same as snowboarding, depending on what sorts of things you like to do. I usually just go out late at night and cruise the streets, taking big, luxurious "carves" on wide streets. Winding through empty city streets at 2AM with some good tunes is sublime, one of my favourite things to do in the world. Sometimes I bomb hills as well, but that takes much more pumping up and I wear a helmet for that shit. Cruising is the best though, highly recommended. |

haha exactly
"this wave breaks 24/7 bro"
again, ya nailed it
in a way it's my favourite board sport, and I love snowboarding and surfing. |

04.29.13 | longboarding is essentially street surfing, so relaxing and really clears your head |
Aids
04.29.13 | it's this red picture of a streetboarder bombing a hill in crouched position and full protective gear, over a black background. It's not the sort of thing I usually use my board for, and also it's kind of a boring picture. I bought the board anyway though just cause it felt the nicest out of the dozen or so I tried out. |
Aids
04.29.13 | as much as I wanted to be s00per sweet and buy a long Sector 9 board with a sweet breaking wave for artwork... |
XingKing
04.29.13 | That is quite a homoerotic picture. Good thing you slapped some stickers on that thing. My longboard is a bunch of piranhas with a few stickers on there that I got from Daddies Board Shop. My skate deck is a Toy Machine with some creepy drawings of the team managers |

will keep that in mind. I'll probably take it up this summer since I'll be spending a lot of time at the beach given I live 45 minutes away from an island.
I want to try snowboarding one day but my region won't allow it. It's hot/warm year round with out coldest temperatures dropping to low 40's/high 30's. |

04.29.13 | Zibel - where do you live?
and just to paint the picture a little clearer for any non-longboarders: my go-to album for cruising is Brian Eno's "Another Green World." There's this 7 1/2 minute non-stop downhill route that I do in my hometown of Nanaimo, and I always time it so that Sombre Reptiles is playing as I finally arrive down at the beach at the end of the road. So relaxing and invigorating. I'd recommend it to anyone. You've got to be smart about it to not get injured like a dumbass, but if you apply a little bit of brain activity, it's really safe and doesn't require as much skill as you probably think. |

04.29.13 | @Aids: South Texas. Specifically the Rio Grande Valley. You can google it if you want. I live about 30/45 minutes away from South Padre Island and I usually spend a lot of time there in the summer because my friend has a trailer his family parks every summer for like 4 months or something. He invites me and my other friends and we usually hang out/surf/cruise the streets. So much fun |

Aids
04.29.13 | nice, I've never been to Texas but yeah if the roads are good and the terrain has lots of hills, it's good for longboarding! Down the coast is just the best in the world though, for sure. I can't wait to do this trip.
@slipnslide bro I bomb sumtimes |

04.29.13 | noice
I have had a few falls, one was pretty bad, but nothing terrible |
demigod!
04.29.13 | i only ever fell a couple times when i was just figuring out how longboarding works
once you get a grasp for it it's like riding a bike, only easier |

04.29.13 | i've never snowboarded or skiied either. surf or die |

Aids
04.29.13 | wakeboarding? I've never done it but lots of people seem to like that.
surfing is amazing, I agree, but you haven't lived if you've never shredded some POW bru. Also, you live in California, and I live in BC, so this divide is understandable. |
demigod!
04.29.13 | wakeboarding is really fun, i did that when i was in the carolinas. I should've surfed while i was there but Shark Week was on and i was spooked |
klap
04.29.13 | lot of people snowboard/ski here bc of all the resorts inland, but i've never been, especially growing up in florida. wakeboarding is a blast |
Aids
04.29.13 | also, skimboarding is a really fun half-active way to spend a day on the beach, providing it has a long enough tide |
Aids
04.29.13 | two of the best days of my life were snowboarding days. I can't even, ugh, so good. |
klap
04.29.13 | i usually bust my ass skimboarding : ( |

04.29.13 | yeah, it's mostly chill but every once in a while you get your ass kicked or some wood in the shins (which killllls) |

04.29.13 | What kind of board you got?
I've got an Earthwing Supermodel. I've got a gravity, daddy's board shop, muirskate, and orangatang sticker. Lol
It's cool that there is a fellow longboarder on this site. |

04.29.13 | PS. Longboarding is for folks who value speed/sliding over tricks. |
Aids
04.29.13 | I had to look it up, but it's called a superglider I guess. Apparently it's good for first time longboards and cruising around town, and I would agree for that. It can handle downhill, but it's definitely not built for that.
