Seems fun. Should probably put more content in OP tho.

I think they look stupid as hell. But I've always wanted a skateboard for transportation means. Maybe this is my calling.
-
Me and 2 of my friends longboard, it's alot of fun and a great way to get in shape.
-
I added some more content for now.
-
Man, I have a longboard and use it often. It's so good for getting around places. I like to ride it as loose as it can go.
-
This video is hilarious
-
Get a small longboard. It's like a skateboard on steroids.
-
One of those pink boards has caster wheels. Does that even work?
-
Another pink board has like 10 wheels haha.

Saw this thread and had to join in. I've been longboarding for about 2~3ish years now and I've recently got about 10 of my friends into it. I love speedboarding but am working on building a new speedboard, My s9 Bombhills just isnt good enought. Heres a vid of me going down a pretty bigg hill in my town.
The Hill.
The Video.

Btw the brown stuff on the ass of the suit is burnt leather, Its what happens when you fall in a leather suit.

Haha, that car behind you must have been pissed not being able to pass! Looks awesome though, we don't have huge hills or any elevation really in Florida.Saw this thread and had to join in.

Nah, It was some old dude we flagged down and told him to ride behind us so no one would ride really close incase we fell. We were going about 35~40ish
-
That can't have been any more than 30mph... even so, it's still impressive that you did that on an S9.
-
I use it to get around easy, because of the pavement here skateboards sound like a fucking stampede and ride really rough.The wide wheels make it alot easier to ride.
-
I think the hardest concept in Longboarding is being able to do tricks on your board, being able to move out of dip and standing position and walk around your board while it's moving. I fell a few times today trying to do a cross walk and put my leg off to do a wood chop.

diggin the new york footage
-
thanks for this thread, you pretty much intro'd this to me, ill definitely get into this, any tips on the length of board and things like that?
-
You can't give tips on what to ride. You have to experiment and see what feels best for you.
-
It's really cool in California.
Not in Georgia. Not enough space where I live.
-
No problem my friend, I want to get as much people as I can to have this wonderful hobby. When I went to pick my board, I knew I wanted it as soon as I saw it. You just get a feeling on what kind of board you want.
-
Did it, hit a rock and got messed up; but still was alot of fun back then but i have moved on to bigger and better things. Still much fun and suggested to anyone who snowboards or surfs.
-
Why do people always quit after they get hurt? I've already chipped a kneecap and torn cartilage in a few places, but I'm still riding. I literally have scars all over my body.
-
A "Flowboard" as they're called. I had one. They suck.
I ride a 55" Luke Nosewalker from Sector 9. I know Sector 9 takes a lot of piss these days for some reason, but it's a great board.
Mostly I'm a hill bomber with lots of carving and occasionally slides. I can do a little bit of dancing but I suck at it.
-
I don't like Sector 9 for a couple reasons; primarily because once, and only once, while I was pulling a coleman my S9 board literally snapped right down the middle as I stood back up. No warning, no creaking, nothing, it just broke. Costed me a board and a chipped kneecap.A "Flowboard" as they're called. I had one. They suck.

Ehh i still rode a bit afterwards i got torn up, but i just lost interest and moved on to different hobbies
-
Wow, yikes.
I do want a shorter board for slides and the like. This one is so huge and has very little flex.
And the hardware that came on it was pretty crap.
-
Mind listing your parts?
-
A longboard with hardware?
-
Right now?
Deck 55.0" L x 11.0" W Luke Nosewalker S9
Trucks 10" Gullwing Charger w/ 1/4" Mini Risers
Wheels 61mm/78a Nineball Wheels
Bones Super Reds Bearings (didn't come with the board, I bought these because the ones on the board were just terrible)
-
Hardware: trucks, bearings, wheels, deck, etc.
I don't see anything wrong with your hardware; the only problem I'd have with that setup is your tiny wheels.
-
Longboarding is fun.
Unfortunately there's a lot of nooby kids who walk around with them all the time for image yet hardly ride them, honestly, fuck off. It's generally best to learn how to skateboard first, because they are a bit harder to control, and they'll teach you to control a long board a bit better.
-
I'd like to see someone up and snatch it out of their hands, optionally smack them with it, and then glide off down a hill.
-
The tiny wheels are obnoxious but I can't get any new ones at the moment. I drained the bank account buying dual monitors.
The bearings that came on it were just horrid, and the trucks are pretty annoying. They're really soft.
But for a starter board the hardware isn't terrible.
-
yeh hated when skateboarding was the greatest thing, all I wanted to do was just chill and cruise
-
I wish I knew how to skate
But I've got my bike so I don't give a shit
-
do you also get a fisheye lens with it when you buy one
-
But still :( it looks pretty cool
-
Been thinking of getting into this. I have a few friends who longboard, and I've tried it two-three times before. It's so much fun! :D
-
Holy shit. I never knew about this, it looks fucking awesome. I want to try this out, except I live in the middle of London so there's not exactly many places to do it, and people would think you look a bit stupid on this funky surfboard-on-wheels riding around in boring old London.
I tried normal skating once but I hated it since all the roads near me are old and bumpy so the skateboard would only go about six or seven feet before needing to be pushed again.
Also I snowboard regularly.
Any tips for a beginner, where are good places to skate?
-
I've never been able to skate for some reason. When I stand on a skateboard, it instantly slips away from under my feet :crying:
