a little session, making a june edit right now with carving/bombing and a little dance/sliding
 
gah i want one so badly, but there are no hills near my house and the streets are somewhat bumpy. grr
 
I love longboarding, but am currently stuck with only a banana board [i once had a real board :( ]. Any thoughts on where to pick up a relatively cheap longboard? Thanks

- Andrew

P.S. i figured I would get another Sector 9 (once upon a time, that what i had)

 
I want a longboard so bad. One of my friends let me use his one night and it was SICK.

Unfortunately all the hills here are REALLY fucking steep and I'd die :(
 
I'm pumped for longboarding season. Just got my new muir skate mini with slide a wheels on it!!! super pumped the setup is super sick.
now to work on those damn elusive toeside speed checks!!!
 
No shit I saw a dude longboard the vert ramp at cheap skates in eastern PA. Had to be at least 15 years ago too, before it was all big and shit. Dude would just cruise up and down the pipe sliding 180s and shit it was pretty awesome. That was back when the lopez brothers used to ride there too.
 
I was looking so forward to longboarding this summer but 2 months ago, longboarding, i tore my acl and broke my leg, on the same leg. I'll be out for a while. Until next summer!
 
Hey, you live pretty close to me, just noticed that.

If you get a longboard, get a krackedskulls as I mentioned above. If you get one, we should roll sometime.
 
I was ripping down some hill, 45 km/h, 2 cars going opposite ways had slowed down to share the road (it was a tight squeeze) i was going way to fast to stop, so i popped up onto the sidewalk and to my dismay, there was a huge crack as soon as i got on the sidewalk. instinctively i jumped onto my feet trying to run and the first step i took tore my acl broke my leg and just slid along my right side and i've got some large battle wounds from it. walking now, and can't wait to hop back on a longboard
loaded ftw
 
yea man the feeling of ripping down the hill at like just before speed wobble speed and seeing a car coming up and one coming down is the worst. Its soooo easy to stop a car at 45 mph and soooooooo hard to stop a longboard why dont they just stopp????????????
 
yea i love longboarding, only ridden buy friends a couple times but i'm buying one later today and i'm super excited
 
really frustrating. never the less, im still injured and will just have to not go on busy streets in the future

I just ordered some parts to make a board, Should be riding next week. Words cannot describe how stoked I am.
 
Oh hey whaddayaknow we are close. Where do you ski?

And apparently krackedskulls are awesome. I might have to pick one up. Where are some goo hills?
 
These vids always get me stoked! I think im going to buy a krackskulled schim but im not sure when. Im going to china on the 16th of july so i think it would be a waste to buy it now. So probably after. STOKED
 
god that place was a shithole. i dont even think theyre around anymore. i know that guy youre talking about though. so funny.
 
That place closed years ago, like maybe a decade even. Someone bought it after cheap skates and it ran for a little while but they eventually went under, same way with Shimerville. Which to me doesn't make sense really, how can two big indoor skateparks like that just go under. They both used to host big events with big name pros, and can be seen in lots of old school videos. I think mass amounts of small YMCA parks kinda cut into their profit or something.
 
shimervylle was terrible haha. the one with the metal ramps in emmaus? death ramps. sheets of metal popping up.

i just got a new NS though.

who here is a carver and whos a bomber? im a bomber. carvers are lame ass hippies lol.
 
It wasn't that bad, jesus grow a set. Coffin rides are where it's at by the way. At this time though I own no skateboard of any kind. I'd kill to have my old santa cruise board back from when I was a kid, it was like a foot wider version of a skateboard from today.
 
if you bike its not that bad. they had the largest hp around. it was sick but if you fall youre gettin sliced. dave mirra was theyre poster boy but he only showed up once haha. holes on decks of ramps and shit. it was pretty bad man...

 
I think trends are trends for a reason.

That's kind of like saying skiing is a trend and we're all trendwhores for skiing. If skiing is a trend, I think it's reasonable to say it's a trend because it's fun. That's why we're all on this website.

Same goes for longboarding. It's incredibly relaxing and way fun.

But shit, I guess we're all trendwhores.

I may/may not have just gotten trolled.
 
either way this thread still leaves an unpleasant scent in my nostrils. and for future reference by trend whores i refer to the people who think they're badass with their arbor pintail with gulwings.
