Dawwwww looks like I have hurt some people's precious feelings about long boarding =(
Seriously, if you take the time to read any of my posts in here, I'm not hating on the kid's love of longboarding, or long boarding at all. There are things you can do on a long board that you can't on a skate board and vice versa. Such as riding down a hillside going 50+ and sliding around a hairpin like a steez machine, you just can't do that on a skateboard. However, on a "REAL" skateboard you can big flip a 15 and you can't on a longboard.
The two shouldn't overlap. It's impressive that this kid can tre flip on a long board, but it looks stupid, It'll never be as impressive IN MY EYES (my opinion see? not saying in everyones eyes just mine) as a real trick on a real skateboard.
It also pisses me off when I meet some fucking 17 year old retard with an ego the size of a astro van and he is like oh yeah I skate brah I skate real hard brah. It's like really where do you skate? Oh i skate down my parents street with my bros, yeah I ride a long board dude. Fucking loaded for life brah it's so much doper than a real skateboard.
You don't skate, you fucking stand on a clunky ass piece off wood and let it do the work for you.
Sorry I hurt so many feelings, why don't you all go "bomb" your street wearing some flip flops and a tank top. Maybe it'll get your minds off the fact you can't ride around on a regular skateboard and do real tricks that actually take years of practice and determination.
