today i saw a longboarder fall while riding across the street.  His board rolled back into traffic and got driven over where it shattered in half.  It was amazing

Couldn't they have at least gotten someone who didn't push like a 10 year old?

[john2010hill]

they just need boards that can go directly down 90 degrees like down the side of a building....

[brianwilson]

That made me feel better about myself.

hey, if you're gonna dress like a queer, you gotta skate like one too ? 

edit: i'm actually really glad they used these guys to demonstrate rather than someone i respected.

You respect longboarders?

[Just Green Enough]

no. i'm just saying i'm glad they didn't use an actual skateboarder's skateboarder i.e. someone with a real push.

In some cases, I kinda do.  Don't get me wrong, most of them look lame as fuck, but credit where credit is due.  I've never gone as fast as some of these long boarders have.

damn, the last guy sure was hyped on his successful stairboarding

[Stoeipoes]

"oh my god. U totally have like some amazing bs carves and wheels that match ur laces and hat.''

[Vianouz]

Wtfff is that? Seriously...

[Jessem]

Im actually so glad they invented this. Cant wait to watch a bunch of idiots eating shit tryin to ride down stairs on campus.

[Beeda Weeda]

even when im driving alone, or with a girl or sombody who doesnt skate, i take the time to slow down and yell "long board is the wrong board"

the like to ride down the 6 degree incline street near my house then like barell roll into a lawn.

[TheDraught]

Everytime I see somebody with a longboard, they're walking and carrying around the goddam thing

[Sleazy]

good to see ty is branching out

[Chipp]

as soon as i saw that dude push and how serious he seems to take himself with those sunglasses i turned it off. from what i can make out from the title that thing hovers tho?

I don't think I've ever seen a longboarders that pushed with fluidity. Maybe that's what inspired the birth of the street paddle...

Hahaha! Glad I wasn't sipping when I saw that.

I'm cool and/or indifferent with longboarding (we don't really have a longboard cult scene where I am) but the last time I saw any it was pretty hilarious... me and a couple of other guys were hauling ass in Venice looking for the skate park and we passed one herd of dudes skating those longboards that are way lower in the center, higher at the ends (no nose or tail), then after that we passed up two or three more randoms on our way. I'm sure they'd leave us in the dust on a big hill, but these cats were struggling on flat.

Related to the video... those wheels look silly when they get bouncy down the stairs. Absolutely ridiculous.

Unrelated- anyone remember the shitty "longboard mega ramp?"

Longboard Mini Mega Ramp

I HAVE to give props to these dudes for responding with this:

i lold at that second video. Goddamn silly ninnies

You're a jock.  "Do a kickflip!"    I bet you have mob too. 

[Bitter]

That second video had me laughing too.

After a few years of trying to get my young nephew stoked on skateboarding (buying him boards, videos, Vans), my sister bought him a longboard this summer. So fucking disappointing.

would've been kind of excited to see this myself. i'm actually surprised that those things do break though, with all that flexy carbon whatever shit they have in there to help them get that impromptu trampoline double usage out of it.

[landCow]

i'm always very amused when some bright spark comes along with an idea they think will revolutionize skateboarding. but its even more amusing when no one buys into it and it fails.

walking down the stairs looks smoother than riding this.

At least some hard working engineers got paid i guess.....?

Minus the gay longboarding around with bro glasses and that video would have been a great cityscape video. They went some sick places.
