Longboard More

I love longboarding.  Much like an epic pow day, or a sick swell, words can't describe the feeling or riding a great longboard.  Longboard popularity is building, however, many still don't realize just how great it really is. 

Just take a look at this video and whether you've ridden for years, or have never touched a board, I hope you can really capture the magic and understand the fun, excitement, and relaxation longboarding brings to anyone who steps on a board. 

Enjoy the ride.

thats the great thing about longboarding, it really doesn't matter what you ride, as long as you're riding.  right now i have the original (not bamboo) loaded pintail for everyday, and a eastbilt 60" for being a PIMP.  the loaded is seriously the best ride i have ever felt out of the 15ish boards i've used.  the flex and feel of the board is just unbelievable, and the responsiveness of the board is unbeatable.

the 5 footer i just got is insane and also has an awesome flex, not just like a big piece of wood.  i stained it with some darker color and it looks amazing IMO.  it's a straight up tank and just begs for attention.

and here comes the inverse relationshipwhich i am begginning to realize- quiver increases, money decreases

looks like a fun time.  and i know from experience, it's really hard to capture just how fast you're going on video, so i can appreciate what you guys were doing.  it looks like you got some nice spots around too.

hopefully i'll post pics of my boards in here, and maybe me riding too or something.

i agree, i'm not too much into sliding. that chris dahl stuff was pretty cool, but i just thing the dancing is so much more slick and i love it. i can't wait to get a better board.

LOL that shit is fun to do but u seriously think thats cooler? no way, I like it but I totally understand when some people say it looks gay

now if someone started doing slides like that people would just drop their jaws. WTF does "trying too hard" mean anyways? thats the stupidest shit I've ever heard.

are u guys one of those "dude I'm chill and you know it" types who love jam bands or something?

sliding is ok, but i still don't think it should be categorized as longboarding.  sure it's fun to have a slide or two in your arsenal, but it just doesn't seem fun to go out to a spot, and just repeatedly slide down.  sure it's fun if you're doing it, and it is very difficult, but to me it just doesn't retain the real feel of longboarding and what longboards are really meant to do.

props to the guys who do it, and no hate because everyone has their own opinion, i just happen to like the real soulful longboarding.
