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 :(

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.

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????????????

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.

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.

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.
