I got a longboard this week and have been using it as a cruising board from my place to work. I have been getting the hang of it but still a little shaky and thought I might as well have some fun and go around... I live in Ontario and there are very little hills to go crazy but im progressing so they are perfect size... anyways here they are - embedding +++ karma

cheers

Good editing and all that, but you really should learn how to slide to make it a little mor interesting.  Here's a video of some of my friends and the rest of coast skating this weekend that you might find interesting, not meaning to thread jack.

PS my embed and hyperlink thing aren't working so if someone could embed it that'd be sweet

ya man, its my first week on it and really have never boarded before so im just getting into it!! sliding would be dope to do... I'm learning some other tricks and my wheels are new so there hard to slide (i got to work them in) and that video is sick... switchback is dope and I'll be in BC in september for school so that will give me some sick hills to carve

I've been just watching some youtube videos... and last night it had rained so I went out!

If you have sliding gloves then the "push up slide" is pretty easy!! you reach your hands out almost like a push up and take your heals off the board whilst doing a turn!! I could do it but then getting back on the board was tuff... I'm just going to keep practising

it's so depressing seeing a slide come to a stop they look so epic when they're happening. I wish you could slide corners without losing speed. I liked how they kinda cut the ends of the slide shots so you kinda got that unattural feeling like they could keep sliding but the shot just ended. Dunno if that made any sense but thats a great edit.
