While I’m pretty handy on a snowboard and did a lot of inline skating in my youth (half pipe etc) I have to admit I’ve never ridden a longboard. I bearly ridden a normal skateboard so this long board thing is all pretty new.
So I did what everyone does with high speed internet watched a few youtube clips and this morning took out my cheaparse longboard for a short run.
Turns out it picks up speed at a frightening rate. This should be a good laugh for those how have been long boarding for a while.
