How was your daily longboarding ride/s?

[mjswider]

I only rode my board to and from the bus stop today, but that couple of minutes of carving and flowing was so swwwweeeeeeeet. 8)

Makes me not mind having ridden my bike due to this cold/flu.

downhillbomberman, bombing Park blvd is not
a good idea... The cops are gonna flip out when they
see you rolling down Park.... Not to mention that's
a dangerous place to ride, good way to get hit by a car.

i was aware of the circumstances... but it was worth it... oh yeah it was way worth it

I talked to a cop after the ride and he said as long as i didn't hold up traffic then i wasn't breaking any laws -___-

however, if i did it on a sidewalk then i could have gotten a potential ticket... the city cops have much bigger fish to fry in san diego than a dare devil on a longboard

Daily is a neighborhood cruise while giving the dog his run for the day, then back to the house where I continue the session with some short boarding. Garage and Speedboarding on the weekends, usually with a side order of skatepark or street (I am trying to improve before I get tooo old, he he).

dog on a harness and leash pulling you? haha i have a lab puppy who lives for skateboard rides, he takes me faster down the walking trail then i get going on most hills... its awesome

i usually do like a 2 mile ride every day. just like a chill cruising session. i always wear my helmet but yesterday i couldnt cuz i left it at my buddies house. so i was cruzing and it started to rain so i hid under sum tiki hut until it cleared up. so now im on my way home and about a block away from my house, and i ride over an extremly and wet slab of side walk mid turn, and my board slid and i fell back and hit my head on the concrete. damn it hurt and now i have a golfball on my head. but theres no serious injuries, at least i think not. i feel fine. i was a little dizzy at first but now i feel fine.

this was the result of my recent ride

[DSquared09]

yikes, get well soon, Guitarchick!

I just came back in from a little night riding. I put the Lemon Zigs on my Dervish to try them out a bit since they weren't really broken in while on my Hypercarve.


Super stoked on them and I just got down stalefish slides so I'm happy.

I stepped on a longboard for the first time in my life 2 nights ago. I ended up riding around with some friends and friends of friends for like, 5 hours, getting home at 3 AM. By the end of the night I had blood on my left leg and some new friends. Yesterday morning, I went online and bought a longboard, with the help of another friend. I can't wait for it to come.

I went back out last night and cruised around with a borrowed board. I go to school at UCLA, and I can't imagine a friendlier place to skate. The campus gets deserted after about 10:30, and there are some awesome spots. It's a hilly area, so there are plenty of nice lines. And, given that we are in LA, the school is totally covered in 7 story parking garages with no cameras and the friendliest security guards on the planet. It's a student job, so it's generally some 20 year old kid who would rather turn a blind eye.

I can't wait till the next time I can go skate.

I gotta say, I have learned more about longboarding and picked up more stoke from this thread then possibly anywhere else. Been longboarding for a while, but never taken it seriously until recently. Awesome work guys (and girls!)!

Oh yeah, my ride. Well, I took a new 46" Pintail out for a quick spin (my friend was following me on my mini, hah). It wasn't bad, but the weather we've been having makes it hard to squeeze in a skate at all. Roll on summer.

[feenixx]

okay its not much of a ride, BUT

i got a rayne pug a little while back and didn't have hardware or wheels to give it a spin. Just got back to MSU, so i threw on some Randal 180s and BigZigs and rode it down my carpeted hallway (snow outside ) so like i said not much of a ride, BUT i got to ride my pug for the first time and it was SEXAYY

[LeSueur264]

Chilly weather today, but I HAD to ride my brand spankin' new Landyachtz Drop Wedge! Hit a few small hills and railed some tight greenway corners and just had a blast. I never expected myself to enjoy a board this much, super glad I bought it.

[tphand]

ate ####, alot of ####

[wardlarson]

that isn't that much ####

[tphand]

you shoulda seen the fall, i was stylin too hard on my board and goin ~25 hittin the hill outside my dorm, hit a gravel patch and just ate it on the sidewalk.

negative:
girl saw

positive:
she wasn't attractive

[dozer jr]

i was riding with my friends and one of them was being an idiot and he decided 2 bomb a hill on his S9
he got major speed wobble and landed in a gravel patch
we spent the next 2 hours on my driveway patching him up

[AFTT]

I got a hairline fracture in my collar bone on sunday. It's all good though, according to the doctor.

****ing rain. I was doing colemans and 180 slides perfect, but, I ate #### almosy instantly when I tried a speed check. The board just flung out from underneath me.

Commuted to the mall, met up with my girlfriend and friends, skated more afterwards, my friend broke his wrist, he and my other friend Mike were on the same board skating, my friend jumped off while my friend was sorta leaning on him and he lost balance and fell really hard. He broke his wrist, it is pointed upwards while his hand is flat and normal and the bottom is really bruised up. Some jogger lady took him to his house while I stayed with my other friend and I was afraid to ride my humu for fear of that happening to me.

What kind of weather are people riding/commuting in right now? Today it was down in the teens in the morning and the high was only 30 degrees or so. No ride for me, that's just too damn cold.

[tphand]

like 30's-40's here but the wind makes it so cold

[Hot Wheels]

My winter longboard rides are usually a couple quick runs just
to stoke the fires, then back in.

[threefingerflick]

here in miami its in the 70's or 80's perfect for riding. but i can't.
