How was your daily longboarding ride/s?

I learned a valuable lesson today. Don't skate with an ear infection. Ouch. I'm glad my momma always taught me to tuck and roll.

I fought a mailbox...at 25mph... and the mailbox ****ed my #### up

Today, I went for my first proper run with my longboard. I have roadrash from my knee to my ankle, and I'm missing two fingernails. Waiting for my boyfriend to bring my board back so I can go again. Never been happier about anything!

DAMN! I wish my supercharger had that kinda asphalt to carve up. Prob is like cutting butter with a hot knife.

Yeah, it's righteous. It's bad though when you get used to it and then transition to roads.

Terrifying. Turns out, the local skaters set up a quarter-pipe at the bottom of my favorite bombing run, and were hittin it at 15 mph. I started a the very top of the hill, and was pushing 35+ and didn't see the ramp until too late. I sort of turned out of the way, and hit the edge of the ramp and gained much more air than I would have liked. Landed it though.

Epic! It's finally warm enough and the roads are mostly clear of cinders and other winter-crap and there was no traffic yesterday because of Easter, so the boyfriend guy and I took our usual run twice, then we finally got a new skate tool and he helped me fix the trucks on my Dervish and I tgot to take it out for the first time since October. Then that night some of his roommate's friends and I took a few runs starting a little ways up this massive hill they all live by and turning off down the samller hill the boyfriend guy and roommate live on. I haven't gone out at night since I got glasses in a while and it was way, way less scarier than I always thought it was and the Dervish was perfect and aaah God yes it was almost better than oral sex.

I can't wait until it's summer and it'll be warm enough to stay out all night!

It was so much fun, I learned that slide where you lean way to the side and put down both hands yesterday, and I actually has able to learn it switch today! It's a very easy slide, but a lot of fun and the first switch slide I've ever learned. Since it's now Easter Break, I went to the elementary school by my house, where there is a nice long stretch of slight downhill, plus some fun curbs for early grabs and stuff.

**igotscars** · 04-13-2009 04:07 PM

it rained

**Jorelle** · 04-14-2009 12:39 AM

My friend lent me his longboard (since the longboard I ordered hasn't come in yet) and I went for my first ride today

Couple of small hills, working on balance and all that and got to cruise down a really nicely paved pathway for a while. God I love longboarding.

**Rarrazz** · 04-14-2009 01:07 AM

Last night it snowed like 4-5" and I was pretty mad.. Majority of the snow was finally gone, and then it goes and snows again.. Well by the time I was out of school it melted again, so some friends and I skated, like 2-9pm, good stuff.

**Icapture** · 04-14-2009 05:44 PM

just got back from a ride now - just practiced my cross stepping down some hills here in CA - got to get my steez going ya know.

I gotta get a camera for my helmet though

**El Capitan** · 04-14-2009 06:21 PM

Went out today, and worked on doing corners in my tuck, and doing cornering with the rail ( dont know what else to call it). Then i went and just did a tiny hill to work on my tuck, but the head wind was so strong that i just looked like a kid going 2 mph down a road bent over. Overall good day, and I can't wait to get out again.

**sk8terdp** · 04-14-2009 07:55 PM

I was just riding in my neighberhood for about 4 hours been practicing on cross stopping and nose manuals. Rode a total of about 10 good miles on my new dervish.
