Today I was cruising around campus, the coolest thing on four wheels. I've been trying to learn to pump effectively lately (seems like maybe I need to push up to a higher speed first) and just as I'm wiggling through the brick paved main square, BAM, I hit a patch of loose bricks and go flying off a toeside carve.

People were watching. I heard a "OOH!" from the peanut gallery. I'm not scraped up or anything, I just got up and let everyone know, "It happens, folks!" I jumped back on and pushed away with my tail between my legs. Otherwise, it's a pretty nice day out and was a good day to board.

Anyone else have an embarrassing public fall story?

havnt ridden today yet, but yesterday learned to 360 luv it, standy blunt slide, and slap shuvit, it was awesome, one of my favorite sessions ive had, like, ever

**d-loop** · 05-22-2009 03:53 PM

Had a lot of fun, practiced my newly learnt standy slides, plus landed my fist ever shuvits on my Dervish. I'm gonna update my sig with that...

Rode for 4 hours yesterday. It was 85. I got dehydrated and camped out in a CVS bathroom under the faucet for about half an hour.
I drank 6 full bottles of water during the ride, too.
Today I rode through part of Metro Beach (Detroit) with my girlfriend tagging along on her rollerblades. I forgot how fast those things are.

**Jorelle** · 05-22-2009 10:33 PM

Went around some paths near downtown today for hours. So much fun just cruising though so much bird poop

**El Capitan** · 05-24-2009 06:10 PM

I went up to Briteside today and did 6 or so runs. Lots of fun, bit wobbly on my part but whatever i never fell. I was told i got up to around 55-60 km/h but that could be inaccurate. It was a super hot day, and i couldnt of asked for a better ride.

**Hot Wheels** · 05-24-2009 07:43 PM

I got another skater into longboarding yesterday, after
riding mine, he wrote its discription down and said
he was super stoked and going to get one!

Woo, first post here.
Finally got The Pusher on the trail for the first time.
Did 16 km with a friend on blades.
I'm liking the cruising, very relaxed, and the board rolls good!!

Google Maps Track

Track done with iphone gps (motionx). Not too shabby.

**carvinconcrete** · 05-25-2009 07:36 PM

Coolio. I went for probably a 3-4 mile ride with my family (they were on bikes) today on this path i have by my house, got some good pictures, almost crashed into a fence (twice).
Went fast, chilled, got sweaty.
Thats what its all about

**Xgecko** · 05-25-2009 07:43 PM

2 hours in the skatepark with only one other person I learned 2 new lines and hit my first frontside air (actually first air) since I broke my ankle last september...it was a good day

**d-loop** · 05-25-2009 10:54 PM

I had a pretty relaxing ride today, went to a packed Almaden park. There are a couple of miniscule but fun hills, enjoyed dodging folks on those. Later, I went to this fun little bank (small incline) at the bank (center of money exchange) by my house, rode up and down doing body varials, very laid back. I also practiced some more shuvits, there're getting more consistent. I'm trying to them switch, which is tricky...
