How was your daily longboarding ride/s?

Got some new slide gloves and of course I had to break them in.

Had a good time, even tho I ate s*** a couple of time, but thats just a part of the game.

I just went out for a ride a couple of hours ago and I'm sure I blew out the calf muscle in my right leg. It felt like someone threw a baseball at my leg. I'm icing it right now but I'm bummed out big time!

The Penn State Longboard Club meets on Thursdays at 6:00pm. Riding like 30 deep is fun. You can go anywhere and people just move out of the way (not a common occurrence for me.) I just wish that I could go faster. Nobody wants to go fast!

i woke up put my shoes on checked myspace and then got hungry. went to the skate store (in a car) and bought paris trucks because my friend is a skimp and wont let me use his hangers. set up 42 prandals on the hellcat. facking gnarly shred down to macdonalds, got some props from a gangster and then some old lady started calling the cops on me it was awesome. mcdoubles pwn

Isn't it retarded though how Double Cheeseburgers are $1.29, and McDoubles are $1.00. The only difference is one piece of cheese. That means that like 25% of the cost of the Double cheeseburger is one of the pieces of cheese! What the hell?

I'm going to start tallying up "kills" on my board from the local trails. At night it seems I can get within arm's reach of someone before they notice I'm there, at which point they realize and jump out of the way, often grabbing their friend in the process. So far I'm at 6

Went for a cruise last night around Tropicana stadium. Great ride but i totally slammed towards the end. There is elevated sidewalk that goes over the highway and ends with a spiral down to ground level. The city started putting bumpy concrete patches where the sidewalkd meets the street. Took the wrong approach and caught that, i couldnt recover and bit it. Just a few scratches and my buddy's got a good laugh. Karma's a b*tch though, one of them caught a patch of sand on the way back to their car and slammed too. All in all it was a good ride!

OK, So I've had my Heist for three weeks. I've been riding the around the mostly flat cul-de-sac out front working some long forgotten muscles in expectation of one day riding the double drop to the bottom of the 'hood.
Well today was the day and to my surprise I made it and managed to keep my butt of the asphalt.
To 99.9% of you this would be no big deal, it's not that steep or fast. But for me it was a major achievment and confidence builder.

Mike, keep working at it. It only gets better. We'll have to do an old guys ride someday, I'm moving to the Christiansburg, VA area in a week and that's not too far from Bristol.

Haha. There are some talented riders in Va. You guys should come hang out for some events. That's the best way to meet people and get deeper into the sport. You can really easily pick up tips and get better by pushing your limits with experienced skaters.

i havent gone today yet, but i plan on hitting this pretty sweet hill my friend was talking about, tomorrow. from what he describes...i want to do this to it

If I knew of any events I'd go. I posted in the regions section but got no response . If you know of any please send the info my way. I'm actually right on he TN / VA border .
Hanging with some experienced skaters would certainly help . Right now I'm getting everything from SilverFish which is great but having a bud on the hill would really help.
