Local community in an uproar

I feel like someone should point out the stupidity of this comment.
We do not care if you do not like Loaded boards. That has nothing to do with the issue.

haha dude chill out. his name is enemy combatant for a reason. i thought it was funny

Uhh... they're in Australia.
They drive on the LEFT side of the road, so they were in their correct lanes.

THANK YOU

it definetely is dangerous, and a bit different than biking. Bikes have really good brakes, and unless your a pro boarder sliding to stop isnt always an option. That being said, your probably going the same speed as most cars, so if they're in their own lane it shouldnt even be a problem.

Pro boarder? You dont have to be paid to skate to know how to slide. And if you are going those speeds it is your responsibility to be comfortable with them; the same goes for bikers.
I'm 100% unwilling to concede this point. We are stopped all the time for doing the same thing as bikers. It is unfair.
When you are going 40mph on ANYTHING, the only thing that will stop you is a wall. if the biker fell, he would skid into traffic just as readily as I. When you hit the brakes on a bike at 40, you do it gradually, or you skid out and lose control of your stop. SO, we have a very comparable stopping distance. the skill required to make the stop has nothing to do with the argument.

Best to skate on the QT. Hit a garage for one or two runs then dart over to another.

Despite all the rah-rah cheerleading on this site I've come to the sad conclusion that longboarding getting so popular is NOT a good thing.

I know what you mean. Ever since our new parking garage was build skaters have been in the police reports non stop. They screw around and ruin it for the rest of us.

My friend told me he would almost like another low point in skating so that it would weed out posers and what not...

[WTF]

longboarders should know the media is only going to put a negative spin with lots of sensationalism and only cause more scrutiny over the sport they love.

But nooo... stupid kids like these are like, ZOMG they want to inteview us! We get to be on TV!

It's always the same, the few will ruin it for the rest of us.
