Haha wow... some of those comments are mighty angry. I've skated with some of the guys in the video and they by no means suck. Oh well, I still thinking bombing down a hill at 60+ will always be more fun than doing a kickflip.
I been a skater (punk) since the early 80's and damn proud it. It's all good, longboard, shortboard, ironingboard, whatever. It's the Nazi punk skaters that might feel that their skateboard "activity" has been duped by longboarders.
I magine it's like a doctor who goes out and buys a Harley and expects to ride and be respected by the Hells Angels. The shit aint gonna happen with out some harsh words of conflict. It's hard to tell if someones true to thier roots, we can never really know. Anybody can buy 5 decks and say "check out the quiver" and expect to be judged by that.
I have skated non-stop for almost 30 years. I'm an Architect and shred daily.
I have been skating too goddamn long to let anybody tell me that I have invaded their sport.
Wow..people need to take it easy. Reminds me of those kids that used to hang out under the bleachers in high school. All dressed exactly the same trying to be "different". If I want to wear flip-flops on my board, I will. If I want to wear a suit on my board, I will. At least I'm on my board.
Sure, agreed. I know i just get the best joy out of seeing some hippie jocks buy a brand new deck, talk about how much they are getting into longboarding, only to get wobbles on the first decent hill they descend.... and proceed to put said new deck under the bed (with their wakeboard... haha) and never ride it again bc they got their ass handed to them and are enjoying two weeks of neosporin.
Hrm...personally I dont agree. I'd love to see everyone and their mother on a board. The larger the community the better IMO. Large amounts of people can lead to innovation. Besides, we cut down our foot print on the planet. If I could I'd give everyone a board to ride. I'd teach those that I could teach, and learn from those that can teach me.

More people on boards also means more dumbasses on boards... and last thing i want at MY spot is dumbasses... but hey if your all for it man, send me your streets you ride.. you can have busloads of buddies to ride with. You might even get to wear some cool jackets and rings with greek letters on them. wow. 8)
And reducing our footprint is a wonderful thing. much respect on your idea of that... but please think about the more the merrier situation. some ppl just need to stick to walking to reduce planetary footprint.
here is an interaction scenario... you pull up to your favorite hill. all of a sudden there are 500 ppl there you gave ALL boards and ALL of them riding.. now go down that hill and enjoy interacting with everyone. sometimes things sound better than they actually are.
