That video is effin ballin pimp awesome!! i like how you went to all these cool areas like way up in the rockies. I liked the skateboard tricks but could you leave that out? cuz skateboarding and longboarding are 2 way different things you know? Other than that it was so cool!

**gspotornado** · 09-02-2008 09:53 PM

wowza thats a new fav for me. leave in the shortboard and for that matter the surfing! makes it way more interesting for one.

I think you contacted my brother a few weeks ago to possibly be "sponsored" by origional

00:38 was incredible!

**miniskates** · 09-02-2008 11:14 PM

well done, nice stoke boost for sure.

**Mall Grab** · 09-02-2008 11:25 PM

Great video. I don't think it'll make freestyle cool, though.

Lets see if I can help with the embedding:

Supa-dope, my man! I suddenly have this huge urge to go find some hills in the redwoods. Hmm, wife wants to go the the coast later this month...

edit- Well, the embedding works, but the vid looks & plays much better if you click the vid title, let it take you through to youtube and then click "Watch in High Quality". Don't know how to force the HQ link from this end.

where in the sierra nevada range were you

**sloweyefasthand** · 09-03-2008 02:21 AM

Holy crap that video was simply awesome! The song fit perfectly with the feel and vibe. Good stuff! Make more!

And ignore the "take the shortboarding out" requests, it's all skateboarding, and that primo was to f-ing sick to deny.

Hey Guys,
Thanks for the good word!
We have been working on this stuff for so long I guess I have kind of gotten used to it (even though I still watch it once in the morning before I start work and once at night before I leave).

It is sick to see that people are stoked on it!

#1: Skateboarding in the video
While we were surfers first and snowboarders second. We have a lot of roots in traditional skateboarding (I spent years practicing airs / spins on my shortboard to compete snowboarding during the winter). That being said at this point we are focused on longboarding progression... which I believe will involved a lot more flip/freestyle type tricks (albeit while going downhill) than most people would expect. For that reason, among others, its always good to know a good freestyler : )

#2. Locations in the Sierra
Most of that stuff was shot on roads around Yosemite NP which is off course off limits to skateboarders since we destroy park benches etc. So, don't ride in the park, ride around it, and go on a week day if you decide to, its flippin packed and impossible on the weekends.

#3. We are, in fact, building a team. So! If you ride, rip and enjoy going places like this, get your #### together and post us up some of your best stuff. We head out for our next adventure the 14th of Sept with another BIG one in October.

Thanks again for the good word guys!

Easily the coolest longboarding video I've ever seen. I gotta find some awesome scenery to freeride.

Not to be a douche, but protect your noggins so you guys can make more of these!

I am with you on the helmets Petary,
Anyone know a protection company looking for riders?

fantastic...5mins of video tends to be on the longer side of skate clips but it never looses my attention. Music is fitting, beautiful backdrop, primary focus is obviously on skating but I like the appropriate surf shots thrown in,a sprinkle of snowboarding wouldn't hurt either if it works for you guys in future vids. I like your night shots, they almost seem signature for some reason, not sure if it's because of "cadillac mountain". I enjoy the style of your existing team, Sean Burke's style helps create a nice mix (does he ride a board in the quiver you offer?). I look forward to the continued success of your company and what you bring to the freedom and growth of longboarding.
