I'm from Vancouver, Canada and i've always wondered what it is like to ride in Europe? Are people accepting of longboarders or are they weirded out by them? Are there local groups that go and ride together?

People are mainly accepting riders here in Sweden, but they arent realy used to us so if you meet a car or a bike or something like that the often kind of freak out a bit and things can get a bit dangerous. Cars turning or braking without warning and such, when it simply would have been better if the just kept going.
No trubbels with the law either.
And yes, people hang out in local groups and ride together. We aren't all that weird over here you know. . .

Some road trippin occasionaly occurs also. Mainly in the alps and other mountain ranges. . .

How do you guys roll in Vancouver?
