    Default Respect

    so yeah i was browsing the forums to read up on this sport i found out about only a few days ago and i am quite amazed. most of the time people are complete idiots when and totally disrespectful when anonymity is a factor; however, that is not the case with every thread i read. only once did i read a post where someone put up something random and said something close to a harsh word. then later he posted back and appologised. no one has flamed people for asking dumb questions. the general consensus is all about having fun and not overly focused on skill. if that is how the community around longboarding is, than i am totally down with it. perhaps i haven't done enough reading. i mostly read in the forum area concerning equipment and carving.

    oh and the site is telling me i spelled longboarding wrong. thought that was interesting.

    anyway keep up the respectfulness.

    It is your browser, not us, that corrects your spelling.
    The sage, Longboard Buddha once said, "A tree spends 100% of its lifetime in a static environment and only after its reincarnation as a deck is it allowed to move at fast speeds...
    when allowed, the wood will give thankless service if
    allowed to flow."
