Itch Posted August 2, 2009 Content Count: 3440 Joined: 12/12/07 Status: Offline Share Posted August 2, 2009 Anyone else here into longboarding? Some would argue that this isn't a sport but I thought this was the most fitting location to post this on the forums... Here are some pics of the boards... 90mm Wheels.. roll right over most anything. And the board that I was riding Friday afternoon.. when I decided to test whether or not the concrete was as hard as it looked..... And yes it's as tall as my 7 year old. The results of the test were as expected.. I've lost about 20% of my skin and am pretty bruised up... but got right back on the board. Link to comment

I am usually trick skating as well as riding some mini ramps (And once a vert ramp.....ouch), but I'll occasionally be out on my old longboard, riding downhill on empty highways in small towns I pass when I go up to school in the fall. The best time is around 2 AM, when no one is out and the sun is just showing on the horizon. But here in Milwaukee, I'm likely to hit someone on the sidewalk, as no one here ever sleeps anymore.

It's kind of a mixture of surf & skate.. I'd recommend it to anyone that's into surfing or snowboarding. Link to comment

Caution Posted August 4, 2009 Content Count: 11501 Joined: 10/19/08 Status: Offline Share Posted August 4, 2009 (edited) Also, my Rasta board All of these are completely custom made from 3 of my friends. I paid $40 for the complete Rasta board, and $80 for the Billy Mays board. The Billy Board hauls so much ass it's ridiculous. Edited August 4, 2009 by Caution Link to comment
