Do you longboard?

Rat Rod,
those things are HUGE on the West Coasts here!

You twist the hips and it propells.
They are pretty neat!
you can do figure 8's on the spot.

Those Vision Gators were really cool, Rat Rod!
I like longboarding for the floating feeling you get with a bit of downhill.
Last hill I did was in Denmark, really smooth bike-path, super!

Sweet board you got Easy, I'll try to post mine soon.

Thanks, xddorox. This the only flat deck I have, first time I used bamboo.
My favorite to ride is a birchply deck with concave and drop-thru trucks.

Can't wait to see your deck(s)!

One of my fav longboard-sites is http://www.whoisadamcolton.com/
The trick-tips are hilarious!

BTW...I'm really interested in the longboarding scene. Back in the 80s I was big into skateboarding, had a couple sweet boards....a VISION Gator and and Alva board at one time..

I had a Vision Gator also. Built a quarter pipe but never got really good. I got to the same level of prophiciency as Rickster.

Looks like a visit to the emergency room waiting to happen. I remember multiple trips to the medicine cabinet as a kid after 'luging'(sp?) down the driveway on our backs/stomachs and falling off. Godspeed to those of you on the boards, long or otherwise. Rich

My kid and I are both huge skaters! yeah, it hurts more to bail when your a grandpa, but it keeps you limber. These are the boards that live by the front door, My kid commutes on the powell with the blood oranges and that's my bigfoot with the black grizzlys on it .
