Longboarding
I'm currently learning to kick mongo. It's like writing left handed while upside down. There are a few techniques and some good videos, although as always it all comes down to practice until your body obeys. https://youtube.com/watch?v=xUHohKDiMNc https://youtube.com/watch?v=IBlSIqnep7w https://youtube.com/watch?v=eEk-_izFUfA Edit: this one is really good, has subtitles... https://youtube.com/watch?v=cchu077Cm_0
Thanks for setting up longboarding on Lemmy! I thought it would be nice to make a thread about LDP (long distance pushing/pumping) and I thought I’d post a few links for anyone interested in the idea of travelling long distances on their board. Please feel free to add more links in the replies, it’s quite a niche type of skating so there’s not loads of content out there, but once you start looking there’s some good stuff!

I know this isn't much, but I just discovered this community and wanted to post a thing
This one is 31x9 in. Pressed with 7 layers maple, and biaxial fiberglass on the bottom. I paired it with indy stage 11's and orangatang kegels. A couple days ago I replaced the bushing with riptide fat cone, street cone combos.
Still trying to learn lemmy. Here's a new deck I finished yesterday. It's 36x9in, vlam ash core with maple stringers, sandwiched between 2 layers of triaxial fiberglass, and 1/16 maple veneer. Hand dyed tobacco burst, and clear coated in epoxy resin.
I thought I could make a 90° left turn, took it too wide and clipped my wheel on the curb. I ate it hard. Face and shoulder hit asphalt. Wrecked a 25 year old Hawaiian shirt. Also wrecked my arms. Pretty sure nothing broke, but my tendons are sore as hell. I can't lift my arms. Thus endeth my downhill ambitions. Cruising only from now on. I'm 45 and I can't take a fall like that.
Helloww, I started longboarding a few month ago and i love it!!! In my country we don't have a lot of hills but i would like to start going down little hills how do you find these spots ? Not just hills but other pretty routes ? Currently i just drive without a plan :)
Perfect spot to rest on a hot day
Welcome everyone! I created this place for people who really enjoy their boards! Post videos of your favorite longboarding paths, share pictures of your boards, or ask questions about gear. Skteboarders and e-boarders are of course also welcome here!
I mostly use the alternative one, it just has such a nice feel to it.
