I have recently aquired a longboard. For those of you who dont know, longboards are like a skateboard, but longer. For those of you who are ignorent enough to not know what a skateboard is, think: plank with wheels.Longboards are used for general skating/crusing/commuting/downhill. As a result, their size and style vary greatly.
The board i have, the Landyachtz B-Ride, is actualy massive, even for a longboard (its 1.5 meters long).
Upon skating it i learnt several things.
The B-Ride loves smooth open tarmack
The B-Ride loves going fast and smooth
The B-Ride doesnt like grass
The B-Ride really doesnt like mud
The B-Ride throws a paddy on ice
The B-Ride also doesnt care for curbs
The B-Ride also doesnt care for curbs
My head doesn't care for hedges or walls.
Having said that, the B-Ride is actualy awsome, skating on it is a breeze. You would expect such a big board to handle like a tank. However, the revenge trucks turn in a rather different way to normal trucks and as a result it handles like a much smaller board.
Having just used it to commute to college today, my legs hurt a little. But my jorney time was cut by about half.
In conclusion i absolutely love this board, all i need to do know is pony up some more money to finish paying its previos owner.
