My bro-friend Andrew introduced me to the world of longboarding here a few years ago. He around the time had just purchased his own complete deck from a local skate shop near where he and I grew up. The idea I have gathered from it is that it is essentially skateboarding without the tricks. Longboarding is about the cruising and enjoyment of rolling. This is all me. I am all about getting out and enjoying cruising. I just didn't like pushing a board every few feet. This simple pushing gets more tiresome than one may think. The freedom of boarding is so gratifying for me. I love just rolling and not worrying about a single thing in the world. This video shows how the freedom really can be for the rider.
I dream of doing rides like this in the future. I want to be able to bomb hills and possible learn to slide around corners. The simple sight of this by other riders is amazing. I just want that sort of thrill and excitement.
This video is great. Simply just great. The editing on it is near perfection. Using calming songs with some exciting video footage is a good balance to add to a regularly intense activity. It is very calming to watch.
