8 years later and longboards still suck

[Schoon]

it seems like every flip-flop wearing white kid at my college owns a longboard

 

and every trendy asian international student owns a plastic penny board

[BearCousin]

i'd complain about the number of kids with longboards on campus, but i like watching them fall/struggle to push way too much.

shits gotten out of hand here. people have also added banana boards to the mixs....

Street skating is a lot harder than downhill by a longshot but downhill is more thrilling http://youtu.be/BwFek4V5aP4

If I wanna go that fast ill ride my motorcycle... And it's still not skateboarding, it's longboarding... Which I'll admit is better than rollerblades, but a bit worse than ebola

[toufu]

Its not the speed that's the thrill. Its the sketchy brake maneuvers at speed. The power slides are what makes it thrilling. I do agree that the ones that do it for speed do eventually quit and get into motorcycles lol

What would you consider soft wheels on a doublekick?

[cheapmuthafukr]

I'd consider soft wheels on a proper skateboard worthless unless you only ride old fucked up concrete parks.... They bounce when you try to do tricks on a normal surface, don't slide well, and wear faster.

And the vid you posted looks like a normal sf line, without tricks or style.

What do you mean when you say soft wheels bounce and don't slide well? I agree that they wear faster that's why they leave white lines when you slide them.

In the vid he's using soft wheels and they slide pretty well. Soft wheels here too

powerslides are boring

[aso2004]

I ride all boards .. Carpark to the beach( with surfboard) : longboard

Bowl :intermediate with soft wheels and for the park hard wheels with normal deck. I use the intermediate for runs to the grocers too.. Hard wheels and little rocks an dirt along with groceries are a bad combo..

i love the longboarder argument "it's fun to powerslide and bomb hills." it's also really fun on a normal skateboard you goons try it on a real board.
