Longboarders Take Over The Seawall

[bcjr13]

:jointsmile:
Every year in Vancouver a few hundred Longboarders meet at 4:20 pm smoke joints and catch up with old friends then shortly after 5:00 pm we cruise around Stanley Park. This is a vid I made of a crew from the New Amsterdam Cafe going to and being in the cruise. Hope you enjoy.

[onequestion]

Whats so fun about longboarding? Im thinking of getting one but im worried ill get bored fast.

[Canuckofithaca]

the feeling of pure adreneline you get as you bomb a hill at unsafe speeds, the feel of the open road (tacky, i know) and its just great fun

[onequestion]

How is when ur high. Is it anything like snowboarding. I love snowboarding but i cant imagine falling the way i do on a snowboard on concrete.

[Canuckofithaca]

eh i stay away from my board when im high, unless im not going too fast, trying to watch my neck

yeah it hurts when you fall but all you have to remember to do is tuck and roll, dont try and catch yourself with your hands or youll break something

[onequestion]

What do you mean tck and roll? You mean go into a ball? Wouldnt that be dangerous?

[pixel]

tuck and roll means that whe nyou hit the ground you bend over (tuck) let the force of the fall take you to the ground and then let the force of the fall roll you over (if you fall from a skateboard ud know what i mean) once u are done rollin over theres no more force

its just a better way to take any type of fall than it is to hit the ground stiff and arms planted out just foamin at the mouth to be broken

[Canuckofithaca]

one of my friends tried to catch himself, broke one of his arms, and then smacked his face nad broke his jaw

[bcjr13]

It's simular to the roll they teach you in martial arts. It's saved my ass more times than I can count. Worth learning.

You don't fall as much with longboarding as skating but you can be going much faster when it happens. Invest in some pads and a helmet, if you're worried.

As for being high and riding, it all depends on you. Do you get high when you snowboard? If so you won't have much problems. I ride baked all the time, I find I don't have to think about what I'm doing, I just do it, but sometimes I get spooked and just walk if I'm to high. know your limits.
