September 13, 201015 yr I have a thing against longboards. Well, maybe not the boards themselves, but the people who ride them where I live are such tools. They're really trendy at my University I guess. But you get they kind of people who ride them through crowds of people, along the walkways, weaving in out of people. And then you have the types who rock up 20 minutes late to a lecture, walk out in fron of the lecturer to prop up their longboard on the other side of the room, and then slowly find a seat, while holding the lecturer up. /rant Those are the sort of guys who do it to look cool, they aren't true longboarders. Thats debatable. What truly makes a 'true' longboarder? The most basic principle to longboards is transportation, which is why longboarding is popular on university campuses because of it's practicality.
September 13, 201015 yr That's true to a certain extent, but on my way home today I saw a guy longboard past me, then pick up his recyling bins and go inside a house, so he clearly lived across the road from the campus, and used it go get to class. Again, it's the people, not the longboard, but still.

Again, it's the people, not the longboard, but still.anyone who has a longboard is either in college or lives near the beach. those are the only times i've seen people use longboards and the only places i see people sell them

The grass? @Rainy I agree, cyclist need to stick to riding on roads, especially in the US otherwise cities aren't going to invest money into bike lanes, etc. I cycle everyday so when I see people ride on sidewalks, it angers me. I think it ultimately comes down to the individual, because people walking on foot can be just as bad as those on boards or bikes like today I got a chai tea at Starbucks on campus and I was walking back to the third floor of the student union and some girl in a group decided to swing out her arm to grab something out of her bag or something, was so unaware of her surroundings and almost completely knocked my chai out of my hands. It'd also help it campuses (maybe some do, but mine doesn't) would install designated path for people on bikes and skateboards to ride in to help sort traffic in congested places like university campuses.
September 13, 201015 yr Roads, my friend. A good longboarder flows with the traffic. Our aim is not to obstruct. 2257AD.TUMBLR.COM
September 13, 201015 yr Roads in Arizona are dangerous and very congested around campus so if your one a board riding on the road during the day your asking for trouble, which is probably what makes riding a board on the sidewalk more acceptable here, i dunno. It is sidewalk surfing after all. :grin: Longboarding is fun though, no matter where you do it. I just probably pull mine out soon and take it down a good hill or parking garage soon, it's been too long.
September 13, 201015 yr Remember to wear a helmet. That being said, I need a picture with a helmet on, not just knee pads. ON THAT TOPIC; Someone post some pictures! 2257AD.TUMBLR.COM
September 13, 201015 yr Me doing the littleboy. Wow I look really young in this picture.Good impression of Sam, the likeness is uncanny.
September 14, 201015 yr Remember to wear a helmet. That being said, I need a picture with a helmet on, not just knee pads. ON THAT TOPIC; Someone post some pictures! Helmets are for kids. j/k Since I spammed up the topic a bit, here's a picture from a hike I did this weekend. Ripped from FB so quality isn't great. I'm the one on the right, my twin brother is on the left. I usually wear glasses so it's rare to see me not sporting them. Feel lucky.

September 14, 201015 yr South Mountain, Phoenix, Arizona. It was suppose to be one of the more challenging hikes within the Phoenix valley but it honestly wasn't that hard.

September 14, 201015 yr Yeah, if you're reasonably fit, you'll find most of the times and difficulty ratings they put in the guides is a bit off. The one I did a couple of months back was supposed to be about 8 hours, but we did it in seven, and we took our sweet time too, plus it was snowed over.

The one I did a couple of months back was supposed to be about 8 hours, but we did it in seven, and we took our sweet time too, plus it was snowed over. Being in good shape probably did help but I also think it heat was suppose to be a huge factor too, it was right around 100F when we did this hike and if you weren't prepared for the heat you probably wouldn't have done so well.
