I’ve been using it for city transport, way cooler than a bike, way faster than a shortboard… I’m gonna find some gnarly hills to shred, even if that means going to alleghany. ---

Longboarding can be scary. The street my gf’s parents live on has a super gradual slope to it. I got going pretty fast on her brothers long board last time I was out there. I was in a suit too. I was super suprised I didn’t eat shit. I really should have taken pics ---

for hills longboards are straight, but around town I feel not so much. with such a long wheelbase they have a rather large turning radius comparatively, and the lack of a kick tail prohibits sharp turns. For the city application I recommend an “old-school” board. Big wheels, just as comfy and fast, but more maneuverable ---
