> [@Coldaccord](#): > > 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 i found an old school McGill that l was thinking of picking up ---

So me and drew went on a 16+ mile ride tonight. Went down some pretty short but STEEP/FAST hills… tons of fun. Met 4 other longboarders, one was a chick and she was BALSY. RAD. I skated about 7 miles switch, which is a lot harder than I thought it would be. We raged a 9 story parking ramp as well, so good. ---

I probably won’t feel the skating. I skate a lot. What I may feel is the pain of eating shit trying to slackline in bidwell park… Holy fuck that’s hard. ---

How the hell would you make a quick stop if say a car or something pulled out? I can barely keep balance on a skateboard…so I have no idea about these things. Looks like a rush however. ---

Probably. Some of those hills are too depressing to skate up, so sometimes I carry it. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/longboarding/155988.md?page=1) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/longboarding/155988.md?page=3)
