This blog is dedicated to longboarding. There are occasional non-longboarding related posts, but that's pretty rare. And still awesome. Except on Special Section Sunday, when it's pretty common. And still awesome. So guise, GO LONGBOARD!
fated---to---pretend asked: hi lol kind of random, but ive been considering longboarding for a while, but when it comes down to getting a board im still unsure :/ thinking of buying a $200 board.. is it rly worth it??
Not random at all, I don’t mind :)
Here’s the thing: Longboarding is like running. There’s a ton of different ways to do it, there’s a few different kinds of people that do it, and despite some common misconceptions, it does in fact take a little bit of skill. Along with that, similar to running is the fact that I firmly believe that if you start out right, and you give yourself a while to get it right, you will enjoy it. I guarantee it.
Yes, $200 is a lot of money. And yes, there are some cheaper boards out there (check out daddiesboardshop.com, they have great boards at low prices and I’m a diehard order-from-there person), but the important thing isn’t the money. Get a good board that you like, and it’s totally worth it. So yes, I think you should do it. :)
Sorry for the crazylong answer, but…
Go longboard! :D

Yes, it’s long. Because it has a lot to say. Yes, it’s hard to watch. Because it’s so sad. Yes, you should watch it. Because it will change your life.

cottonheadedninnymugginzzz asked: What is the best kind of longboard to get? I'm really curious
First off, love the name. Elf is amazing.
Thirdly — no, second, there are soooo many different styles of boarding out there. Do you want to just cruise around town, or are you looking to do tricks? Or maybe you want to speed down hills? These are all things you need to take into consideration when you think about buying a longboard.
And C, even when you decide what kind of style you want, it’s still hard to say what’s the ‘best’ board, cos there’s a bazzillion options out there. It’s more about a rider’s preference rather than what’s really the greatest board. I prefer Sector 9 overall because I’m all about cruising around town, SoCal style. But I know of loads of people who says Landyachtz or Gravity beat Sector 9 any day.
Honestly, I just did a terrible job answering that question, but I tried, I swear. It’s been a while since I’ve answered a longboarding question, so I hoped this wasn’t absolutely awful!
Go longboard!
I know everyone on the Internet, and on Tumblr especially, have been getting bombarded by anti-SOPA/PIPA messages and reblogs and notifications and tweets and whatever else. But does anyone understand — and I mean really understand — what they’re doing, where they’re coming from, and what effects they could have on us and on the Internet? In this video from Ted.com, Clay Shirky explains in an easy-to-understand way just why SOPA is a bad idea, and what we can do to stop it.
Take a look, it’s worth the time.
Nutella, banana and Frosted Mini Wheats sandwich. The late night snack of gods.
My mouth is so happy right now, I can’t even understand what’s happening.
Yum.
Guess who just won a Hamboards shirt?
This kid right here! I entered the contest and won. And I am so so happy! Can’t wait to get out there and rep me some Hams! I feel like I could do a better job of getting the Hamborgs some business if I actually owned a Hamboard, but…. You know, whatever. No hard feels. *cough* I shoulda won *cough* ;p
But in all sincerity, gratz to Danielle Meier, the first place winner (who won a free bamboo Hamboard), and gratz, too, to all the people who won t shirts!
Hamboards rule guys, go check them out if you haven’t already.
Go Longboard!
my active quiver. all soda boards from the clutch division [i ride for clutch flow and heshers]. you have the Pink PGT top mount with paris 180s and deanz, nipple bushings. the doubletap with paris 180s and broken in heshers, and finally the tuna melt with 42 randals and new heshers.
I have had a few questions about my quiver, this is the answer, my active quiver, i have other boards on the shelf mind you.
<3
Very cool quiver. Gonna be honest, I’m a teency bit disappointed there was no story behind the cat, and why it was there. But cats tend to just show up, so I guess that’s the story right there haha!
Im sorry for the bad parts of this…but this is such an amazing video—took my breath away. I really want to longboard!
Such a cute crew, all laughing and having a great time. I really do love them.
