Learn to Longboard Off Road

[Crazyscience101]

Just buy an all terain board off of ebay for 90, and its retail is like 700. I love mine, alot better than longboarding.

at 1:14 i ALMOST got impressed, but u didnt clear the staircase :(

[jebenteenmongool1]

what's the brand of your board, and where did u buy it?

[blacklungsjoe]

@jebenteenmongool1 Mine is a Gravity 45" Spoon nose. It can be easily purchased off the internet. The internet IS your most consistent source to find the board that is perfect for you. Sector 9 has saturated the skate stores with boards leaving little for the myriad of other designers. Also ordering off the internet is rarely more expensive than what you find in skate shops. Sorry for the uneccasary length of this comment.

[jimtheguru1]

cool nice vid.

[tubuduk]

is the spoon nose a good board??

[blacklungsjoe]

I'm definatley a big fan. It's a little old school, just like me.

1:51 LOLLL :'D

sry but man u suck...

[sbomb33]

pretty nice boarding i guess (stairs and shit) but remember long boarding is all about STYLE so maybe work on that a little- or ALOT, just advice...

[FreeWater9]

I have the same board.

[jagcardinals22]

whats the song?

[blacklungsjoe]

[swedenfirefighter]

LOL 0:57.

[tengudesu]

nice video :) real happy beginning with your little song haha

by the way, what's the name of the song in the movie ?

[Lloydeeinspace]

lol anyone can do that, but now i wih it was summer again...-_-'

[blacklungsjoe]

I also think any longboarder can do this, but most have never tried.

[Lloydeeinspace]

i guess ionno sometimes your going too fast and you see grass so you use it to slow down but whats also cool, is an offroad longboard they are SIIIICK!

[TwoThirdsPi]

no doubt, man. I tried my good friend's once, I'll never forget that shit XD

[UpSkateTeam]

your not really showing us HOW to go off road...your just showing off

[blacklungsjoe]

So? my point is to LEARN to dot it. It;s just a suggestion cuase most longboarders are unaware that you can ride off-road if the ground is dry enough. It's a great skill though, it allows you to transfer from one sub-strate to the next.

[algunick]

what wheel are you using i mean how much MM???

and one thing more do you lose much speed in teh grass?

[blacklungsjoe]

I use a softer durometer, 77mm. Use tall wheels. yes you will always lose speed in the grass. make sure it's dry. winter is a greta time to practice.

[shortaznmonsta]

this is relaly quite lame

[killaric11]

hmm after seeing some of these longboarding videos i kinda regret my first board being a evo-black tree, its a low ride, good for downhill but, i wanna do all, so i shoulda got a free rider or sumpin eh?

[blacklungsjoe]

The most important thing is to have a board at least 42'' long and large wheels. I recomend krytonic wheels for diverse kinds of riding.

[lovekyordie15]

thats not always true at all. a 42" isnt suitable for many things, it is hard to ride in crowded downtown areas and is to long for alot tech slides.

i wouldnt sugest kryPtonic wheels either unless your on a budget. Abec 11 makes the highest quality wheels for almost every kind of riding. I would suggest gumballs or retro zigzags, somewhere in the range of 78a and 83a (hardness of the wheel)

[blacklungsjoe]

Do you long board off Road? If so, post a vid. I saw one of your vids, it was good quality. Anyway, you seem to have a lot of advice on this style of riding, and this style needs more promotional videos. It is good for people to know that they can use their long boards to take short cuts through grassy, or rocky areas.

Im 24 and I think Kryptos are awesome! Although currently Im using Sector nines equivalant.

[lovekyordie15]

i can post a vid with some off road riding, i do it aswell if it seems like a good time to do it. kryptonics arnt bad wheel, you can just pay $10 more to get really high quality wheels.

[inluvwithsara]

Smooth skating man, just make sure its dry...

[fuzzydeer]

I've ride my dh down flights of stairs

[eb2uoY]

do not do this!!!! it will completely screw the heck out of your board, the wheels, trucks, and berings...

[blacklungsjoe]

Any damage to your hardware is marginal at best. I did screw up my ankle though.

[eb2uoY]

yea w/e but they have made wheels and berings and all that other crap made for this...

[charpeedarth07]

does anybody know where i can get the older edition of the sector 9 roadhouse deck?i hate the new one

[TTTTPPPMMM]

Is this relly good fot he board ?

Driving on grass and downs stairs?

[blacklungsjoe]

Riding down stairs scratches up the bottom of the board but who cares? The grass will not hurt your board, but if it is wet it will get your board stuck in the mud.

[morgaandelove]

try mountain board..and give me your gravity!!:)

[sherrys1980]

amazing.
