Longboarding NYC: Broadway Bomb Race 2009

New York's longboarding push race free-for-all, straight down Broadway. Follow Brian Bishop pushing hard through the heart of NYC (and ~6 miles of traffic) on a slightly modified coarse to the finish of the 2009 Bomb.

If you missed the Broadway Bomb in 2009, be there (New York City) this October 2010 to add your name to the list of entries in what is quickly becoming THE signature longboard push race. Special thanks to Sam Houston and Dane Webber.

Hello guys, I have a question.

I have a longboard and I skateboard pretty often but, I step with my left foot which is infront of my right foot and, I have my right foot behind my left the whole time is that normal ?

I don't see people standing this way..

Mostly It's like left foot at the front and then step with right or right in the front and step with left..

@ownedbyjelleh this is called Mongo pushing. It's controversial whether it is wrong to push like this or not. I personally do not think it matters. In fact, many people who skate for Original push like this, including one of the co-founders, Brad Imbrie.

@Originalskateboards thanks for the info! People tought it was weird so I tried to ride regular for 5 days now and I can now ride regular almost fluently and mongo in switch now (:

@ownedbyjelleh it's good to know how to ride both ways, especially if you're doing long distances like this race. Knowing how to push both ways gives your legs a break.. plus one of your calf muscles will not be bigger than the other haha!
