Useless

My sliding and some old school style park/street longboarding as an extra. Some new tricks, some new variations but also tricks I used to do 20 years ago. Damn! I wish I had started skating over a lot earlier. Learning useless skills like skateboarding is so fun!

I use Lush Globe 38 for sliding and parks. Bigger one is Lush Kisiwa that I got just recently.

All the material was shot during May-October in 2007 around my home town Tampere and its neighboring areas.

Big thank you for musicians Aimo J.,
DJ Youl http://www.youtube.com/user/djyoul
and DJ DerShrimps http://www.youtube.com/user/dershrimps1 who allowed me to use their tunes.

The biggest ever GrandMasterThankyou for my man Juha Kokkala for taking camera to every session during the summer and shooting tirelessly.

can you ollie and do other tricks on the globe slide

Why not?

It is a skateboard with decent tail and nose.

@jperkele Whats different with this board, opposed to the skateboard you normally see and parks and stuff?

[jperkele]

@taintingfeature It is a little bit longer (38 inches) and somewhat wide. And wheels are bigger. Big and hard wheels run faster and slide better.

These are some really elegant slides. I like it.

Thanks!

@durrislongboarding I would say the the 35"/36" or the 38".. 41" may just be a bit too big!

[taintingfeature]

@jperkele Oh alright. Thanks for the reply

[durrislongboarding]

@jperkele thanks:) sick vid btw:D

41 is quite a much for bowls...

I think Globe Slide (36 inches) would be perfect for riding bowls. And for sliding too of course.
