Nice video! Very well done. You guys cover the reasons why WE choose to longboard. There is a whole crew of us in eastern Iowa who longboard (about 30+ of us).....we additionaly make our own boards (Ebb&Flow Custom Longboards) - we have a gathering of the tribes so to speak every year on Go Skate Day - we should try and all get together.

@MrBranBe Thanks! Although I don't live in Iowa anymore, I've still got a lot of friends there who love to board. There's a surprisingly large skate community in Iowa!

does longboarding in the winter fuck up your bearings?

[splugorf]

It can. I'd much rather have to buy new bearings come spring, than go all winter without longboarding. Your call.

[splugorf]

@thebledcore Here's how I know u don't ride..... the longboarding community is SO accepting of different ability levels and most riders encourage people that are getting started or just like to keep it chill. Think of it this way: when a group of ppl go out to ride there isn't this ego-cultured one-up-man-ship that can occur in other sports. It's more like, whoa that's sick I wanna try that (or maybe some variation.) I have met very few longboarders that are exclusionary in any way....

[thebledcore]

you guys are pussys this isnt longboarding. find a steep hill with sharp curves and ride down it = longboarding.

This gave me influence!
