DarthKoopa Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 I have mentioned before how I have been finding much joy and peace through longboarding. Well I captured a few clips this weekend. I dont claim to be some awesome skater or anything like that. I am just a cruiser. But I hope I captured my stoke for skating. Here are a few of my favorite clips I shot. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WN-HySSNINw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPf0z_oMkzI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8iufWw3CzDY 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenaissanceWoman Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Dude! That was like watching an eagle soaring. So quiet, so peaceful. You definitely captured it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LifeCycle Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 That's cool! This seems to be a growing activity around these parts as well. While out on my bike I'm seeing more and more long boards. Looks like a lot of fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owen652 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Nice man. Good to see another skater on here. I've made quite a few skating vids in the past, and one bit of advice I'd give is to find a friend who can also skate, or at least drive behind you, and get some follow shots, cos POV alone can get a bit repetitive. I longboard a bit, although it tends to get a bit boring for me just cruising, and my board is no good for bombing. My board of choice is the freebord though, cos it replicates snowboarding, which is what I love. Here's a freebord vid I made a couple of years ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-UVHjFQQe8 Keep it up dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthKoopa Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 Nice video. I have never seen those freeboards before. Looks chill. It would be nice to have someone to skate with. To be honest I don't have many friends right now. I'm dealing with a lot and don't want to be around my old Christian "friends". Hell, my own wife is hardly my friend anymore. I started to tell her I have doubts (didn't tell her i just don't believe) and she flipped out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owen652 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 well you're certainly not alone, all my friends disappeared when i left church and while I don't really miss them because i now see them for what they truly are (hypocrites mostly), at my age (40) it is not a simple thing to make new friends. Although, I did make a couple by organising some ride days for Sydney freeborders. Are there many longboarders in your area you can hook up with? Maybe lurk the longboard forums or start your own crew, just for cruisin'. I'm a very shy, introverted type, so if I can do it anyone can. Having a common interest makes things so much easier.

SRS Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Darthkoopa- Hill Bombing looked pretty daring. Owen 652- Racing Rats looked wicked as well. Never got into the downhill much. Don't like the speed wobbles. I used to skate prefessionally back in the 80's. Mostly in California at a place called Del Mar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthKoopa Posted June 27, 2013 Author Share Posted June 27, 2013 This is the fastest hill I have hit so far. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lNf5_7PyPpE&feature=plcp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
