Earthwing!

So this post will be about Earthwing, a good longboarding company. I personally have an Earthwing Supermodel and I love it a lot. It's my first board so I can't really compare it to anything else other than what I've ridden a few other times. But it really is a good all around board in my opinion. You can do awesome down hill with it, fun free riding, sliding, and just about everything else.

I would recommend this to anyone that wants to start longboarding or anyone that wants to get a new board. You can not go wrong with buying this baby!

Here is a picture of the beauty:

Crazy longboard accident at high speeds!

Wow I can't believe anyone could go this fast! I could never do anything close to this I bet, its just too fast for me and I'm still kind of new. Luckily he didn't die or anything, serious injuries though. Do any of you guys think you can go this fast???

About Longboarding

What is a Longboard?

A longboard is a longer version of a skateboard. Longboards are most commonly used for either downhill racing, slalom, or transportation. Due to its longer and wider base, a longboard is more stable, making the ride generally safer and more comfortable than on a shortboard, although it may be hard for beginners to ride down hills at high speeds. Their great weight makes them less suitable for many tricks,  but contributes to a fluid motion by giving more momentum. Thus, a longboard will roll farther with a single push of a foot. Many people therefore prefer longboards to normal skateboards for cruising on streets and sidewalks. Longboarding is often compared to surfing on concrete, and the size gives riders the option of performing big turns and quick short carves just like on a surfboard. Carving is way out of turning that is mostly used when one is going 12 mph or more.

My Longboard Welcome


I started longboarding my freshman year of college. It was the best decision I have ever made in a very long time. Longboarding has been so much fun for me ever since I started and I still love it as much as I did before. Going from class to class and back to my dorm takes no time and is fun now.

This is pretty much a new hobby for me and I think people should give it a try. It really gives me something to do with all of the free time that I have. You can longboard with friends too which makes it a really fun time.

To all of those that already longboard, I hope that you can still check out the things I upload in the future. Don't hesitate to post anything that you find might be helpful that other people should know. I hope for my blog to become filled with my experiences and opinions as well as very useful information about longboarding in general.

Welcome to my longboarding blog, I hope you find something useful here.
