Chilled beats and longboarding seem go together perfectly for me. Anyone else out there?

Hoverboards are better.

i always associate skating with the beach, because the only time i would hop on one was to carry our boards from my friends house to the beach. i always ate shit, so this is my idea cruiser

Hahaha...that's well true.

I skated for about 8 years, worked in a skate shop...the whole hog. Stopped for one winter cause the weather was so shit and never really got back into it.

I'd love to start again but I know after 3 years I'd have to re-learn loads of basic shit, while my mates who are still skating would be on a whole other level.

Still watch skate vids now and again though...

(I was all about Blueprint decks when I was skating)

Skated for a number of years but stopped when I was around 16(when I started driving). Started back up a couple years ago but got sucked into longboarding and haven't touched my smaller deck since really. I like just cruising and and having nice style than trying to do tons of crazy tricks.

Take a look at some of these vids:

Been at it WAY too long. I used to be pretty good but a wrist/ankle break slowed things down. I still love it though, such a good feeling.
