Hill bombing on your longboard @Aetas & son 

[BD81]

This is my hill bombing and walking the dog board

Lol, for Father's Day, i got a long board. Not really a long board as it is a cruiser, but it's a better ride than my old street deck.

I asked for it so i could cruise next to the 4 year-olds while they ride their bikes. It's a Loaded Board Coyote.

A dad-board! Well done sir.

Softer wheels will also turn any street deck into a cruiser… oj super juice, ricta clouds etc.

[Yogi217]

^definitely. I wanted the extra length in the wheel base (between the trucks) that "long board" companies use.

Although, I may try to scoop something in the 34-35 inch range. When picking out the coyote, I was nervous about straying too far from a traditional street deck.

I felt the same way, you should check out skull skates the board I posted earlier is a 42"inch popsicle shape and this one is a 36" popsicle.

[BD81]

You can still ollie up curbs and whatnot if you need to. It's a bit harder to kick or heel flip the 42" though

[Yogi217]

Thanks! Will do. All i want to do is ollie up or over stuff. At 40 years old, that's all i should be doing. Part of this is also  off season training for snowboarding and all i do there is ollie off rollers, etc.

Too old to push my limits….

The Park Board looks intresting to say the least.

Skateboarding is really a lession in positivity, I landed the 360 Shuvit on the Weekend after two weeks of trying and based on that a BS Biggerspin on the Bank the same day, today i wanted to re-do the 360 Shuv and simply couldnt do it. I landed a Kickflip randomly inbetween which is huge for me hence i suck at flip tricks but i basiclly in the moment ignored it because i was pissed that i couldnt re-do the other trick. I shouldve appericiated the accomplished and saved the other mission for later, life lession.

The Second inherent lession is that skateboarding is effin hard

Well done man! Keep grindin and you'll only ever get better! @Steffen
