Longboarding

So I've decided to learn longboarding, partly because it looks really cool, and partly to help me exercise. Today was my first day and even though I was terrified at first, I got decently good after an hour or so. Here is a picture of my longboard:

Just curious, does anyone else board/bike/ or rollerblade?

I think it's fun. It reminds me of my video games except it's way more fun IRL.

Re: Longboarding

I do some biking and sometimes roll through the house on a skateboard I got when I was ~8 while trying not to fall over.

Re: Longboarding

Is long boarding like skateboarding?
I'm not much of a skateboarder but I love to inline/ice skate

I've never been Skateboarding, but I'm pretty sure it's the same thing. According to my friend who is teaching me to skate Longboarding is slightly easier. It's also all they had at my college store lol.

Here's a size comparison (Skateboard on top, long board on bottom.)

EDIT: I stole this picture from the internet. I don't own a skateboard lol.

Re: Longboarding

I have a friend whose longboard is only a little smaller than a surf board.

Re: Longboarding

I'm not a fan of skateboards and stuff, but I like to ripstik. I ripstik like a pro. I even did a full wheelie for a second but I fell.
I have rollerblades, but I have had bad experience on it such as going down a ramp and falling on my butt.

I've seen people with Ripstik's. I can't imagine what it must be like riding one, they look so unstable. How do you keep balanced?

I like rip sticking only because I can get somewhere quick-ish while eating lol
As for skating... I think I am amazing... I do a small free-style and inline race competitions at a church in Alabama every year during Easter week
