East Lansing Longboard Event by Go Green Longboarding

It’s on November 21st and it’ll be sweeeet. It’s at my stomping grounds so I’m sure to be there and all those guys from Go Green Longboarding (http://gogreenlongboarding.com) seem way cool. I highly recommend anybody from the area or anywhere in driving distance to come down and join us. It’s only $5 and it goes to an awesome cause. More information on their forum. Unfortunately I have volunteering plans on that day :( Next time though.. I promise!

November 21st, 2009 in Downtown East Lansing, Michigan (48840) beginning at 8pm

Entry fee: $5

Additional Info: Helmet Required and bring some gloves yo

RULES:
-Kicking rules will vary per garage.
-We’ll throw some buttboarding in there for good measure.

-4 man heats
-Arrive in front of the Auditorium at 8 PM (http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?ad … code=48824)
-If you don’t have a helmet and gloves don’t come. I’m sure we have gloves to spare but I don’t feel like leaving behind brain juice at garages.

Garage #1 (Bessey) – Long and slow with all left turns. You can kick down the whole thing.
Garage #2 (Hamster Cage) – 5 floors and fast with all left turns, stop on the 2nd floor or die. You can kick the whole first down.
Garage #3 (Grand River) – I’m gonna have to check this one out before I define it.
Garage #4 (Comm Arts) – 4 floors and fast with 3 rights and a left. You can kick until the line, then kick and pump the whole bottom flat section.
Garage #5 (Wharton) – We have some leeway here, I’m thinking all rights, all lefts, and hit 2 cutbacks. Kick status pending.

They have sponsors but are looking for more if anyone’s interested!! Please contact the original poster on the gogreenlongboarding website.

Our new friends at Koastal Longboards

We have a new relationship with Koastal Longboards and they are awesome. Their longboards are slick and they have a lot of heart going into it. Their boards are for everything you can imagine, the surfing feel, carving, hill bombing, cruising, literally all you could ask for in a longboarding company. In case you didn’t already click on the link above here it is again, http://koastalboards.com. Below is a video of both their woodshop, longboarding, and surfing. Check it out

Get a Pair of Longboard Sliding Gloves NOW

There’s nothing like a pair of sliding gloves to take your longboarding to the next level. With a pair of sliding gloves you can get low and add some flair to your style by spinning, sliding, and mastering the roads. You can make your own but I recommend the Loaded Sliding Gloves as they have everything you need at a very reasonable price.

These are one size fits all. They have included knuckle protection, a breathable mesh top side, a wrist cushion (not intended as a replacement for proper wrist protection, but it helps,) and a whole lot more.
Editor’s Comments: If you’re new to longboarding or want to go to the next elevation, I highly highly recommend picking up a pair of these!

Get the Loaded Sliding Gloves Now, only $55.95

Quadline Longboarding Video

Published by Longboard Mike under Longboarding,Media

Quadline made this longboarding/skateboarding video several years ago. I like their boards a lot, they have very wide trucks and 100mm wheels that seem like rollerblade wheels. These boards have great speed and can go over plenty of bumps and stop rocks.
