Longboard the Nation for Charity!

It’s been way too long since I posted, Michigan Winter’s really getting to me! We are always ready to post user submitted content so if you have any news, stories, videos, pictures, and more you can send them to my business email, signalflowmedia at gmail dot com.

On that note, there are definitely some cool things in the world of longboarding. Let’s start off with my boy Reid’s longboard trip across the US for charity! Here’s a little info he sent me. They are raising a lot of money and they need all the donations they can get. What a great cause!

We will be longboarding from Murphy, in the mountains, to Manteo, at the coast, for a total of 700+ miles. The trip will take about 2 and a half weeks depending on our if we can keep a 50 mile a day pace. We are doing it for charity: water. Charity: water is a 100% non-profit organization raising money to drill wells and provide clean drinking water for people in Africa. $5,000 funds an entire water project that provides an entire village, of about 250 people, clean drinking water. God has laid the number $10,000 on my heart to raise so that is our goal. In doing so we can help make in difference in 500 peoples lives. To help kick off the trip we will be holding a DH race and Slide/Jam Session in Asheville. There whereabouts and details of that are not yet ironed out, but once we set firm dates for when to start the trip that will be taken care of. To donate go to http://mycharitywater.org/longboardacrossnorthcarolina and to anyone interested in the trip they can go to the group page I made: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_126420644094552&ap=1 Thanks for helping to promote this and once I get some more firm details about when the trip will start and about the slide/jam/race I will let you know. That kick off event will hopefully be big and I need it to be so I really appreciate you promoting all of this because I know that you will help to make a difference with all of this.

What was 2009 all about? Longboarding of course!


kind of just a year in review. thats when me and my friend really started getting more into longboarding. All of these clips are for the most part old all of them are 5+ months old now so we’ve both gotten a lot better since then. We enjoyed all the countless hours that we spent filming our videos trying to get stuff right. But yea we’ll have new videos for 2010 shortly.

subscribe, enjoy, and remember, your first year you fell in love with longboarding

Longboard Around the World: Chicago

I longboarded in Chicago over the summer and it was really cool. My friend had a skateboard and nobody else had anything but it was still fun. Since I have two boards now I hope to go back in the next little while and skate around the city. While I love my country hill bombing, you just feel really free and empowered tearing up a big city and flying past people. Say, is it illegal to board in city limits in Chicago? Word on the street is that it is, ohhh well :P

Longboarding: Let’s Go Already!



This got directed this way from Andrei and Adam Colton and I love it.

I love longboarding videos. The music. The mood. The visuals. There is always extremely perfect fitting music to go with stunning visuals. Whether its beautiful mountains or hard hitting tricks in a downtown area it never seizes to amaze me how great this little community is. We love what we do, and we do what we love yknow and what better a life lesson that that. This video has good sound effect timing too.

“Kyle Chin skates from top to bottom down a beautiful hill in Outerspace. Wanted to capture a bit of freeriding, DH, slow motion and scenery. Shot with a Canon 7D, LENS Sigma 10-20mm f3.5 and Sigma 70mm f2.8. This video captures the beauty of riding. “

I picked the winner okay? Now leave me alone

It was tough.
Perhaps you might consider it a battle of the senses.

Meh, it was a close call on everyone’s part!

Ian Dutch! Congrats man. This photo is stellar. The color. The distortion of your friends in the background. The up close and personal longboard at a guerilla skate park. I love it. I could easily see this picture featured as a TV spot or something.

Okay, for the runner up I’m going to have to give it to Cody Lenz. The kid is having so much fun. He’s not going the typical longboarding route. I like the colors and the focus. Longboarding IS fun and its demonstrated right here.

I’ll add more of the photos I got throughout the week. Just thought I’d get these two out of the way. I’ll be in contact with both of you soon. Keep up the good work fellas.
