East Lansing Longboard Event by Go Green Longboarding
October 29, 2009 in Bombing Hills, Competitions, Events, 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!

-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.

One day I was surfing web and found this website. What longboards do you recommend for a beginner to longboarding? I have no experience skateboarding or snowboarding and I really want a longboard.

Not the super fancy double jointed longboard with drop through mounted trucks. Those are fun but are way harder to ride. Get a pretty big, solid longboard. Take a look at Warehouse Skateboards selection, most of those, in the $180 range, are stellar boards.
