TSA agent noticed my longboard in the X-Ray and asked me what brand… Thought he was just being thorough but then he asked me what duro wheels I was running. Haha…

Check out the bottom left corner. I gotta say that after working at a skate shop I’ve seen this first hand. Street skating has plateau’d hardcore, and longboarding’s blowing up. Because of this, local law enforcement needs to reconsider the laws governing the use of skateboards.
Although skateboarding is still criminalized in West Vancouver, it is good to see that the police is seeing that longboarding is a growing form of green transportation. Continue to be a good example and slowly but surely we’ll overturn these unjust laws.
Fresh news on the front page of Silverfish Longboarding today. Looks like BoarderX is making it’s way over to California this weekend. After watching the video below I’ve always wanted to try it, as it combines downhill, slalom, and transition. An event of this magnitude is extremely difficult to do without road closure, so it goes to show that a good relationship between skaters, their city, and their law enforcement is extremely important. If you like this, see if you can get it done in your neck of the woods.

I actually attended this race out in Massachusetts. It’s always good to see people getting out of their comfort zone and getting a sanctioned event going. If you’re on the fence about getting an event going, DO IT! The worst response you can get is “No.”
P.Rod really captures the essence of skateboarding in just 2 minutes. The end is the best part. Check it!
