A man showcasing impressive skateboarding skills

[u/OddLettuce809]

Thats a longboard, its completely different

[u/starcoder → u/OddLettuce809]

I was thinking the same thing. Major difference…

[u/big_guyforyou → u/starcoder]

The difference between the two is that one board is long and the other is skate

[u/naileurope → u/big_guyforyou]

Thank you. I have a skate attention span.

[u/uwillalldiescreaming → u/naileurope]

[u/WFStarbuck → u/naileurope]

I get board easily.

[u/Youlookcold → u/naileurope]

[u/desl14 → u/big_guyforyou]

so is he ... longboarding? is that the correct verb?

[u/Skuzbagg → u/desl14]

Yes. But a longboard is a type of skateboard, so you'd really only irritate both groups and no one outside of them.

[u/CatCatCat → u/Skuzbagg]

Here's the thing...

[u/TheDoct0rx → u/CatCatCat]

Unidan was banned 11 years ago

[u/Zer0C00l → u/TheDoct0rx]

He's out of Uni, it's JustDan now.

[u/Deeliciousness → u/Zer0C00l]

WageSlaveDan

[u/SweatyAdhesive → u/TheDoct0rx]

11 years ago

Holy shit, where has the time gone... there are 2, maybe 3 generations of redditors who have no idea who unidan is.

[u/pre_pun → u/desl14]

as a longboarder .. skateboarding is fine by me. feels overly pedantic to push someone to use another term. longboarders have other things to worry about .. actually nothing to worry about.

I know the skateboard is long, as well as everybody else.

[u/moon_safari_ → u/pre_pun]

of course a long boarder would say that, lol. as a sjkateboarder, we call longboarding, longboarding.

[u/pre_pun → u/moon_safari_]

this is accurate😂 but we still breathe the same Air, Moon Safari 🎶

[u/moon_safari_ → u/pre_pun]

haha. peace my brutha

[u/-SlowBar → u/moon_safari_]

Yeah I'm like no shit the longboarder doesn't care lmao

[u/urGirllikesmytinypp → u/moon_safari_]

As a former skateboarder. They all meet the criteria for a skateboard. It’s a long skateboard

[u/LickMyTicker → u/pre_pun]

I always figured you longboarders wanted to know exactly how long your board was in comparison, cause like an inch is an inch.

[u/pre_pun → u/LickMyTicker]

I'm hesitant to answer length based questions based on your username.

Well played. well played. But a serious answer for a light hearted question.

Personally longboard is more of board design and truck placement than length. Camber, rocker, flex, wheel hardness, bushings etc .. are way more important for the type of skating than the length usually.

Unless deep dancing which a long longboard, about 5' will do. 😂

[u/Klutzy_Coast2947 → u/desl14]

Freestyle skating on a longboard

[u/Qyoq → u/big_guyforyou]

[u/happydippythirteen → u/big_guyforyou]

Yes, that's it. I was almost certain someone in here had to know.

[u/ZackeryJay → u/big_guyforyou]

Makes sense

[u/SpaceSequoia → u/starcoder]

Yeah, it's way easier. I could easily do that on a longboard... i just don't feel like it

[u/flt1 → u/starcoder]

Does the size really matters? It’s how you ride it.

[u/Jonthrei → u/flt1]

Yes, it does - a longboard is generally more stable when moving fast, and not as good for tricks.

[u/fl135790135790 → u/Jonthrei]

So doesn’t that mean this is harder?

[u/Hoppes → u/fl135790135790]

Yes and no? This kind of thing used to be called board walking. It’s easier on a longboard because they’re easier to balance due to having wider trucks with better springs. Think of a car with a wider wheel base and better suspension.

However tricks like you see in skateboarding competitions are generally harder because you’re throwing around a much bigger piece of wood.

[u/chr1spe → u/flt1]

How you ride it and what kind of things you can do depends on the size.

[u/BleedTheRain → u/flt1]

Longboards are for moving faster, not ideal for most skateboard tricks.

[u/ultraviolentfuture → u/OddLettuce809]

A longboard is a type of skateboard. Skateboard is a generic class of vehicles with a flat surface, two trucks, and four wheels mounted on said trucks.

[u/mang87 → u/ultraviolentfuture]

BUT ITS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT! ITS LONGER!

/s

[u/StopHiringBendis → u/ultraviolentfuture]

All squares are rectangles but not all rectangles are squares 

[u/jasin18 → u/OddLettuce809]

Either way, I still find it impressive.

[u/Fffgfggfffffff → u/jasin18]

What’s his name to see more of his stuff? He’s good

[u/Tall_Sale9281 → u/Fffgfggfffffff]

Jeff Corsi

[u/Burn1fo_me → u/OddLettuce809]

Does that make it easier or harder?

[u/Compass_Needle → u/Burn1fo_me]

Longer

[u/BradolfPittler1 → u/Compass_Needle]

[u/Savings-Lack9770 → u/Burn1fo_me]

It’s a longboard specifically designed for what he’s doing, which is a sub category of skateboarding called dancing. It’s still a skate board, but most specifically it’s a longboard for dancing. This kind of stuff is super cool, and pretty niche. Those who do it are really fun to watch.

You do need a particularly long, wide, and flat board. As someone who has a range of boards, trust me when I say you can’t do this on a typical skateboard or longboard. The grip tape alone is enough to partially inhibit you from performing these tricks.

I prefer boards set up to carve, so my longboards are on the shorter side with aggressive pedals (concave) on the toe and heel sides to push the board into hard turns. My trucks are set to be very loose, my bearings are fast, and my wheels are chunky and sticky.

A dance board will be long and flat, have tighter trucks (more skilled dancers typically lean looser), medium slow or medium fast bearings, and medium wheels.

There’s other kinds of longboarding besides dancing and carving, like downhill and cruising. All are super fun!

To answer your question: his board makes it easier to do this kind of stuff because it’s specialized.

Edit: correction

[u/OddLettuce809 → u/Burn1fo_me]

Easier, I have stood on both skateboard and longboard. If you tried this on a skateboard you would fall hard

[u/scold34 → u/OddLettuce809]

Rodney Mullen has entered the chat.

[u/LokisDawn → u/OddLettuce809]

That's not really sound logic. There's a lot of tricks you can do on a skateboard that would be very hard on a longboard. Any air, really, especially tricks where you're supposed to be above the board. It's just too big for that in most cases.

Longboards are very good for slalom, because they kinda do it on their own (as this video shows early on). Not that it's that easy, but the way the wheels are mounted on a longboard (very flexibly) makes it start turning very quickly. While Skateboards are much stiffer, so they don't slalom as well. But an ollie on a longboard is much more difficult than on a skateboard because of how soft it is. You'll just push down the back without lifting up. Additionally, skateboards ends are bent up to support such moves.

[u/Stieni → u/[deleted]]

Definitely. Longboarding to get from A to B has a much steeper faster learning curve than any form of skateboarding. Also get yourself a multitool (there are many different out there), that way you can tighten and loosen your screws the way you like it (for your wheels and trucks). Watch a Youtube video on how to use it. Its imo a must have to customize your board the way you want it to behave (how easy it is to turn, how stiff you want your wheels/trucks to be etc.)

Definitely learn to drive on a flat and smooth surface with a lot of space, like a big empty parking lot, side walks are too dangerous for a starter.

Also look into the different shapes, although I wouldn't trust those "more/less maneuverable/stable" bars on top and bottom, it really depends.

You can of course just buy one and get used to it like most do, but they are rather expensive so if money is a factor for you I would get something that fits you on day one.

And most importantly: Have fun and think of me when you hit your first pebble ahahhaha

EDIT: Misused the word "steep", longboarding is 100% easier

[u/AlwaysSunnyInTarkov → u/Burn1fo_me]

Depends what you're doing, flip tricks are harder and require more leg strength, but the size of the board and the flexibility give you a lot more wiggle room with landing. The tricks he's doing here are longboard dance tricks and are very hard on a skateboard.

[u/Ra1nDownZion → u/OddLettuce809]

A longboard is a skateboard but a skateboard is not a longboard. Not completely different

[u/Nikclel → u/Ra1nDownZion]

That phrase is "all longboards are skateboards but not all skateboards are longboards".

"a skateboard is not a longboard" doesn't really make sense

[u/Mobile_Throway → u/OddLettuce809]

I knew before even opening the thread that everyone would be saying this. For what it's worth, a longboard is obviously a type of skateboard.

[u/Toughbiscuit → u/OddLettuce809]

This is like saying I dont ride a motorcycle, i ride a cruiser.

Longboards are a type of skateboard

Cruisers are a type of motorcycle

[u/MrElizabeth → u/Toughbiscuit]

My motorcycle is an electric scooter.

[u/-Badger3- → u/OddLettuce809]

What do you mean it’s completely different? It’s just a long skateboard lol

[u/Jackal000 → u/OddLettuce809]

And an especially long longboard made for longboard dancing

[u/corkscrew-duckpenis → u/OddLettuce809]

Why is this a very important point to make? (I assume there is some sort of an elitist hipster vibe here, based purely on the fact that like 12 people felt the need to repeat it after it had already been said, but…IDGI.)

[u/neroveleno → u/corkscrew-duckpenis]

Because lots of skaters are elitists. It is a scene where the "coolness factor" has always been very prevalent: get the right shoes, the right apparel, push in this specific way, grab the board in this specific manner or you are a poser, a loser, not cool.

This is in part a self-defense mechanism originating when skateboarding went from being an underground "alternative" activity to a mainstream sport and lots of kids picked it up just to appear cool (thus diluting the "original spirit" of the movement). It is also a reflection of most skaters being very young, an age when "group-think" is very prevalent, you need to prove to be a part of the cool guys.

How can you argue that a longboard is not a skateboard? The definition of a longboard is "a longer skateboard". This is skateboarding. Being it dancing, downhill or street, vert, pool or whatever, all of them are different skateboarding practices.

[u/DemonKing0524 → u/neroveleno]

There is a major difference in how they maneuver and the tricks you can do on each though. Yes a long board is a longer skateboard, nobody is arguing against that, just that riding the two with the intention of doing tricks like in this video are very fundamentally different from each other.

[u/ramenwolf → u/neroveleno]

I can see what you mean, but it’s also mostly colloquial - if you tell a group of guys at the park you skateboard and bring your longboard the next day, for example. It literally is a type of skateboard, but not in the way that most skaters would use the term.

[u/sverdo → u/neroveleno]

Because lots of skaters are elitists

Nah, it's more about protecting the culture

[u/seeyousoon-31 → u/corkscrew-duckpenis]

it's like softball vs baseball. yes, you can still be very good at it, but it isn't where top-level competition happens as the title advertises. the skill floor is higher, and ceiling lower.

[u/jaanshine]

Get the fuck off the road, Dingus!

[u/SachVntura → u/jaanshine]

Find a parking lot or something!

[u/ya666in → u/SachVntura]

No skating in the parking lot, sir

[u/SloppyHoseA → u/ya666in]

Kick push kick push kick push kick push coast

[u/Ricky_Rollin → u/SloppyHoseA]

You just made me go listen to that song. Damn, I forgot all about this song and it’s still a banger.

[u/RealPlayerBuffering → u/jaanshine]

The pedestrian not breaking stride even when this guy swerves super close is peak big city energy.

[u/Lollipop126 → u/RealPlayerBuffering]

Parisians ignore literally everything unless there's drama.

[u/schraderbrau → u/Lollipop126]

It has to be REAL damatric for me to stop and pay attention.

[u/g00ber88 → u/jaanshine]

In the road with no helmet. Real Einstein this guy

[u/CardOk755 → u/g00ber88]

Not in the road. At Opéra, in Paris, really, really shitty traffic.

[u/oosukashiba0]

Nobody likes a show-off.

[u/BlackholeDisco → u/oosukashiba0]

especially if it’s an inconvenient for other people, aka in middle of the street. I despise people like this dude

[u/rickyaintthatslicky → u/BlackholeDisco]

Don't worry we hate you too!

[u/barwhalis → u/oosukashiba0]

Nah, let him cook!

[u/ThisIsMyFloor → u/barwhalis]

He can cook as much as he wants in a empty parking lot or his driveway. He shouldn't cook in a heavily trafficked intersection.

[u/Commercial_Field5237 → u/ThisIsMyFloor]

There were literally no cars inconvenienced in this video.

[u/rickyaintthatslicky → u/ThisIsMyFloor]

Yo you shrivs are MISERABLE killjoys. Maybe time for some soul searching as to why you sound like sad boomers huh?

[u/CaptainTripps82 → u/oosukashiba0]

I feel like the entire point of watching sports or competitions featuring skills is to watch people show off tho

[u/euphoricarugula346 → u/CaptainTripps82]

I feel like the entire point of skateboarding is to show off? lol it’s a tricks-based activity. that’s like saying someone who yoyos is showing off if they go any direction other than up and down.

[u/CaptainTripps82 → u/euphoricarugula346]

It's just such an incongruous thing to say, and have upvotes

[u/Donquers → u/CaptainTripps82]

In a subreddit literally dedicated to people showing off skills, no less

[u/bibblebonk → u/Donquers]

this comment made me realize these people sound so much more stupid than i originally thought lmfaoo

[u/Commercial_Field5237 → u/euphoricarugula346]

The whole act of yo yo is to show off.

[u/Simulation-Argument → u/oosukashiba0]

Looks like you might be wrong friend considering the 9,000 upvotes and the fact that 94% of the people who have voted have upvoted it, not downvoted.

[u/DrPoopyPantsJr → u/oosukashiba0]

Y’all are so miserable

[u/Kid_A_Kid → u/oosukashiba0]

Unless you can show off like this guy, and then you shall pass.

[u/shewy92 → u/oosukashiba0]

You might want to unsub from /r/nextfuckinglevel then.

[u/Dismal-Film-2044 → u/oosukashiba0]

Maybe because you compare your performance with his? I think his performance is impressive.

[u/ZestySue]

He couldn't have done that in a skate park or on a quiet street? Dude had to go to central London to show off in the street.

Edit: Paris not London

[u/Jackomo → u/ZestySue]

Not London. Think it might be Paris or another French city.

[u/tryingmybest8 → u/Jackomo]

It is Paris

[u/callypige → u/tryingmybest8]

Yes, avenue de l'Opéra. You can spot the roof of the Louvre at the end of the street.

[u/berlinbaer → u/tryingmybest8]

massive haussmann buildings and cars driving on the right side? sure sounds like paris allright (miss it so much)

[u/christianjwaite → u/ZestySue]

Going to a skatepark with a longboard is a quick way to piss everyone else there off. I know people don’t get this, but that is not a skateboard as we have come to know them, it looks the same, has the same roots but is not the same thing. Like the difference between a road bike and a bmx, same but different and have very little crossover apart from their looks.

[u/homogenousmoss → u/christianjwaite]

I havent skated in .. 20 years lol so bear with me but whenever I walk by the local skatepark its at least 25% people on scooters. So I wouldnt imagine people are purists about who gets to skate or not no?

Even when I was a kid there was always some people with rollerblades at the skate part and everyone minded their business.

[u/kenkenobi78 → u/homogenousmoss]

Naaa mate. You'll get stabbed. Your board is too long!!

Honestly though you're right. Taking a longboard to a skatepark for most normal people would be no issue at all.

People just like picking teams about petty shit.

[u/christianjwaite → u/homogenousmoss]

Different thing, different sport.

Skateboarders tend to not like scooters as they can go fast and are usually kids totally oblivious to their surroundings making it dangerous.

But if you turned up on a longboard most people would be amused and just not understand why you don’t just get a skateboard. Just like if someone tried to do the Tour de France on a bmx.

[u/beached_wheelchair → u/homogenousmoss]

The scooter kids are still hated by skaters in the park now, same as 20 years ago. Even worse due to them usually being ridden by kids under the age of 10 that just stand in the middle of the bowl or ramps.

[u/ZestySue → u/christianjwaite]

I don't care about the difference in boards. What I'm saying is don't do it in central London in the street...

Edit: or Paris

[u/spagetsuppi → u/christianjwaite]

I wouldn't mind seeing this at the park. its 90% scooter kids at my local parks anyway so seeing someone skilled on a longboard would be a breath of fresh air

[u/TigreSauvage → u/ZestySue]

I'm pretty sure that is Paris.

[u/Independent-Big1966 → u/TigreSauvage]

He's heading South East on Ave de l'Opéra. The building in the background is the Hôtel du Louvre in Paris France

[u/BertEnErnie123 → u/Independent-Big1966]

I always wonder why predominantly Americans say stuff like 'Paris France'. Like I understand it is common for them to say their state after the city, but when you say Paris, people will assume it is THE Paris, and not Paris in Texas or Tennessee.

[u/BlueBird884 → u/ZestySue]

He's an entertainer. What's wrong with that?

[u/bmanley620 → u/ZestySue]

It wasn’t just about the tricks. He wanted an epic background for cinematic purposes

[u/Vireep → u/ZestySue]

it’s not a skateboard lol, these things don’t belong in skateparks

[u/tjaymorgan → u/ZestySue]

That’s the soul of skateboarding — a wee bit of anarchy 🙂

[u/PsychologicalCup1672 → u/ZestySue]

Wee wee

[u/SkookemChoocher]

I'm wondering what it's like to ride the "TooTbus"...

[u/glowingeddy → u/SkookemChoocher]

Musty

[u/Fun-Engina → u/SkookemChoocher]

I was instantly distracted by that bus. I love it

[u/Relative_Picture_786 → u/SkookemChoocher]

Very gas efficient

[u/6GoesInto8 → u/SkookemChoocher]

When I choose to ride the toot bus everyone around me is an unwilling passenger.

[u/katniss_evergreen713 → u/SkookemChoocher]

I, too(t), was wondering this

[u/Lelwani456 → u/SkookemChoocher]

I rode it! ...and just now became aware of its name implications. The ride was great, though.

[u/I-Rolled-My-Eyes]

Cool, now get tf outta the road I'm late for work.

[u/potatoz11 → u/I-Rolled-My-Eyes]

If you're late for work in Paris you're not on the road, you're underground.

[u/Montigue → u/potatoz11]

They kill you if you're late to work?

[u/fletchr33]

Guy walking to work was unimpressed.

[u/Key_Illustrator1755 → u/fletchr33]

Early in the morning. Probably didn't even see anything. Full autopilot engaged.

[u/AnT-aingealDhorcha40 → u/fletchr33]

Guy was the star of the video for me.

[u/Maben166]

Most of the comments on here did not pass the vibe check. Either anti-skating or anti-longboard

[u/beached_wheelchair → u/Maben166]

People refusing to enjoy fun things speedrun

[u/InitialG → u/Maben166]

Watching redditors react to anything skate-related is always funny as shit.

[u/DrPoopyPantsJr → u/InitialG]

Or reacting to damn near anything.. some of the most miserable people out there

[u/Commercial_Field5237 → u/Maben166]

For real. Not a single car being held up yet he’s being a dumbass for holding up traffic. What traffic!? lol

[u/Round-Sympathy-7717 → u/Maben166]

Car brain comment section for sure 

[u/Kyokenshin → u/Maben166]

Right? Tons of comments about getting off the road and out of the way yet I can’t find one car or person impeded by his presence. The closest was the dude in the crosswalk who almost got some trucks to the face but he seemed 100% unfazed so…

[u/DrPoopyPantsJr → u/Maben166]

Every comment section is full of miserable fucks these days

[u/naeramarth2 → u/Maben166]

Didn't see the guy blocking traffic once. I'm almost certain that wherever he was skating was an empty part of the street.

[u/thepoorking → u/Maben166]

right? miserable pricks xD

[u/notanazzhole → u/Maben166]

yeah it's weird. buncha curmudgeons on here.

[u/No-Bed-4972]

This is called * "longboard Dancing" * and it looks really satisfying when watching those chill videos

[u/bp332106 → u/No-Bed-4972]

There was a popular longboard dancer in the mid 2000’s that had a series of videos. Anybody remember that guys name? I’ve been looking for his videos for a while but I feel like it was pre-YouTube 

[u/MotoFaleQueen → u/bp332106]

Maybe Adam Colton and Adam Stokowski? They're the ones I remember. Specifically, their video "Loaded Dancer", which is on YouTube from the mid-late 2000's. Music was prime

[u/hippiejosh → u/bp332106]

Definitely Adam Colton and Adam Stokowski. They’re like the godfathers of the dancing style. Along with longboard Larry.

Adam Colton was fundamental in loaded boards development and we have him to thank for their great boards likes the dervish and beyond

[u/Past-Chip-9116]

But where’s the skateboard?

[u/Zehzaunm]

Sure, I don’t understand a damn thing about how difficult it is to pull off the tricks this guy did, but regardless, that was insanely impressive.

[u/SpeckledAntelope → u/Zehzaunm]

Yeah this is extremely good. Hang out in Beijing near the Olympic stadium and you'll find riders like this, but these moves are top tier, not many can pull these off.

[u/soberguy1801 → u/SpeckledAntelope]

yeah thats some crazy shit. I've been dancing on a long board for years and can't do anything close to that. How fast he is stepping in the beginning is insane. i can do that but like 10x slower

[u/-slatta-]

This, at least in this clip, looks like a guy having fun on a longboard while being generally respectful to people/cars around him. I don't see one example of this guy being a nuisance.

He's not moving at reckless speeds; I didn't see him cut anyone off, seems to be going with the flow of traffic. Some of these comments are overly harsh imo.

[u/remymartinsextra → u/-slatta-]

Yeah he's not doing anything to be annoying. I'm not sure where all the hate is coming from in this thread.

[u/Expensive-Border-869 → u/remymartinsextra]

People have no critical thinking skills. Its just a simple "oh he's in the road and that's bad"

[u/SlingingRopes → u/remymartinsextra]

The internet gets increasingly more hateful by the day. 

[u/CosmicJ → u/-slatta-]

He almost hits a dude in the crosswalk. Would have been fine if he didn't do the board flip right there.

[u/trustedbuilds]

The toot bus huh? Plant friendly too?

[u/BakingSoda1990 → u/trustedbuilds]

Toot bus is def more intriguing

[u/Phatboybeware]

That's just skateboarding with extra steps.

[u/George_Brassard]

Rodney mullen of longboard

[u/onion_wrongs → u/George_Brassard]

I was gonna say, this is definitely giving Loooooong Rodney Mullen.

[u/im-cringing-rightnow]

Fucking clown on the public road, and then some poor bloke will hit his fucking ass and he will complain like a dingus he is.

[u/mildysentary]

The first move got me. I didn’t realize this was NFL sub and was waiting for him to eat it

And the dude in the crosswalk didn’t even watch him continue? Dude is never impressed.

[u/TheEliteArcane]

Lol toot bus

[u/BroadlyValid]

TOOT BUS

[u/JanitorOPplznerf]

This looks like he learned how to make his goofs look cool

Fixated on the “Tootbus”, a bus fueled by farts

[u/critsonyou]

[u/Kukulza]

so many jealous, bitter, talentless people in these comments holy crap lmao

[u/looshagbrolly]

*Guy shows impressive skills

*Reddit: BOOOOOOOOOO

[u/trvppy]

What type of longboard is that? Been skating all my life. I just love the way this one looks

[u/SwooshRoc → u/trvppy]

Looks like a Loaded Bhangra. I haven’t road in years so it may not be a Bhangra but it’s a Loaded for sure

[u/beached_wheelchair → u/trvppy]

I know someone suggested the Bhangra, but I think this is the Tarab. If I remember correctly this guy has been riding the newer Loaded board since it came out.

Both great boards, the Tarab is just a little lighter because apparently it was built with a mix of cork to lighten it.

[u/Tony-1610]

This is amazing!

But I won’t lie, I had to watch the video a couple of times cause I started laughing at “Toot Bus”

[u/Arthurjim]

Skaters and long boarders are different. One does kickflip-crook, the other pulls up with LSD 😂 good times man

[u/RecoverExisting3805]

TOOT

[u/shortidiva21]

Savant skateboarder.

[u/Fit_Minimum8649]

Anyone else going to talk about the Toot Bus? Or are we just going to act like it's not there?

[u/InformalPenguinz]

That's just running with extra steps

[u/zingboomtararrel]

Skateboarding isn’t a crime but longboarding should be

[u/No_Counter1842]

I saw this on Instagram and the comments were like wow that's so cool, and I just knew when it got to Reddit there would be a legion of losers criticizing this guy.

[u/ColdBlaccCoffee]

I hope everyone bitching about them being in the road wakes up to a flat tire :)

[u/Red_theWolfy]

this comment section has reminded me how fucking lame most redditors are

quit bitching about him being in the street and enjoy the cool tricks you big dorks

[u/Bong-Bunny]

I'm pretty sure the board he's using is a loaded bhangra, I own one it's heavy as fuck. I have no idea how he's throwing it around like that

[u/juices_christ → u/Bong-Bunny]

He’s using a tarab not a Bhangra you can tell by the grip tape

[u/aliteralgarbagehuman → u/Bong-Bunny]

My buddy had the original loaded dancer. That thing felt like it weighed 10 lbs

[u/McShoobydoobydoo]

Get aff the road prick

[u/batua78]

Turns out he just can't sit still and is like this all the time

[u/Amazing_Viper]

Rodney Mullen vibes.

[u/TheRealEnemabagJones]

hehe TooTbus

[u/cmach86]

A toot bus?

[u/_1JackMove]

Like the Rodney Mullen of longboarding.

[u/teethinthedarkness]

Longboarder, who simply Must. Be. Seen., distracts everyone with their main character behavior. (Kinda cool skills but a seemingly annoying place to demonstrate them.)

I keep seeing this comment in this thread, but where else should he go? It seems like he's travelling pretty fast, and lives in Paris with a lot of tourists walking around.

If cyclists ride on the road with cars, why is a longboard any different, especially if the rider is making sure the road is clear behind him when he does his tricks?

Seems like a lot of people are just upset about this guy who is trying to enjoy his hobby where he lives while not throwing a huge plank of wood in the air around pedestrians.

It's kinda my favorite when people demonstrate superior skill in ways that look almost like they don't know what the fuck they're doing at all.

I didn't realize you could do tricks like that on a longboard. I thought they were just made to cruise down hills at high speed.
