Carving The Moutains
More so recently, longboard skateboarding has become really popular as a mode of transportation, lifestyle, and best of all- fun. I was first introduced to skateboarding in Santa Barbara, but rediscovered it again in Barcelona Spain when I studied abroad in 2006 my Junior year of college at the Universiat de Pompeu Fabra. I was shown this short clip produced in Spain and really took a liking to it. The music at first reminds me of the Spanish Academy award winning Pan's Labyrinth. The creativity in Spain is so refreshing.
Check out The Longboard Crew on facebook. They have over 30,000 fans!
Hope you enjoy the video.
My New Sk8 Setup VS Da Old One
I never was one for traditional sports. I was the scronny chic in Jr High that no one wanted on their team. I picked up skateboarding in the 7th grade and it has always my little thing. I can ollie. My claim to fame. I have emersed myself in the skate industry for the past 2 1/2 years and this past week I set up my first vert board.
I used to want to learn how to kick flip, but now all I want to do is smoke the bowls at the park. Or hit up a good pool here and there. Or just drop in with out breaking my whole face.
Here is my new set up:
Thank you to Mimi Knoop, Cara-Beth Burnside, and the whole hoopla skateboards team for inspiring me and encouraging Woman's skateboarding
Here is my old set up:
Mini Logo 7.75" deck
sample white trucks glossy
BONES 53mm All Terrain Formula wheels
BONES HARDCORE Medium Bushings
In case you need a summary of what I changed up, here it is- This used to be my trade show cruising around the hood board... so it is skinner, the wheels are softer for going over gravel, and they are smaller. Oh, and the trucks just look pretty against the white background. I didn't want to scratch them (I am such a chic).
Yes, I had pink grip tape. I wanted it to be all girlie. Now this shit just gets dirty. Lol. Back to black!
Yeah all my favorite brands get a little spot on board. Yes, I kook it and I'm not sponsored. :P I have a freakish sticker obsession and will be stickering up my new hoopla deck once I get a wild hair up my butt!
Wish me luck! First session on my new board was Saturday and I am working on my wall rides and getting used to a bigger deck and faster, harder wheels.
Later skater.
