skateboards stink longboards rock

I didn’t ever think I would have to justify why longboards are hot and skateboards are not. But after over hearing some schmuck talking schmack talk about longboards, I felt like it was my duty to prove a point.

1. Speed: Longboards make skateboards look like a fat kid who recently rolled their ankle.
2. Cruise: Skateboards don’t cruise they rattle. Ninjas would use longboards as an accessory, they are so quiet and smooth.
3. Skateboards are for the little kiddies: Longboards are a classic, I don’t think you can ever be too old for a longboard they suit everyone.
4. Flow: Longboards make concrete turn into snow or waves. Skateboards are a one stop trick shop.
5. Which do the ladies like better: Would they prefer a small, slow guy that jumps all the time. OR would they prefer a long, smooth, fast, cruisy guy? Enough said!

Loaded Dervish Longboard

Last week Adam Colton sent me a Loaded Dervish so I could give it a spin. This week I tested the little puppy out, made sure it got the treatment it deserved. I gave it a tour of the streets, hills and skate park of wonderful Wellington(N.Z).
