Dan Posted August 9, 2005 Report Share Posted August 9, 2005 The longboard club I ride with (you know, the one that's been serving me all those heaping portions of asphalt) got written up in the Oregonian, our local newspaper. It's a pretty good article; locals will be particularly amused by the section explaining how one of our more hoity-toity suburbs sees longboarders as a menace. Link to the article here: http://www.oregonlive.com/metro/oregonian/index.ssf?/base/news/1123494998191810.xml&coll=7&thispage=1 The paper also ran this kick-ass <a href="http://eastsidelongboards.com/images/ShotWeek/Oregonian-shot.jpg">photo</a> across the front of the Metro section, 4 columns wide and in color. So, all you longboarders out there who know what you're doing, anyone want to offer a critique on the form of these two riders? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr. sandman Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 I don't know diddly about longboarding, but I have immense respect for the nuggets you all have! My son rides a long board, and I've tried in a parking lot - I can totally see why you are drawn to it. I'm just an old wuss and don't like how the pavment manages to take home more flesh than I do:rolleyes: Absolutely AWESOME article and photo!! It's great that your local media isn't afraid to affirm some "non-conformist" activities. !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason_watkins Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 saw that and thought of you dan :) I borrowed a longboard from a buddy... the thing terrifies me. How I skated back in middle school I'll never understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
