Longboarding is a popular activity that involves riding a longboard, a type of skateboard with a longer and wider deck. Longboarding is often seen as a more relaxed and laid-back form of skateboarding, and it is often used for transportation, cruising, and downhill racing.

I personally ride a 48″ dancer longboard.

One of the key differences between longboarding and traditional skateboarding is the size and shape of the deck. Longboards are typically longer and wider than traditional skateboards, which gives them more stability and makes them easier to ride at high speeds. The wheels on longboards are also larger and softer, which allows for a smoother ride and better grip on the road.

There are several different styles of longboarding, each with its own unique characteristics and techniques. Some popular styles include cruising, carving, downhill racing, and freeride.

Cruising is the most basic form of longboarding, and it involves riding around at a leisurely pace, enjoying the scenery and taking in the sights and sounds of the environment. Carving involves making tight turns and curves in a fluid and graceful manner, while downhill racing involves riding at high speeds and navigating through tight turns and corners. Freeride is a style of longboarding that involves performing tricks and stunts, such as sliding and jumping.

Longboarding can be a fun and exciting activity for people of all ages. It is a great way to stay active, enjoy the outdoors, and improve balance and coordination. If you are interested in trying longboarding, it is important to always wear a helmet and other protective gear to reduce the risk of injury. It is also important to choose a longboard that is appropriate for your skill level and the type of riding you plan to do.

Overall, longboarding is a fun and exciting activity that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you are just starting out or are an experienced rider, there is a longboard and style of riding that is right for you. 

So why not give it a try and see what all the excitement is about?
