Longboard-Sessions Safety Guide

http://longboard-sessions.co.uk/p/safety

A nice longboard safety guide from the people from longboard-sessions.co.uk website has recently surfaced, with good information and common sense that also crosses over into other board sports.  All round, a good guide into surviving another day in environments where hard things come into contact with soft things and bad things happen....

All good advice here, reminding us that situational awareness for you and those around you is never a bad thing, and a system where everyone knows the rules before setting off makes total sense.

"Don't use 'go' - sounds like 'no'"

...personally, I quite like a good old 'left' or 'right' so at least people know which side I'll be hitting them from :-)

For everyone else who doesn't know longboard-sessions.co.uk, it's worth registering just to see if there are any other groups in the region as well as getting occasional heads-up reminders about any sessions taking place in the near vicinity.  I'm sure the code could be simply applied to other social sports such as mountain boarding with a little bit of of time, unfortunately, the one thing I don't have loads of :-(

Macclesfield Forest - Sunday 12th November - Don't Forget!

Lush 2006 Barcelona DVD online

...well, parts 1 and 2 anyway. Part 3 coming soon apparently.   Ahh, the joys of night riding!
Reminds me, must brush the cobwebs off the kilima and get riding at some point.

Longboarding Video - The Magic Rolling Board

Spotted on the Lush Longboards Blog....


...The insanely entertaining 'Magic Rolling Board' has been transferred from 16mm film to youtube.
Thrills, spills, dogs and babes,  the next 13 minutes will blow your mind!

Now, if someone could transfer 'us and friends' to the interwebs, that would be truly magic...

Hovercam anyone? and a bit of nice animation

Anyone up for using one of these in their next mountainboard DVD?  Probably not in the woods, but certainly adds an extra dimension to things!

And now for something completely different..

Re-reading through my initial post, I quickly realised that I didn't clarify what I would be blogging about. In brief, I fully intend to write about:

1 - Me. It's my blog so who better! Although I only intend at this stage to include board related items. This may change.
2 - Boarding, primarily mountain boarding, longboarding and freebording. This list of boards may increase or decrease as I latch myself onto 'the next big thing'.
3 - A spot guide to locations I have personally ridden. No thoughts yet on format or information contained, but this should iron itself out over time. Includes dedicated centres and free-riding.
4 - Descriptions of places I have visited that warrant a return visit with a board of some type.
5 - Response to feedback should I get any. hahaha.

Like all things of this nature, this is all subject to change, but so far so good.
