Having a great and challenging time following my son's longboarding activities this spring....... Top speeds are around 35-40mph for these roads.

Thanks for looking,
Scott

Great sport to see. #5 is a great panning shot and my favorite of the series.

Thanks so much for looking! I appreciate the feedback. This is really a fast-growing sport with very loyal followers. My favorite part about it is that it begins to shed the negative perception of skateboarders (most times undeserved). That is to say, that longboarding seems to have more of a surf culture, which feels quite mellow and inclusive.

Fun to shoot, and the riders really love seeing shots of themselves. Any suggestions or advice for this sport is appreciated.

Thanks again,
Scott

I think a slightly closer crop on some of these would make them be more impressive, but as they are they are pretty amazing.

nicely done, surprised not everyone has leathers on...like the pan...your sensor looks like mine, those high ƒ-stops show everything

Nice stuff!

#4 would look great with a tighter crop.
Good job getting down low on some.
I dig the pan shot too.

I like posts displaying the non-mainstream sports.

Thanks again, Guys!

This isn't a mainstream sport at the moment, but I truly can't believe how fast it has been growing. The grass-roots efforts have been remarkable. Weekend sessions, week long events, midnight runs, and neighborhood get-togethers are happening nearly all the time if there's not any snow on the ground.

Yes, Aqualung.......it's scary that not everyone wears leathers, but I'd say it has more to do with the expense. A good, used set will cost $300-$500 (new $800-$2000), but most will just make due with some motorcycle jackets/pants (which works well). It's not about the look, but that they're flying down the hill!

Regards,
Scott
