Thanks for taking the time to put this together. You’ve got a great flow going. It’s goals for sure.

Great video, really motivating me to fix my longboard and find a pump track. That looks like so much fun.

Awesome tips Annie and very encouraging. I still haven’t taken the plunge on the pump track but there are a few local to me so it’s just a matter of time.

I’m a n00b to skateboarding… can barely just push myself along on the flat…. Did 3.5km today on the road… can’t ride pavements due to the lips between concrete slabs

Yeah I get it. I'm a bit of a noob too. Only started longboarding 2 years ago, but a lifetime snowboarding helped. I recommend trying different wheels that are a bit bigger (65-70mm) to get you over the bumps better. Kicktail too

Thanks for the tips. I have a Poke too!

[@marceloBAdARI]

Thanks for the tips! Which wheels are these?

[@EmilyVidd]

I'm pretty sure they are Orangutang 70mm 4 president. The kind with the straight edge on the side for more grip.

What board do you recommend ? What type of loaded board are you riding on?

[@EmilyVidd]

I currently use a loaded poke with carver c7 surfskate trucks. I think it's personal preference but wider boards with big tails give you power to push.

Switching sides?! Respekt!

Twenty something years snowboarding with my dominant leg forward made switch hard. So as I started longboarding I decided from day 1 to get comfortable switch 😁
