I'm super late to the thread, but I met someone my age longboarding on the trails, and now I have a longboarding buddy, which I've wanted for a long time.
It's not easy to make friends at my age, so I feel so thankful about this.
You can longboard on trails? I thought longboarding was just for roads or other smooth / paved things. Or maybe I don't know anything about longboarding :D Sounds cool!
It's the first I heard about longboarding on trails, too. I'd be interested to learn more about what that's like.
My brother used to do a lot of longboarding when I was growing up. He was more into doing things on smooth/paved ground as far as I knew. Going down hills was his thing; had a few buddies he'd do it with. I remember he had the road puck gloves for it. I should ask if he still has those lying around in some drawer of his apartment. Scraped his knees and arms plenty of times, occasionally pretty gnarly. Probably broke at least one bone 👀?
I never got into it myself, but it was some cool stuff to see from the side while he was still into it.
