Added 2024-02-12 18:59:44 +0000 UTCStory time with tchai! For many years I've wanted to longboard, but for some reason I was convinced that longboards were reserved exclusively for speeding down long, winding mountain roads - which is not something I ever had easy access to (and going that fast is probably a bit too much for me anyway because I am almost old). When modeling a thing that exists, I typically learn a bit about it, to have at least a basic grasp of how it works, to understand it, so I can model it better, and it turns out I was dumb af to think that a longboard is a longboard meant for one longboard purpose. There are so many types, so many use cases, and you can also use them like smoother, faster, and more comfortable skateboards, just for cruising around. Anyway, where this brings us is that I tentatively got an inexpensive, entry level longboard and I'm currently learning to ride it. It's been a minor dream of mine for many years and I'm finally fulfilling it. It is going well. <3
Slowly getting up from the passenger seat of my life whizzing by. Both figurative and literal knees hurt a bit, but we cruisin (and taking collagen).
The beautiful grip art was conceptualized by me, and done by Thalomine!
Enjoy. :)

Oof, I'm sorry to hear that. My first (and so far last) fall was for the exactly same reason - sometimes there's just no way to notice the lil buggers, and I'm sure it only gets harder with more speed. Luckily I wasn't going very fast, and had protection, so I'm 100% fine, but wow was it a Not Great Feeling haha

2024-02-18 19:57:46 +0000 UTCMy brother used to longboard, until he broke his collar bone because a rock got stuck between his wheel and the ground going down a huge hill. He shared with me the different types of cruising boards in his collection. They were long and cool looking. Some of them have this thin part in the middle or at the end that make it easier to shift your weight. He had the ones that allowed you to lay down. Glad to hear you're up and out of the house doing something different. Keep at it and get yourself some extra padding just in case. Keep yourself safe.
